10 years of medtech research, innovation and cooperation

Tobias Goldman from Detecht demonstrated their motorcycle app with built-in GPS and crash detection. Check it out if you own a bike and want to drive safer! Here together with one of the researchers behind the algorithm, the MedTech West researcher Stefan Candefjord

Sonam Iqbal and Max Ortiz from Integrum demonstrated Neuromotus used to treat phantom limb pain. Did you know that trials show a 50% reduction in pain? Pretty amazing, since no other treatments have worked for these patients previously!

Jeanette Demorney from Medfield Diagnostics demonstrated their MD100 to interested participants during the day. With MD100 it takes only a few minutes minutes to screen patients for intracranial bleedings, and it can be done already on the accident site

Fredrik Gellerstedt from Ten Medical Design demonstrated their innovation: the radiation proof textile TeXray and their first product- a head protection for medical staff exposed to radiation at work. Here with Lina Strand-Backman and Andreas Albertsson, both Innovationsplattformen

Simon Skau, GU researcher with lab at MedTech West, demonstrated the fNIRS technique that he´s using to investigate functionality in brains. Master student Linus Lagergren was connected to the equipment while performing tasks on the computer

Senior analytical chemist, Moa Andresen-Bergström from the department of Clinical Chemistry at Sahlgrenska demonstrated the new saliva based drug test- a project that was partly financed by funding from Medtech4Health, the national Vinnova program that MTW is representing in western Sweden

Investment advisor Iris Öhrn from Business Region Göteborg (BRG) learning about the features of the motorcycle app from Detecht´s Tobias Goldman

Sonam from Integrum demonstrated Neuromotus to professor Kerstin Nilsson from the Institute of Health and Care Sciences at GU

Leif Sandsjö from MedTech West and University of Borås was here from the start. He presented his research chronologically.

Stefan Candefjord, MedTech West and Chalmers, presented several projects, here together with Rubén Buendía, former MedTech West researcher, now at Astra Zeneca.

Here Rolf Heckemann, professor at MedTech West, was showing pictures of his own brain.
