The Chinese University of Hong Kong Hong Kong (Tech Exchange, Booth: 3F-C21 ) Intelligent Sprain-free Sport Shoe Unlike other protective apparels, the shoe is an active protective apparel which allows full range of motion during normal movement, only provides protection when needed Targeting elite, professional or recreational athletes in all kinds of sports, the protection mechanism of the shoe consists of 3 parts: Sensing – detect the ankle motion in a real time　manner Identification – determine sprain risk based on the data collected Correction – myoelectric stimulation device to deliver electric signals to the peroneal muscles at the lateral shank to correct the spraining motion   The Chinese University of Hong Kong Hong Kong (Tech Exchange, Booth: 3F-C21 ) Interactive Weight-Bearing Exercise Technology The project aims to develop an interactive weight-bearing exercise (iWE) platform using magnetic levitation to provide mechanical stimulation for musculoskeletal strengthening. Conventional platforms usually employ complicated mechanics that are of high cost. This new design is both innovative and simple, and achieves high energy efficiency, low maintenance, low noise and low cost. The iWE platform uses magnetic repulsion to float the platform and human body above the ground. This reduces mechanical friction, making the system highly energy efficient, less prone to wear-out, and quiet in operation. Different amplitudes and frequencies can be adjusted for specific clinical indications. Applications include: Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis Improvement of blood circulation Improvement of muscle functions such as balance control Relief of lower back pain   The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Hong Kong (Tech Exchange, Booth: 3F-D22) Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging for Breast Cancer Diagnosis The basic principle for elasticity imaging is to map tissue stiffness through ultrasound probe compression so that the tumor region can be clearly viewed. This technique is similar to finger manual palpation, but is much more accurate with medical imaging and quantitative information. Compact, low cost, easy-to-operate, this product is the first ultrasound elasticity imaging system developed and manufactured in China in collaboration with Shantou Institute of Ultrasonic Instruments Co Ltd (SIUI).   The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Hong Kong (Tech Exchange, Booth: 3F-D22) Ultrasound Elasticity Evaluation for Liver Fibrosis This is the first time in the world that a conventional ultrasound scanner is equipped with elasticity measurement using external vibration. This portable and cost-effective device can be used for evaluation of fibrosis of livers and other tissues by measuring their elasticity non-invasively using a vibro-ultrasound technique. Ultrasound images of liver and its elasticity can be obtained simultaneously. The assessment region can be selected accurately and reproducibly for the elasticity measurement with the guidance of the images.   The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Hong Kong (Tech Exchange, Booth: 3F-D22) 3D Ultrasound Imaging For Spine Scoliosis Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common spinal deformity among children and the prevalence of scoliosis is 2-4% of the general population. Unlike conventional X-ray imaging which posts threats of radiation hazards, this novel system is radiation-free and developed based on 3D ultrasound imaging. It can be used for evaluation of different kinds of scoliosis and the measurement can be taken as frequently as required. It can be installed anywhere for screening and assessment purposes. In addition, curing progress can be continuously monitored by this system during treatment period.   The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Hong Kong (Tech Exchange, Booth: 3F-D22) Elderly Fall Detection System The system aims to detect fall and motionless scenarios and activity level for elderly people, infants or other users for fall alarming and prevention. The motion data is continuously recorded in a MicroSD card for a long period and the data are used to predict the risk level of potential fall. For accurate real-time fall detection, both current and past motion data are used The system also provides statistics of daily activities monitoring such as walking times, steps, and sitting posture. The information is useful to caregivers to design a better caring for users’ quality of life.   CKICOM Technology Limited Hong Kong (Rehabilitation and Elderly Care, Booth: 3F-B05) CAREase Electronic Wet Sensor CAREase is developed for nursing home, realising the trend of using electronic technology in home for elderly. Used with CAREase diaper which contains sense wires, the micro emitter clipped on the diaper will send out a signal when wet diaper is detected to light up a red alert on the monitor, on which the time will also be displayed. The product benefits the health of the elderly by facilitating timely change of wet diapers. The product also shows nursing homes’ loving care to the elderly, respecting their dignity.   Logital Co. Limited Hong Kong (Hospital Equipment, Booth: 3F-B13) Easy Hear EasyHear was awarded the Certificate of Merit of the Hong Kong ICT Awards – Best Digital Inclusion (Product/Application) in 2007. This product can be act as an amplification booster to hearing aids and it can also be used alone, through a twin-mic headset. Via Bluetooth, it can work with mobile phones, MP3/4 players, TV sets etc. The product features Logital’s patented, proprietary twin-microphone beamforming technology with noise cancellation function and efficient and power-saving algorithms. EasyHear is looks appealing like a music player. It is also very user-friendly without any transmitter or receiver. With either 360-degree omni-directional setting or with +/-30 degree beamforming function on, users can have a chance to listen even better than normal hearing people.   Bio-Collagen Technologies SDN. BHD Malaysia (Manufacturing and Design Solutions Booth no: 3F-C07) Bio-Coll Collagen Wound Dressing Bio-Coll collagen films are made from calf small intestine tissues. When used as wound dressings, these films can promote the growth and self-assembly of skin cells These collagen films can cling quickly to wounded areas and form a protective layer to prevent infection. They can also help alleviate pain and reduce suppuration instantly. This product is suitable for use in all sorts of skin injuries, from full-thickness wounds, open wounds and wounds left behind from surgeries to bedsores, pressure ulcers, scalds and first to third degree burns.
