Development of a digital e-health application by a combination of enterprise / engineering / science / medicine, specifically targeted to people with joint problems and arthritis. Osteoarthritis, belonging to the chronic diseases, is the world’s most common joint disease and one of the four diseases with the biggest negative impact

Every year, 150,000 Swedes are affected by heart disease and approximately 10% of these die of their disease. Health care has evolved rapidly to meet these diseases, and cardiac surgery represents an important part of the treatment. The disadvantage of surgery is that it is a major operation with a

Women-specific diseases are a relatively underdeveloped area in medicine and vaginal infections are very large and partially hidden problems where there is currently no effective treatment. This new, effective treatment against both fungal and bacterial genital infections will lead to both reduced suffering and economic gains.

Development of a unique system for handling particles, particularly in living cells, by ultrasonic waves in flow systems, so-called akustofluidik, which mainly applies to biomedical research and diagnostics. The project has two specific goals; an instrument and user applications for this.

A large number of surgical procedures are carried out in health care where tissue/organ is opened and then sealed. The most common sealing method is suturing with needle and thread where the needle is held with a surgical instrument, a needle holder. Existing needle holders are not optimal for two

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that obligates the tracing of the contagion which is transmittable among both children and adults. Quick detection of the disease, including forms which are resistant to one or more major antibiotics, is essential for the proper management and efficient tracing of the contagion. The primary

Numerous tests are conducted in hospitals based on cell analysis. It may be counting blood cells to assess a patient’s general condition, or examining blood samples from cancer patients to monitor the presence of tumour cells, which indicates that a tumour has metastasized. I want to develop and apply a

Prostate cancer is a very common form of cancer in the western world, where prevalence in Sweden is among the highest in the world. In order to make a diagnosis biopsies of the prostate are required. The main objective of the project is to reduce the number of infections associated

This project aims to develop a revolutionary in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier to allow studies of active transport mechanisms in the brain, without having to resort to animal testing to the same extent as today. In this project the aim is to evaluate the hypothesis of the importance

Cardiolund Research is a small software company based in Lund. We develop specialised algorithms for analysing the electrical activity in the heart, ECG signals. Our software reduces the physical strain associated with screening for the critical heart condition “atrial fibrillation” by almost 90%, making broad screening initiatives feasible. This reduces
