Why do our bodies decline as we grow old? Why does ageing cause disease? Can we slow aging or even reverse it? By tackling these questions, the UNSW School of Medical Sciences aims to develop medicines that may one day prevent and/or treat diseases of old age, with a single therapy.

Their ultimate goal is to allow people to live healthier, diseasefree lives.

Psykinetic founded by Biomedical Engineer Dr Jordan Nyugen, is re-imagining and re-defining the boundary between human and machine. One of their inventions is eye-controlled technology which allows the user to control devices with their eyes including computers, moving devices such as wheelchairs and more. Now Psykinetic is working on other eye-controlled devices such as an inclusive Appstore called StarGaze. They are also developing music, communication, games, and video streaming to be controlled by alternative interfaces to assist in improving independence for people with disability.

BindiMaps will be showcasing their new technology that augments the navigation experience of those who are visually impaired. A mobile app is used to locate users precisely in indoor spaces and employs a simple, natural-language audio system to describe where users are and what’s around them, along with the best way to get to their chosen destination.

BindiMaps does this using a network of Bluetooth beacons, a sophisticated mapping and route-guidance system, and smartphone sensors.
