An advanced technology facility is set to be established in Brisbane to produce micro-wearable sensors that can monitor diseases and other health conditions.
The facility is a first-of-its-kind, and part of a $30million partnership funded by the Australian National University, the Queensland government and the Australian National Fabrication Facility.
The sticker-like sensors can provide real-time monitoring and accurate reports on a patients health for timely medical care.

Queensland-based medtech firm WearOptimo will begin mass production of its microwearable sensor technology, following a AU$30 million partnership deal with the Queensland government, the Australian National University (ANU), and the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) to establish its own manufacturing facility.
The microwearable sensors feature an adhesive patch embedded with electronic sensors to detect small changes in biomarkers to monitor and report a patient s health in real time when worn on the skin of a patient, such as on the wrist.
WearOptimo touts it has the potential to replace the need for frequent blood tests, and assist with early diagnosis of life-threatening medical conditions such as heart attacks or sense inflammatory markers.
WearOptimo’s life-saving Microwearable sensor technology heads into production, with $30 million deal.
A revolutionary healthcare technology with potential to save millions of lives globally is poised to enter mass-production following the announcement of a $30 million deal in Australia.
The project will fund an advanced technology facility in Brisbane, Australia – a critical step to WearOptimo making and distributing its Microwearable
TM sensor health technology worldwide.
WearOptimo’s inexpensive, pain-free wearable devices can give patients and their doctors early warning of life-threatening events such as heart attacks, heat stroke and other conditions. They represent a breakthrough in personalised medicine.

Waste cooking oil, sulfur and wool offcuts have been put to good use by green chemists at Flinders University to produce a sustainable new kind of housing insulation material.
The latest environmentally friendly building product from experts at the Flinders Chalker Lab and colleagues at Deakin and Liverpool University, has been described in a new paper published in Chemistry Europe ahead of Global Recycling Day (18 March 2021)
The insulating composite was made from the sustainable building blocks of wool fires, sulfur, and canola oil to produce a promising new model for next-generation insulation - not only capitalising on wool s natural low flammability but also to make significant energy savings for property owners and tenants.
