ANDREA is about drone routing algorithms supporting a nationwide transport user - the National Health Service. The project identifies the most optimal manner within which an NHS Foundation Trust may deploy drones to collect medical samples from NHS "touchpoints". Drones can operate in most weather situations and slowly the UK Civil Aviation Authority are ...

Lift Off is a project to support the activities of Digital & Future Technologies Limited, post the successful culmination of the Morecambe Bay Medical Shuttle project - MBMS2\. MBMS2 worked to establish the business model and technical requirements for flying drones across Morecambe Bay between the hospitals of Furness General (Barrow), Westmorland (Kenda...

Our vision for the Electric Airshows project is to provide a significant technical differentiator for the company, whilst also providing a new revenue stream and a new immersive media type for the creative sector. The key objectives for the project are to: * Identify existing IP in the focus area and secure new IP where possible * Undertake the developmen...

The CCRATE project takes the results of the company's long running physiological signal AI programme and develops a consumer health system for the establishment of continuous Blood Pressure analysis. The project uses new advances in AI to generate a Blood Pressure reading every 10 beats of the subject's heart without the need for an inflatable cuff. For t...

The vision for the Morecambe Bay Medical Shuttle project is to demonstrate how, through new forms of transportation, the pathology services of three hospitals may be optimised. We aim to fly Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) as a shuttle between Lancaster Royal Infirmary, Furness General Hospital and Westmoreland General, delivering pathology sampl...

APEC is a Machine Learning Project using Artificial Intelligence to probe the world of ECG signals. We use the power of Google's Deepmind to probe, analyse and pattern match almost 100,000 publicly accessible ECG signals. The aims of APEC are to establish if there are hidden bio-markers within the ECG signals that can help us understand the cardiovascular...

The APLAUSE project focuses on the emerging UAV drone delivery market. The project looks to build on our engineering works to support Unmanned Air Vehicles during the COVID-19 pandemic for the NHS. We have been working with the NHS, flying UAV's carrying COVID-19 samples, PPE and other biological agents between pathology labs and hospitals. APLAUSE takes ...

Unmanned Air Vehicles (drones) offer a huge opportunity to add a new layer to every country's established transport infrastructure by providing delivery and transport services directly to the customer, amongst many other applications. This relieves pressure on road networks, which are already at full capacity in most urban areas. The implementation of suc...

ARRROWS, we believe, is a first. ARRROWS takes the best in road based route planning and combines this with optimised drone route planning to provide a multi-modal transport optimisation system designed to load balance the testing of COVID-19 samples across a target NHS Trust. Currently within our NHS partner COVID-19 samples are sent for testing at a ran...

Open Data provides an opportunity to establish new forms of temporary power systems control. Working with an external expert, Digital & Future Technologies, aim to understand the cloud based opportunities for the monitoring of external temporary power equipment, both from an operational point of view, through to an adverse event warning system, and provid...

Power generation for temporary situations is normally reliant on high output diesel generators. In recent years the push to produce more energy efficient ancillary equipment, such as LED lighting, has reduceed the demand on the larger diesel generator sets. This project looks to provide wireless remote control of small format gas powered generators, such ...
