BROWSE PROJECTS
Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
PASTA
Status date: 08 April 2024
The world health organization has reported that 7.6% of patients in high-income countries acquire a healthcare-associated infection (HCAI). Recent studies show that more than 650,000 patients a year in England acquire HCAIs, which cost the NHS over £1 billion annually. Airborne transport is responsible for up to 10% of all HCAIs. The PASTA solution aims to improve indoor air quality and to minimise the risk of airborne pathogen infection in future hospital environments using low-temperature plasma technology that is oriented from in-situ resource unitisation in long-duration space missions and space propulsion (Pulsed plasma thruster). This new technology is designed to provide better infection control for airborne pathogens. It can also reduce the carbon footprint of hospitals by improving the energy efficiency of a traditional HVAC system.

VunaNexus
Status date: 27 November 2023
VunaNexus uses a patented technology to transform human and livestock urine into two valuable products: a fertiliser free of all dangerous pollutants and water that can be reused, this while drastically reducing ammonia emissions and water pollution.
DECISIONX:NETZERO
Status date: 13 March 2024
SATAVIA is reducing the climate impact of flying by mitigating the warming effect from the clouds aircraft make and enabling airlines to claim carbon credits as an incentive. Globally, aircraft contrails trap heat in the atmosphere and increase aviation’s climate impact by over 30%, contributing to global warming. From 2025 the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) will require airlines to report this impact.
SATAVIA’s technology provides atmospheric intelligence to change flight plans to avoid contrail-forming conditions. The mitigated climate impact is verified by SATAVIA and converted into tradable units by a patented method with the backing of Gold Standard, a major carbon accreditation platform.

LUCI
Status date: 22 September 2022
Project LUCI aims to assess land use around railway infrastructure and detect changes that could be hazardous to the safe running of the railway. The project aims to give trackside managers crucial information to enhance the decision making process and ultimately make the railways a safer place to work and travel.
SNA
Status date: 04 August 2023
The Smart Nurse Assistant project introduces an innovative solution to automate repetitive tasks in
healthcare. It will provide an unmanned medical equipment delivery robot service to effectively lower the
pressure on the nurses and other healthcare personnel by taking over some of the time-consuming tasks of
delivering items and equipment between hospital departments, nursing homes and similar healthcare
institutions.
EO Diagnostics
Status date: 04 March 2024
In this transformative project AI-driven diagnostics, and Earth Observation (EO) data are bridged to
revolutionize patient care and early disease prediction. AI, fueled by satellite data, enables early disease
prediction by analyzing environmental factors such as UV exposure and dust concentrations. This approach
extends beyond traditional healthcare, addressing global health and environmental challenges.
AROBS AlertBox
Status date: 04 March 2024
AROBS AlertBox aims to offer access to E-alert messages and 112 emergency service, in environments that lack reliable GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication). This product is an emergency alert box that connects, via the Iridium global satellite constellation system, , to the national emergency response systems in critical situations when communication channels are compromised.
ORCAS
Status date: 01 March 2024
