Financial support for the implementation will be given
to projects for the development of a household biocultivator of highly
nourishing microalgae with an adaptive life-support system, electro- and
ultrasound growth stimulation, and also for creation of personalized
rehabilitation simulator using artificial nylon muscles to restore the motor
function of the hand.
Among the winning projects – is the development of a
unique device for the blood clotting time express analysis. Earlier, RIA Tomsk
reported that the author of the project – TPU undergraduate Yulia Sytnik -
creates an installation which will allow to monitor clotting during surgical
operations.
According to her, existing devices do not allow to
monitor the clotting time promptly, since they first need to separate the blood
in the centrifuge into plasma and formed elements. At the TPU Research School
of Chemistry & Applied Biomedical Sciences the project team assembled a
laboratory installation, and at Siberian State Medical University (SSMU)
conducted all necessary tests.
The grant of the Foundation for Assistance to Small
Innovative Enterprises (FASIE) "UMNIK-2018" program is 500 thousand.
Within two years, Sytnik with colleagues will assemble a compact device on the
model of the created installation.
