Human-Centered Clinical Testing: Ensuring usability through realistic human factors and clinical trials.
Comprehensive Quality Assurance: Utilising non-destructive testing (NDT) tools for reliability and precision.
Long-Term Monitoring Systems: Designing robust systems for continuous patient care.
Case Studies
IRS Sensor for Quality Assurance in India
iiCON is collaborating with LJMU, Care-India, EDCD, and DPHO-Nepal to pioneer the development of a portable handheld microwave (MW) sensor. This groundbreaking sensor aims to enhance the efficacy of insecticide indoor residual spraying (IRS) for the purpose of elimination of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Southeast Asia.
IRS Sensor for Quality Assurance in Africa
This iiCON project in collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University, IFAKARA Health Institute-Tanzania and AgaMal – Ghana represents a continuation of previous research conducted in India and Nepal and is funded by the Gates Foundation.
Lymphatic Filariasis Sensor
A transdermal MW sensor for the detection of lymphatic filariasis, developed by iiCON, Liverpool John Moores University, and AIIMS Patna India, is being funded by the Gates Foundation.
Military Uniform Quality Assurance
iiCON, in collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University and AFRIMS in Thailand, is developing a microwave sensor to assess the concentration of Etofenprox and Permethrin insecticides on military uniforms.
