Custom manufacturing software developed to ensure the unique hexadecimal identifier programmed within a PCB's integrated circuit matches the serial number laser-marked onto the physical board. Developed for electronics used in an Apple Find My–approved product, integrating software, electronic identification and precision manufacturing.
Explore technology →
Developing an intelligent hospital navigation and patient assistance platform combining advanced 3D mapping, visual positioning and AI. Designed to help patients reach appointments confidently, reduce missed appointments and improve healthcare efficiency — without reliance on GPS or hospital Wi-Fi positioning infrastructure.

A smart checkout divider concept with an integrated display, designed to keep customer orders separated while presenting recipes, promotions and contextual content at the point of purchase.
Explore prototype →
An innovative toilet cistern system developed to tackle a long-standing household problem: condensation forming on the outside of the cistern. Unlike conventional approaches that attempt to manage or reduce condensation, this design aims to eliminate the problem at its source, helping protect homes from damp, water damage and costly repairs.

Specialist software developed to turn natural-language conversations about an invention into structured technical documentation and draft patent application materials. The system is designed to help inventors organise their ideas, prepare a bespoke documentation pack and investigate potentially relevant existing inventions as their project develops.
Explore software →
An innovative approach to controlling persistent and unwanted vegetation, including brambles, Japanese knotweed and ivy. Developed to explore more precise treatment of individual plants, with the aim of reducing unnecessary exposure of surrounding vegetation and providing an alternative to conventional broad-area spraying.
Explore project →
Exploring a new approach to detecting exceptionally small movements, vibrations and tremors using proprietary sensing technology. Early comparative experiments have demonstrated sensitivity to subtle movement that conventional accelerometer and gyroscope measurements struggled to distinguish under the same test conditions. The technology is being developed with potential applications in wearable monitoring, neurological research and advanced motion analysis.
