IdeaMater Lumen

Mater Lumen is a wearable smart cuff paired with a predictive AI platform. Essentially, mater lumen includes an upper-arm cuff that continuously monitors blood pressure, alongside heart rate and heart rate variability using optical sensors. We also integrate a microneedle patch, similar to continuous glucose monitoring technology, to track cortisol, which is the body’s primary stress signal. All of this data is processed through our AI model, specifically a gradient-boosted model, XGBoost, which builds a personalised baseline for each patient and tracks how their condition evolves. This means that Materlumen is predictive rather than reactive, unlike the current solutions for preeclampsia.

My expertise lies at the junction of medicine and problem-solving. I have a strong academic foundation in biology, especially immunology, which has shaped my understanding of medicine and the biological concepts included in Mater Lumen. I can support other organisations by identifying patterns and connections in seemingly unrelated topics. I enjoy problem-solving and challenging concepts and ideas to reach the full picture.
