For example, NutriPhone, a point-of-care diagnostic for assessment of nutritional status. Breakthrough in cancer treatment: with engineering, big data, medical and pharmaceutical expertise. For example, a leukemia treatment by weaponizing a patient’s own blood via re-engineered cells to combat the cancer cells. The patient has now been cancer-free for seven years. This breakthrough technology has led to curing thousands of people with cancer. Air quality monitoring system: using internet of things and machine learning for real-time monitoring and emergency response to crisis.
