A critical conversation with Planet Hope

Cardiovascular disease is the biggest killer on the planet, claiming more than 30 million lives annually. It’s a horrifying statistic. One made even more so when you consider that all too often – especially with heart attacks – treatment could be as simple as taking an aspirin. If only the victim had more time to act.

No sweat as WearOptimo and Aspen Medical reach another milestone

Healthtech innovator WearOptimo and leading healthcare provider Aspen Medical have reached another significant milestone in the commercialisation of ground-breaking microwearable hydration sensors.

Aspen Medical has shown its further confidence in WearOptimo by following up its multi-million-dollar investment with the finalisation of a Strategic Collaboration Agreement and Distribution Framework Agreement.

Clinical trials get the green light

Human trials of a microwearable sensor for the detection of dangerous dehydration levels are set to begin after the latest successful fundraising round for HealthTech firm WearOptimo. The $5 million boost will enable the company to progress its game-changing hydration monitor, through clinical trials at QUT.
