THE ROYAL ACADEMY of
Engineering’s 2020 This is
Engineering Day will celebrate
the engineers and engineering
shaping our everyday lives and the
world around us.
Working with EngineeringUK
and partners across the
profession, the initiative is
central to the Academy’s This
is Engineering campaign to give
more young people, from all
backgrounds, the opportunity to
take up engineering careers.
Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, chief
executive of the Royal Academy
of Engineering, said: “More than
150 engineering companies and
organisations across the UK
have so far pledged to help the
Academy to show a di erent,
diverse and surprising image of
the profession. We’re calling for
even more partners to join our
This is Engineering campaign
and celebrate This is Engineering
Day on 4 November 2020 as we
continue our work to transform
the image of engineering.”
‘Be the di erence’ is the
theme of the Day and engineering
companies, organisations and
individual engineers are all invited
to get involved and think of ways
in which they can showcase how
engineers make a di erence
– online, on social media or
via events and engagement
activities.
PGARTACPHH PATCH MENOEN WOUNDS
MONITORS
ITORS GRAPHENE FLAGSHIP
MEMBER Grapheal has developed
a wearable patch for the remote
monitoring of chronic wounds.
The exible and transparent
graphene-based biosensor
enables doctors and nurses
to provide hyper-responsive
treatment of chronic wounds.
Chronic wounds, mostly
associated with diabetes in
Europe, can take months or even
years to heal. In 20% of the cases,
the injury never heals and can
lead to limb amputation. There
was a 19.4% increase in limb
amputations during 2014-2017
compared to 2010-2013.
Connected to a
smartphone, Grapheal’s
wearable patch enables
continuous monitoring of
wounds. The patch measures and
stores the bio parameters of the
wound and communicates this
data to the cloud via the app. This
real-time connectivity ensures
nurses and doctors can be alerted
to early stages of infection and
other complications.
“Our patented formula uses
Graphene-on-polymer, in a noninvasive
way, to actively react
to any changes to the wound”,
explained Vincent Bouchiat,
Grapheal CEO. “As an atomically
thin material, graphene’s
electrode conductivity will
change according to any
physicochemical change,
enabling faster detection of
problems for patients.”
“The non-invasive nature of
the patch actively stimulates
wound healing — and we have
led eight preclinical studies
to prove its bio stimulation
properties.”
