OXFORD: Oxford BioSignals has won a global award for innovation at the Institution of Engineering and Technology's annual Innovation in Engineering Awards.
The company, a spin-out from Oxford University, won the information technology award for the creation of Biosign, a detector that enables medical staff to be alerted to a sudden deterioration in patients in intensive care.
The system uses the technique of sensor fusion' to detect problems long before conventional equipment can pick up on them.
IET chief executive Dr Alf Roberts said: "These awards recognise the vital role that innovation in engineering plays in the global economy.
"On behalf of the IET, I would like to congratulate all the winners who have displayed outstanding innovation in their respective categories."
