Oral Hygiene Kit for Special Patients and dynamic prosthetic feet for people with no legs are two examples of innovations developed by Thai researchers. was exhibited at the event.inventor’s day“(Thailand Inventors’ Day 2023), held for the 24th year
In the event, not onlyinnovation for the disablednot only but alsomedical inventions And in other fields, both domestically and internationally, more than 1,000 works were exhibited together.
Wiparat Di-ong, Director of the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), said that this year’s Inventor’s Day event was held under the concept of “Drive the economy and society with invention and innovation” It is considered a national stage that provides opportunities for Thai inventions. Has been released to the public in a wide range. It is also a forum for exchanging research experiences. and innovation between Thai inventors andinternational inventor
Krungthep Turakij has therefore raisedMedical innovations for patients with disabilities and innovations used in general patients as well as health platforms as follows
- Oral Hygiene Kit for Special Patients
The work of two dentists who care about oral hygiene of special patients. That can not take care of themselves, invented by Dr. Pornsawan Thanatornwong, lecturer of the Department of General Dentistry. Faculty of Dentistry Srinakharinwirot University and Dr. Praewpat Patchimsawat Lecturer, Department of Advanced General Dentistry Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University
Dr. Pornsawan said that nowadays, the world has entered an aging society. And when the elderly group is sick, they may not be able to take care of them.oral hygieneby yourself thoroughly And also suitable for all groups of people who are sick and unable to take care of themselves including young children in thePractice brushing your teeth.the right way
Which this kit is made from medical grade silicone, consisting of “Betta fish”, a device that helps to hold the mouth for a long time “Mirror inside the mouth” to hold the cheek or tongue and check the cleanliness within the mouth
“Tongue scraper” helps clean the soft tissues in the mouth. tongue and cheek area to remove food stains and sticky sputum There is an accessory that is a “handle” to extend the length with various pieces of equipment. in order to be able to gently clean the palate
Because the oral cavity is the organ that is the first line of entry into the body. If the caregiver neglects to clean this area, it will result in the inside of the mouth accumulating bacteria that accumulate. is a source of pathogens resulting in pneumonia This device will make it easier for caregivers.
- Dynamic prosthetic feet for people with no legs
This innovation was developed by Pairat Tangpraprasert. Lecturer, Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering Chulalongkorn University That has been certified by the ISO 17025 laboratory from Germany.
dynamic prosthetic foot Made from medical grade Carbon fiber, which is an imported raw material for molding production in Thailand. Flexible functionality design can press up and down Can turn left and right like a normal person’s feet
It also has the ability to store and release energy at the right time, allowing people with disabilities who use dynamic prostheses to perform activities for longer.able to walk or run on rough terrain improve the quality of life of people with disabilities
Prosthetic feet are affordable. have a long service life No need to change prosthetic feet frequently, maintenance is easy. Currently, this dynamic prosthetic foot has been designed to fit 11 different body weights for both men and women with disabilities.
- ATK K in conjunction with electrochemistry Non-labeled form for diagnosing COVID-19
The work of Sudkhet Chaiyo from the Research Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering. Chulalongkorn University ATK Electrochemical non-labeled form forDiagnose the COVID-19 virus has a lower cost priceATKGeneral (Cost price of ATK Electrochemical = 15 baht/piece)
This is due to the use of a single antibody and does not require labeling on biomolecules. But it still maintains high efficiency and sensitivity as a diagnostic test for COVID-19.
Testing for COVID-19 Using the developed electrochemical ATK, the nucleocapsid or N-protein of COVID-19 can be detected. was as low as 0.69 pg/ml and can detect antigens in quantity as well
The non-labelled electrochemical ATK was also applied to SWAT samples from real patients. The diagnostic sensitivity was 91.6 percent and the diagnostic specificity was 100 percent.
which is the value that passed the criteria of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Thailand for the COVID-19 antigen detection test kit
- A central platform for creating psychological therapy tools.
Invented by Konkon Wongkatikaseri Lecturer, Department of Computer Engineering Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University isMental health artificial intelligence chatbotIn drag & drop format with artificial intelligence models for analyzing emotions (Emotion) Conversation topics (Topic)
and invite people to chat with users (Chitchat) for mental health professionals to create chatbots tomental healthYou can do it yourself without any programming knowledge and no cost. Available on Line or Facebook
and also developed a Mental Health Dashboard, which is a display of user data that is billed for chatbot usage. to collect statistical data or policy planning Administrators can access both forms, websites andmobile applicationcan
Within the event, there wereinventionMany other things such as Finely ground floating weed killer for community agricultural use from EGAT, mobile egg yolk oil extraction machine. from the Department of Food Engineering Faculty of Science, Thonburi University and artificial meat without allergens by Rangsit University.
For those who are interested in attending the event The event will be held between 2-6 February 2023 from 09.00-17.00 at Event Hall 100-102, BITEC Bangna Exhibition and Convention Center.
