In Pictures: Five projects vie for Telstra External Research and Development Program support

A six month judging process was involved to look for Australian research projects that can provide benefits to industry, business and consumers. Mobile mental health diagnostics, low cost tags for tracking cows and a high tech encrypter are among some of the entries. Here’s an overview of the five selected programs
LaTrobe University - Rehabilitation for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The rehabilitation system is designed to provide a supervised remote exercise regime where patients' responses are monitored and observed through video-link, with the potential to enable provision of this therapy wherever the patient may be located.

  • Neural Diagnostics - e-Mental Healthcare Delivery. It aims to diagnose a range of mental health issues.
  • Quantum Link Encryptor (QLE-1) is a second generation, un-tappable, quantum cryptography technology which could be deployed over commercial optic-fibre networks to enable ultra-secure, high-speed communications.
  • Taggle Systems, which is a small, low-cost, long-life tag which tracks the location and status (eg. temperature) of assets over the internet. There are many ways that taggles could be used by businesses, governments and consumers, including tracking and monitoring of pallets, tools and equipment, livestock, sporting goods or pets.
  • This project aims to develop an intelligent microphone device - the Microcone for use in group conversations. A small table-top unit, the Microcone is designed to pick up voices from multiple directions while reducing background noise. Currently in prototype, it will be suitable for meeting the teleconferencing needs of small to medium enterprises.

Mobile mental health diagnostics, low cost tags for tracking cows and a high tech encrypter are among five innovative projects to win support from the inaugural Telstra External Research and Development Program. A six month judging process was involved to look for Australian research projects that can provide benefits to industry, business and consumers.

“Australia was the birthplace of extraordinary innovations such as the black box flight recorder, the cochlear implant and solar hot water and at Telstra we want to help contribute to innovation through our new R&D program,” Telstra CTO Dr Hugh Bradlow said.

More than 220 submissions had been reviewed. Here’s an overview of the five selected programs.

Nominations for the 2012 ARN IT Industry Awards open on Tuesday, June 12.
