Project Summary

UVD Robots

Throughout my career across various organizations, I've consistently led the development of complex medical, robotics, and IoT products. I have a strong track record of managing cross-functional teams (design, engineering) to deliver high-performance solutions. My experience spans the entire product lifecycle: from gathering initial business requirements and developing project strategies, to stakeholder management, prioritization, and budget control. I've successfully led projects through planning, implementation, and compliance certifications, ensuring a smooth transition to production scale-up.

The UVD Robot is an autonomous, flexible and module built disinfection robot. The robot uses high power UV-C light sources to deactivate harmful bacteria, fungi and pathogens that cause infection and illness.

The UVD Robot is equipped with UV-C light bulbs and comes with an exposure map that documents the Robot's movement. The UVD Robot reduces the microbial existence on surfaces by radiating germicidal UV-C light both while driving by and in pre-defined positions.

The UVD Robot is equipped with safety laser scanners and 3D cameras that recognize obstacles. It can be driven manually from a distance with a remote control mechanism implemented in the form of a tablet. By using the cameras the operator can navigate the robot via the tablet. The robot can make an exposure map for the operator to improve disinfection.

The autonomous drive system enables the operators to call the robot via its tablet and send it to the desired location. After the initial cleaning and manual disinfection of the hospital room has been conducted by a human attendant, the robot is sent in to disinfect. As a safety mechanism, the robot's sensors will detect if someone enters a room under disinfection, and stop the disinfection. After the disinfection, the robot signals via the tablet that the disinfection process has ended.

PTR Robots

PTR Robot is a 7-degree-of-freedom highly complex, five dimensions patient moving and handling robot. These five dimensions are the guiding principles for creating and developing the PTR robot. The robot can be used anywhere, for any purpose and patient, at any given time, by any caregiver. No other tool for either patient transfer, handling, moving, or rehabilitation has achieved this.

The PTR Robot is an IEC 60601 certified Class I medical device and it is also certified FCC and EN 301 489 series radio compliances.

PTR Robot can carry up to 250kg/551 lbs. Product Link

Photo Dynamic Therapy Laser

Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) Laser is a 635nm output laser equipment used for cancer treatment. The unit requires a high thermal loop for the pump wavelength to remain at 635nm with a delta lambda of less than 2nm. This is achieved by introducing a PWM-based TEC drive development. The unit can work in three modes of operation: Continuous, Pulse, and Burst. It comes with a resistive touch panel as a GUI interface, an SD card for temporarily storing images and patient information, and a PC utility for backing up patient information using USB.

Wireless and safety module for Wearables

This module can be placed inside women's jewelry for safety. It is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. In case of feeling unsafe, they can tap on the jewelry to trigger an emergency alert, which will notify their emergency contacts.
