Toxi Trail™ is an educational board game developed at Stellenbosch University to strengthen toxicology knowledge and clinical reasoning among healthcare professionals. Building on earlier game-based learning tools, the design incorporates realistic toxicology scenarios, variable difficulty levels

ImmerseCell is a virtual reality experience (VLE) to teach undergraduate and postgraduate students about key cellular structures with an interactive, narrated, guided experience (Figure 1, Figure 2). The team utilised real-world microscopy data of various key cellular structures in the mammalian

This technology makes it possible to grow tiny, three-dimensional (3D) pieces of human heart tissue, called cardiac spheroids. It models the functions of a real heart and recreates key features of cardiometabolic disease such as insulin resistance and high fat levels. What makes this technology a

A cadaver dissection table that consists of a long tray designed to hold a cadaver. The tray has openings for fluid drainage and an angled section at one end. The table also has ventilation holes angled toward the flat part of the tray where the cadaver rests. Below the tray is a long bath, and

This technology uses Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) fitted with a camera to calibrate heliostats in large Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) or Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST) tower systems. The UAV does not have a single fixed position and provides several advantages over traditional methods using

A computer implemented method, system or programme for combining a three-dimensional PET scan and a CT scan of a body into a combined image for segmentation, comprising of: Co-registering each of the PET scan and the CT scan as an input with reference to each other. Extracting metadata from the

The PureLite Reactor™ provides a highly efficient and customisable platform for various applications. Its energy-efficient LED light sources, advanced control systems, and versatile design give researchers precise control over photochemical reactions, making it a vital tool in environmental science

A method for inference based on multivariate message-based graph structures and not the well-known Tanner Graph structure. Tanner graphs are known to have poor convergence with variables greater than 1, to compensate LDPC codes are created to avoid this scenario. The invented method allows for

The Research Methods Index (RMI) is an intelligent matchmaking and assessment tool designed for the academic and research sectors. It predicts an individual’s research paradigm and philosophical stance - key factors that influence how research is conceptualised, designed, and interpreted. By

This Transformable Automated Robotic Workspace (TARWSTM) is a versatile, foldable, and tech-enabled work surface designed for both professional and educational environments. The system incorporates a wide range of features, including self-sanitisation, temperature monitoring, solar energy storage

ScholatSyn™ is a digital tool for supervising research and tracking progress, designed to support postgraduate students and their supervisors during the research process. Built using Office 365 and SharePoint and integrated into Microsoft Teams, ScholatSyn™ provides a unified, secure, and easy-to

South Africa's manufacturing sector, particularly in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and electronics, requires high-precision measurement tools. The proposed Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) addresses this need by offering enhanced accuracy and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional
