Problem
Lack of drinking water
Solution
GEN is a water-from-air device utilising innovative water purification technology . This process involves sediment filtration , mineralization , activated carbon filtering , and a microbiological treatment system . The unit draws in air , cools it to extract water , and then purifies the resulting condensate into clean drinking water .
The device is available in various sizes to suit different needs . From portable units suitable for worksites and homes to larger , mobile models for public spaces and residential complexes , and even industrial-scale units for water production farms , GEN offers a flexible solution .
By addressing the global water scarcity crisis , GEN helps mitigate associated health , social , and environmental challenges , including poor water sanitation and plastic pollution .
Problem
High workload and shortage of qualified surgeons , especially in remote areas
Solution
The laparoscopic surgery robot Toumai is a minimally invasive medical device equipped with force-sensing technology . It enables surgeons to perform operations remotely via teleoperation , simplifying procedures and reducing operating time . Toumai ’ s imaging system offers 10x optical magnification with high-definition , glasses-free 3D visualisation , enhancing precision .
Toumai ' s surgical arm stabilises surgeon tremor and provides instrument articulation surpassing human capabilities . This maximises surgeon skills , facilitating complex procedures while improving safety and enabling precise identification and dissection . Technical support and training programmes offered by the manufacturer empower medical institutions to establish robotic surgery teams , elevating local diagnostic , treatment and overall healthcare standards .
