Flow by Oliver Harper

"Flow is a portable irrigation system and service for ostomates (people who have had stoma surgery).

"It empowers ostomates with a greater sense of control and freedom whilst eliminating the need for a colostomy bag.

"Currently, ostomates spend up to an hour each morning in the bathroom irrigating their stoma.

"This is a critical procedure for living without a colostomy bag and avoiding leaks.

"Flow eliminates the need to do this through its use of an integrated pump, heating pad and reservoir, cleverly contained within a comfortable belt."

"Using a 'dip and dunk' approach, the product allows for daylight loading of film into the top system, where it is then taken through pre-setup tanks to develop and dry before exiting back out the top of the system.

"The design includes intelligent monitoring of chemistry concentration and water levels as well as solution temperatures."

Motolink by Saam Fakhim

"Motolink is a fold-away keyless motorcycle security system that anchors and alarms any motorcycle on any road surface whilst providing a digital service that recommends safer parking areas.

"The developed concept uniquely combines anti-angle grinder materials with practical design, featuring a specially engineered shackle that fits snugly over the rear of most motorcycle tyres, allowing it to be anchored securely in place.

"It then uses an innovative vacuum suction to anchor it to porous road surfaces."
