Real-time GPS tracking means a care consultant is able to accurately locate the wearer and direct responders to the precise location.While the watch is designed primarily for dementia patients, it also supports other applications such as community nurses, remote workers and retirees in rural and regional and areas. Designed in close collaboration with clinicians, carers and call centre operators, it is built to assist and look after the patient, but with the carer in mind.

On 6 July 2012, the Minister for Industry and Innovation, the Hon Greg Combet AM MP, launched the Clean Technology Innovation program.The $200 million Clean Technology Innovation Program is a competitive, merit-based grants program that will support applied research and development, proof of concept and early stage commercialisation activities that lead to the development of new clean technologies and associated services including low emission and energy efficient solutions, that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The program will provide grants between $50,000 and $5 million on a co-investment basis of one dollar of government funding for each one dollar of the applicant’s investment.Update 28 August 2013: The Australian Government, as part of the commitment to deliver savings by abolishing the Carbon Tax, announced its intention to discontinue funding for the Clean Technology Program which it expects will generate $0.4 billion in budgetary savings. This includes the three program components: the Clean Technology Investment Program, the Clean Technology Food and Foundries Investment Program, and the Clean Technology Innovation Program (Media Release: Our Plan to get the Budget under Control, 28 August 2013).

Peak3 is a Queensland-based company focused on the reduction and monitoring of emissions in mines: the primary focus is on nano and ultrafine particulates from diesel engines, however dust and other emissions both in mines and other industrial/above ground settings are secondary targets. The company has developed emissions reduction hardware (Particulate Reduction Technology – PRT) and emissions monitoring software and processes. The market need for these solutions is driven by both an immediate regulatory requirement and a bottom line economic driver i.e. the need to reduce operating and maintenance costs in mines. Peak3 is targeting installation of their systems on a number of draglines and underground loaders by EOY 2012. OneVentures' investment in Peak3 is the company's first in the Clean Technology space presenting an exciting opportunity to support a company that addresses pressing and environmental and health concerns. OneVentures will work with Peak3 to finalise product development, complete first commercial trials and develop and exploit markets, initially in the mining industry.
