Fi-Sci Limited
These roles have now been filled.
Fi-Sci Limited initially formed to undertake consultancy for those who sought to identify, and evaluate fibre, yarn, fabric, and product variables of importance in product development. With the subsequent closure of Clothing and Textile Sciences at the University of Otago, Fi-Sci Ltd evolved into a vehicle for the continuation of a product development collaboration among researchers and a PhD candidate at the University of Otago (Ao NZ), a dermatologist (SYD, Australia), and a highly skilled commercial knitter (AKL, AoNZ).
Today Fi-Sci Ltd continues to support science informed product development and is aiming to bring a new science informed health tech product to the marketplace. Interest in this work reflects the increasing numbers of individuals living with the discomfort and distress associated skin conditions.
The outcome of our product development will be of initial interest to the parents of the 39% of infants and 1:3 children who develop eczema (EAA, 2025). Ultimately customers will be those engaged in both health care treatment prescription and those members of the general population undertaking on-going treatment at home.

This role has been filled
VillageWise is a Dunedin based social impact start up developing MidStream, a digital platform that helps families navigate disability, health and support services more easily. MidStream is currently at early prototype/MVP development stage. We are testing and consistently co-designing the tool with families in Ōtepoti, including Māori, Pacific and other families, to improve the look, feel, usability and practical value of the platform.
The purpose of MidStream is to reduce the emotional and administrative burden on families by helping them organise their story, identify support needs, prepare information for services, and share relevant information securely with the agencies they choose.
VillageWise is unique because the platform is being developed from lived experience, community sector practice, systems thinking and direct testing with families. Rather than being a case management tool, MidStream sits closer to the family and supports better coordination across agencies. Our users include disabled people, families, carers and potentially agencies involved in disability, health, social services and Whānau Ora navigation.
