LightUp
A pill-sized camera that drastically improves esophageal cancer screening. Each year, 600,000 people are diagnosed with esophageal cancer and 75% die within 5 years after receiving this diagnosis. Screening with conventional endoscopy is offered to people with Barrett’s esophagus, a disease linked to a higher cancer risk, but it misses 25% of early cancer and […]
Madglove
Madglove delivers an accessible home-based rehabilitation solution to counteract the effects of hand spasticity around the world. Spasticity, one of the most common effects of stroke makes it very difficult for individuals to use their hands. Madglove designed a smart, easy to use glove to help them overcome it. By improving their handfunction, they increase […]
MedAI
AI-powered triage application. Crafting an AI-powered triage application designed to revolutionize initial patient assessments in healthcare. By harnessing the capabilities of advanced artificial intelligence, our project aims to mitigate excessive wait times and streamline the diagnostic process, enabling doctors and nurses to prioritize care with unprecedented efficiency. Our application leverages OpenAI’s sophisticated language models to […]
My Energy
Products for Daily Life energy. Human bodies need energy in more precise and healthy ways in the current VUCA World. Most of the products available in the market are missing some key needs which will be addressed by this project
Nano Hybrids
Nano Hybrids aims at solving the synthesis of hybrid core-shell nanoparticles to unlock their potential. After more than 30 years of research, the potential of nanoparticles for applications with high technological and societal impact is widely agreed upon. But, production methods remain a bottleneck for their wide deployment into broader markets. Nano Hybrids is developing […]
Optical DOSY
An optical probe that characterizes molecular structure and size We have designed and are currently optimizing an optical liquid sample cell that simultaneously measures the size and IR/UV/Raman spectrum of molecules/particles in solution: Optical Diffusion-Ordered SpectroscopY. In the case of mixed samples, the optical spectra of the different components are cleanly separated by size. This […]
