AI application for tailored feedback on how to improve speech. ReadLer is an AI-powered digital assistant focused on children with language and speech disabilities. The application gives detailed feedback on how to improve speech and pronunciation. It can be used as both complementary and independently from language therapy. The ReadLer AI application will give tailored […]
Respira
Breath sensors for pre-symptomatic disease detection Over the past few years, traffic incidents caused by drivers that are under the influence of laughing gas have increased more than ten-fold. Unlike for alcohol and drugs, there is currently no device available that can prove a driver was under the influence of laughing gas. We are developing […]
SanguisAI
At SanguisAI, we are developing a device to measure hemoglobin levels in a fast, inexpensive, painless and waste free manner. This way we can ensure preventative screening and ongoing monitoring and complementing the reactive diagnostic process. We draw on the technique called PPG, which uses the body’s cardiac rhythm and the reflection of the light […]
