The main objective of the system developed by Alogo, BucéphaleCONCEPT, is to provide novel information and statistics for the indoor and outdoor show-jumping competitions. The innovation is an automatic video-based tracking system that doesn’t require any sensors, and is non-intrusive for the riders and horses.
hemoTUNE is developping a revolutionary therapeutic blood purification platform. Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles applied in a dialysis-like circuit allow specific removal of disease-related compounds directly from a patient's blood in an efficient and mild way.
MaxWell BioSystems provides the most advanced electrophysiology instrumentation for high-throughput cell assays to accelerate drug discovery and advance basic research. Their toolset, consisting of an integrated sensor chip, acquisition hardware and software, can be applied in personalized medicine, e.g. using patient stem cell derived neurons for preclinical drug discovery.
Many teachers are stressed and feeling overwhelmed. They would like to provide great lessons for their students, but simply don't have enough time to prepare. Taskbase helps teachers, by providing a large pool of crowd sourced learning content, adaptable to a teacher's style, findable by smart search-algorithms. This, together with assessment functionality, saves teachers a lot of time, while providing a more engaging experience for students.
