The winning team of “innoMMT” (innovative, mobile, modular telemedicine) around Lena Ehrenpreis, Fabian Meyer and Christiane Schüle
has developed a mobile hand-held breath test device at the ENT Clinic of the University Hospital Düsseldorf, which can be used for
various diseases such as asthma, lactose intolerance or carbon monoxide poisoning for immediate diagnostics in clinics or doctor's
practices thanks to the “Plug & Pust” approach.

With the Valvofon, the founding team consisting of Elric Zweck and PD Dr. med. Ralf Westenfeld presented a small phonocardiography
device with built-in microphone and innovative algorithm. It complements the classic stethoscope in the detection of relevant and
treatment-worthy heart valve diseases. The Valvofon is clearly superior to the hearing ability of the human ear and increases the
diagnostic accuracy significantly.

The founding team Bioneers, consisting of Lucia Donath, Dennis Teutenberg and Victoria Bartholomai, is revolutionizing the farming of freshwater crayfish using an innovative and novel aquaculture method. 

The winning team impressed with the production of a complex fertilizer using microorganisms. With its help, industrial companies should be able to reduce emissions and waste by recycling waste heat, CO2, phosphate-containing wastewater and liquid manure in production.

The research team: Dr. Nicolas Schmelling, Lutz Berwanger, Maximilian Dietsch
