The nominating institution Leibniz Universität Hannover on the breakthrough: Current patient-specific simulation workflows based on CT or MRI rely on the intervention of specially trained analysts. The associated cost and response times, however, are incompatible with tight budgets and urgent decision-making in clinical practice. This project re-thinks accurate physiology-based computational…

Tom Bieling and his team at the Design Research Lab developed a communication technology for deaf-blind people, through which they can interact with anyone at any time. The Lorm Hand is an installation, which connects deaf-blind people with X or other social networks. Using touch sensory technology, the Lorm Hand…

Given the limitations of existing tools in collecting a sample of microbiota from the gut, Muhammad Rehan came up with the idea of developing a robotic capsule, a game-changer in gut health analysis.
