Founded in 2016, UK-based Atlasbiomed is the first company to offer both DNA and Microbiome testing kits for use at home. Both tests feed into an online platform, which allows consumers to take control of their health through actionable, precise and personalised lifestyle recommendations.

Bulgarian scale-up Checkpoint Cardio combines advanced medical devices with software in order to follow a patient’s vital parameters in real time.

It is one of the most avant-garde telemedicine systems for the transmission and monitoring of reliable medical data in real time.

Based in Italy and France, Nively developed MentorAge®, an intelligent monitoring system for senior citizens in healthcare institutions. MentorAge® can detect dangerous situations such as falls, nocturnal wandering, if someone rises from the bed (e.g. in the case of persons unable to walk unassisted), a person who enters a location and does not exit after a given time.

This solution enables nursing homes or similar facilities, to optimize the cost of staff while offering a premium service. MentorAge® allows monitoring people with diseases like Alzheimer, or people who lose their bearings due to common digression of memory when ageing.

German scale-up Sonormed helps you treat tinnitus with your favourite music. Sonormed’s app Tinnitracks allows you to filter your music in order to use it for a new tinnitus therapy that is endorsed by the latest neuroscientific findings. Tinnitracks indicates precisely which song provides high therapeutic potential thanks to the individual analysis of every single file.

Listening to filtered music sustainably allays the abnormally active tinnitus-cells, as approved in clinical studies. Your precisely measured tinnitus frequency is the basis for the therapy. The app is available via web, Android and iOS app.
