Eddy Lite
Economical and easy use of eddy current based testing of carbon fiber composite and metals Eddy Lite provides economical and easy use of eddy current techniques to test materials and structures exploiting novel developments in integrated sensors and robotic scanning. The focus is on Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) used in strong lightweight structures found in […]
Firefly Quantum
Firefly Quantum is making optical circuits as easy as electonic circuits. In electronics the printed circuit board provides a low-cost, high-performance route to market for custom circuit designs. This essential link between breadboards and integrated circuits is missing for optics. The way optical circuits are built hasn’t significantly changed in 50 years. Students, researchers and […]
Flowsure
Flowsure develops an automated urine production monitor that improves patient safety while reducing nursing workload. Patients are monitored by checking vital parameters including the continuous urine output. Today’s manual registration of urine output is too labor intensive, resulting in critical patient information not being available to ensure their safety. Flowsure automates urine output registration by […]
ImRheo
ImRheo provides a new technique to measure the mechanical properties of soft materials, based on image processing and artificial intelligence. ImRheo’s goal is to develop a cheaper and simpler rheometer, which can be used for applications in food (foams, emulsions, colloids, etc.), cosmetics (gels, creams, foams, etc.), constructions engineering (concrete), petroleum (waxy oil), coating (paints), […]
Madglove
Madglove delivers an accessible home-based rehabilitation solution to counteract the effects of hand spasticity around the world. Spasticity, one of the most common effects of stroke makes it very difficult for individuals to use their hands. Madglove designed a smart, easy to use glove to help them overcome it. By improving their handfunction, they increase […]
Nano Hybrids
Nano Hybrids aims at solving the synthesis of hybrid core-shell nanoparticles to unlock their potential. After more than 30 years of research, the potential of nanoparticles for applications with high technological and societal impact is widely agreed upon. But, production methods remain a bottleneck for their wide deployment into broader markets. Nano Hybrids is developing […]
Pulse Racing
Wij zijn PULSE Racing, een van de dreamteams van de VU, en zetten ons in om functionele elektrostimulatie (FES) voor mensen met een dwarslaesie verder door te ontwikkelen. Met behulp van FES kunnen ook deze patiënten hun beenspieren blijven gebruiken. En dat biedt voordelen voor zowel hun mentale- als fysieke gezondheid.
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 […]
