COSMOTECH

DM01 race wheelchair

The first of its kind carbon fiber running wheelchair. Created with passion for activity without exclusions, dedicated to the unstoppable and the barrier breakers.

DM01 is a prototype of a race wheelchair for the so-called Dual Marathon, a sport in which a wheelchair with a person unable to actively participate is pushed by a running team member. DM01 wheelchair is one of the few on the market that is made of carbon composite. Its weight was reduced while improving safety, convenience of use and giving the structure a unique look. Thanks to the use of 3D printed tools, the production time of the prototype – from conceptual drawing to assembly – took merely 3.5 months.

The performance achieved during training is approx. 35% better than in case of a previous wheelchair, what is undoubtedly the result of the DM01’s features – a lowered center of gravity, a stabilizing front wheel and lightness obtained thanks to the use of carbon fibre.

Since 2014 the Cosmotech start-up focuses on augmented techniques of carbon fiber components prototyping. Primarily these are prototypes of personal mobility devices and wheelchairs, that require both extreme durability and lowest mass possible.

StethoMe

StethoMe – a home stethoscope that uses artificial intelligence algorithms

StethoMe is a medical device – an electronic stethoscope that uses artificial intelligence algorithms to control the health of the respiratory system. To perform the test, one needs to simply place the device at the points indicated on the screen of the phone or tablet. Thanks to special algorithms, an electronic stethoscope signals the appearance of abnormal auscultatory sounds. The recordings create a medical history and can be sent to a doctor of choice at any time for remote consultation.

The idea to create the device comes from the co-founders of StethoMe – Honorata Hafke-Dys Ph.D. and Jędrzej Kociński Ph.D. Two scientists, but also parents who struggled with frequent infections of their children's respiratory system, came up with the idea of creating a stethoscope that can be used at home. The commercialisation of auscultatory sound research, which the academics worked on, and the creation of the device itself was possible in cooperation with Wojciech Radomski, Paweł Elbanowski and Marcin Szajk – IT engineers working at the Poznań-based technology start-up.

The device supports the diagnosis of respiratory diseases, and also enables precise monitoring of chronic diseases, observation of treatment progress and response to administered drugs. Both the stethoscope and the artificial intelligence algorithms were presented with a 2a medical certificate that is awarded to medical devices in the European Union. The certification of AI algorithms for detecting abnormalities in the children's respiratory system is the first of its kind in the world.

Currently, the Stethome start-up team is working on the development of AI algorithms for detecting abnormalities in the respiratory system in adults and AI algorithms for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Algorithms are able to detect pathological sounds with more than medical accuracy, which increases diagnostic efficiency.

AioCare

year: 2015

organisation: Healthup

AioCare system

The respiratory disease management system AioCare has altered the paradigm of pulmonary disease treatment.

Welcomed enthusiastically in the everyday treatment of asthma and COPD by patients and doctors alike, it is also being used by the pharmaceutical industry in COPD clinical trials and screening tests as well as for increasingly popular telemedicine services. AioCare enables data analysis and allows the creation of algorithms to prevent the exacerbation of the disease.

The AioCare system consists of a portable spirometer connected to the phones of both doctor and patient via a dedicated smartphone app. It allows the doctor to run full spirometry tests. Thanks to the applied algorithms, the results are instantly available on the phone and in a computer panel.

AioCare can be used by patients at home to monitor their lungs’ parameters, while doctors can track the results and consult if needed, protecting their patients against the unexpected consequences of disease exacerbation. AioCare is an EU-certified class IIA medical device validated in a sample of 80 patients, which is already being used by more than 500 doctors in Europe.

SPARTAQS

Unmanned aerial platforms that can replace helicopters, airplanes and satellites

year of creation: 2014

producer: Spartaqs Sp. z o.o.

Drones are unmanned systems that can fly, swim, dive and even operate in space. Their widespread use began with military tasks, but today each of us can play with drones, making films or taking photos from the air. Their popularity is growing very quickly. They can be used not only as flying cameras, but also as sensors, automatic couriers and even flying taxis.

The BSP systems presented at the exhibition are dronoids – professional unmanned systems developed and manufactured by the Polish company Spartaqs from Mikołów in Silesia.

1. HSD ARES - Hybrid Sky Drone - Ares class dronoids, as the flagship products of the Spartaqs company, are the largest multirotor drones currently available on the domestic market. It is the first platform developed and constructed from the ground up in Poland. This platform is aimed to successfully carry out missions in extreme conditions, both within visual line of sight (VLOS) and beyond it (BVLOS).
2. Helidron - Electrically powered drone. It was created primarily to support water rescue services operations. Its purpose is to quickly track drowning people. The unmanned aerial vehicle can mark places on the water with the help of radiolocators or infrared markers. It can also carry medical loads and rescue equipment (self-inflating rafts). Thanks to the floats, the dronoid can take off and land on water. It is distinguished by its resistance to weather conditions and speed.

MUSICON EDU

A Polish designer’s project which teaches programming

creators: Kamil Laszuk, Ida Laszuk, Jakub Kozik

year of creation: 2018

producer: Musicon

A wooden musical instrument that works like a music box. It makes programming and playing music possible. It introduces the user to mathematics and logic, stimulates sensory, emotional, social and motor development and cultivates natural musical sensitivity. The activity affects sensorimotor integration, stimulates creativity, teaches logical thinking and develops the competences of the future.

Start to play. Press one of the buttons you can find on Musicon (there are 640 of them). Press next ones to compose a song. Then move the lever to activate the mechanism and instruments: bells, drum, dodo and organ grinder. Can you hear the music?

SKRIWARE

Skriware – educational ecosystem

year of creation: 2017

producer: Skriware Sp. z o.o.

Skriware, the educational ecosystem that develops the competences of the future Skriware is a system that helps develop STEAM skills through practical experience and a creative approach to problem solving. The ecosystem includes 3D printers, printed Skribots and an online platform with materials for teachers and students as well as a library of 3D models.

• 3D Skriware 2 printer

3D printing offers entirely new teaching opportunities to schools. It allows to create teaching aids and to carry out technical and artistic projects. How does the printer work? The heated tip of the head melts a special material (filament), and then, thanks to the engine system, arranges it in layers. This creates the designed object. And you, what will you print?

• Skribots – a robotic system that develops creativity

The modular Skribots system allows you to build multi-functional robots. Thanks to the imagination of young designers, Skribot can become a Martian rover, construction crane or musical instrument. Thanks to the online creator, users can independently design their Skribot and print its elements on a 3D printer.
