Mater Lumen is a wearable smart cuff paired with a predictive AI platform. Essentially, mater lumen includes an upper-arm cuff that continuously monitors blood pressure, alongside heart rate and heart rate variability using optical sensors. We also integrate a microneedle patch, similar to continuous glucose monitoring technology, to track cortisol, which is the body’s primary stress signal. All of this data is processed through our AI model, specifically a gradient-boosted model, XGBoost, which builds a personalised baseline for each patient and tracks how their condition evolves. This means that Materlumen is predictive rather than reactive, unlike the current solutions for preeclampsia.

The Algae-Brace: A Compostable Future for Orthopedic Bracing

The Algae-Brace is a patient-specific, fully compostable orthopedic brace designed to address an overlooked waste problem in healthcare. Every year, large volumes of single-use plastic braces are incinerated as biohazardous waste, contributing to a significant carbon footprint that has received limited regulatory or commercial attention relative to its scale. Our solution is built around a bionanocomposite of medical-grade PLA, micronized algae, and cellulose nanofibrils. Each material has a defined functional role: PLA provides the compostable structural matrix, algae contributes natural antimicrobial activity at the skin interface, and cellulose nanofibrils overcome PLA brittleness to enable AI-optimised lattice geometries. The brace is produced on demand at the point of care, eliminating warehousing and global logistics, and at end of use it composts rather than enters the biohazardous waste stream. Commercially, we propose a B2B subscription model where clinics lease the printing hardware and purchase pellet consumables on a per-brace basis, creating a recurring revenue structure that scales with procedure volume. The project addresses UN Sustainable Development Goals 3, 11, and 12, and is aligned with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, 2024).

Smallholder farmers in West Africa face grueling manual labor for soil tilling and weeding, using basic tools like hoes on small, uneven plots. This exhausting work, worsened by limited mechanization access and harsh conditions, drives youth and women away from farming, threatening food security and productivity. Those who persist in resisting resort to the excessive use of herbicides deteriorate their health and render their crops unfit for consumption due to residues. These products are, moreover, banned in Nordic countries. The idea introduces a lightweight, solar-powered mini cultivator with AI for autonomous operation and remote monitoring via mobile app. It eases physical strain through 4-6 hours of off-grid tilling, soil sensors, and simple controls tailored for West Africa rural farmers.

Green Grow Organics idea is mainly based on the shift from highly inefficient soil fertilization to precise, climate-smart agriculture with a highly productive, 100% organic foliar fertilizer spray. In East Africa, heavy rains and steep slopes wash away massive amounts of expensive synthetic fertilizers ranging between 60 and 100 kg/ha, trapping smallholder farmers in a cycle of low yields and poverty. Our innovative, pre-diluted spray will solve this by bypassing the soil entirely and delivering nutrients directly through the crop's leaves. Uniquely designed to be mixed simultaneously with existing organic pesticides, our solution drastically cuts labor and overall chemical usage. Furthermore, by moving the market directly to the farm during high-demand growing seasons, we will eliminate transport costs. Green Grow Organics will reduce overall production costs by approximately 28%, prevent toxic agricultural runoff, and allow farmers and customers to eat some of the crop's leaves, as well as livestock will feed on residues, as previously it was prohibited due to chemical sprays.
