8 startups you need to meet at CES next week
Next week marks North America’s biggest tech event, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
It’s a truly mammoth event encompassing football stadium-sized halls, ballrooms, and venues throughout Las Vegas, and it requires a lot of planning to go the distance.
With that in mind, here’s some great European startups you’re going to want to add to your schedule:
Gyrogear (UK)
After six years and millions in funding, Gyrogear is launching a glove that reduces hand tremors in Parkinson’s and Essential Tremor patients using a spinning top.
The glove’s gyroscope spins super-fast, pushing back against the wearer’s movements proportionally as it tries to right itself. This instantly minimises the debilitating tremors. No more drugs and the side effects they come with.
The company won three CES 2024 Innovation Awards this year in the categories of Accessibility & Aging Tech, Wearable Technologies, and Digital Health.
Sevvy (The Netherlands)
Sevvy has developed patented technology, making it possible to prepare food without baking fats and use up to 50 percent less salt and sugar. Up to 90 percent less electricity is needed to prepare food.
The technology used by Sevvy is a completely new way of cooking compared to preparing meals with a microwave, induction hob, air fryer or oven.
Sevvy technology is available to license for cooking, baking and preparation equipment, including patents, know-how, technical solutions and recipe content.
Optysun (Ukraine)
OptySun has developed a bottle or canteen designed for emergencies, featuring automated water disinfection and extended storage capabilities. Made from durable stainless steel, it has a built-in UV LED emitter that eliminates 99.8 percent of bacteria in 15 minutes. It offers “Disinfection” and “Storage” modes and integrates seamlessly with mobile devices via low-energy Bluetooth.
The wireless charging feature enhances durability, and it complies with international emergency standards.
This eco-friendly bottle can perform eight disinfection cycles per charge, making it essential for disaster preparedness, outdoor activities, and humanitarian aid, while also reducing single-use plastic waste.
The company has also developed a solar powered water purifier device for use within the field.
Optysun was an honoree in CES’s Innovation Awards
Doser (The Netherlands)
Doser has developed DoseRx , a desktop 3D printer of final dosage forms that enables personalised dosing of active pharmaceuticals through a patented semi-solid printing process enabling decentral production of medicine. In other words 3D printing of personalised drugs.
The printer enables more pharmacies to compound high-quality personalised medicine locally, standardised and on demand.
Nutrix (Switzerland)
Nutrix is digital health startup based in Basel, Switzerland and offices in Poland and Chile.
It developed gSense, an AI-first SaaS platform that uses high-tech devices, AI and remote monitoring to provide assistance and monitoring for patients with chronic diseases.
The company has developed the world’s first non-invasive, medical-grade cortisol monitoring sensor, CortiSense. Cortisol plays a crucial role in stress management, overall mental well-being, and weight loss efforts.
Whispp (The Netherlands)
Worldwide 500 million people permanently lost their voice due to a voice disorder, trauma or old age or stutter severely. This has a profound and far-reaching effect on their daily lives and work.
AI assistive Voice Technology and Calling App converts whispered speech (people who stutter severely speak relaxed and much more fluent while whispering) and vocal cord-impaired speech (throat cancer, vocal cord paralysis, ALS) into a person’s natural voice, in real-time.
