Throwback Wednesday – Crazy to see how far we have come in just a few months 🤯💥 I just stumbled across a video of us on Instagram testing an early interaction prototype during Digital Product School by UnternehmerTUM, where Anika Watzka pushed some buttons on her phone to give me signals on where to move. As you can see, it didn’t work too well 😅. Also, Anika seemed to have fun watching me bump into obstacles 😂. Fast forward 4 months, and we now have an improved, functioning prototype that is frequently tested with individuals from the blind community. It’s incredible to see how far you can get, even with a hard-tech topic like SmartAIs, when you work with a strictly iterative and customer-centric approach. Here are three huge learnings we made during our Digital Product School experience, when immersing in their framework of rapid, iterative, and customer-centric prototyping: 👥 Radically customer-centric: To develop a great product, you need to constantly interact with potential users . 🧩 Small development steps: Break your overall product vision into smaller steps that you can test with users . 🔄 Trust the process: When developing iteratively, you need to trust that the process will lead you to the best outcome. I’m so proud of the awesome work by the SmartAIs team during that time. M. Said Derbel and Yamen Mohisn, my two tech co-founders, Anika Watzka rocking the product design 🎨, and Tan-Colin Wei crushing the mobile implementation 📱. 🤩💪 Pro tip for prototypes: We use ProtoPie, an awesome tool to quickly create and wire together interactive prototypes on different devices⚙️.

🚀 Tech Insights: Depth Exploration with Our Obstacle Avoidance App on iPhone 📱 Exploring and pushing the limits of depth on iPhone and its sensors (depth image is on the top right of the video): - LiDAR - Dual cameras - Time-of-Flight (ToF) front camera By offering these options, our solution is not limited to just iPhone Pro models, making it accessible to many more blind and visually impaired people. 🎧 Use (bone-conduction) headphones while watching the video to experience the stereo beeping feature used for guidance. 💡 Did you notice the depth range in meters achieved with each option? Apple: Let's push the boundaries of what we can do together for blind and visually impaired people! Are you fascinated by our vision at SmartAIs and want to contribute? We would love to talk! The video was recorded at Munich Urban Colab. Come by our office at TUM Venture Labs if you would like to test our solution. #Innovation #Accessibility #TechForGood #SmartAIs #Apple #iPhone #LiDAR #Depth #ObstacleAvoidance #VisuallyImpaired #Blind

It's a wrap! Last week, batch no.7 of the #4CAccelerator successfully completed the #4CWorkshops 💪 In a total of 15 workshops, hosted by the Stiftung für Medizininnovationen, the startups gained a lot of new knowledge and transferred it directly into their businesses with hands-on exercises. To sum up this time and to quote one of the participants: "We had a mutually joyful and painful time." 😉 A special thank you to the teams for your commitment, your ambition and your passion to bring your innovations into the #healthcare system: Aicendence, EndoSurge, #LiSa, Powered Orthotics, Proskope, QuantiLight, relios.vision and SmartAIs! It was a pleasure to accompany you through the workshops and our 4C Experts Ingo, Christian, Ramona and Henrike are now looking forward to supporting your journey in 1-on-1 coaching for another year. Also, many thanks to Tilmann Petersen from HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds and Annika Russo from MBG Baden-Württemberg GmbH for being sparring partners in our final session. -- The program is funded by Start-up BW of the Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit und Tourismus Baden-Württemberg, the B. Braun Stiftung - der Gesundheit neue Wege bereiten, and the Hector-stiftung. #startupbw #startupbwaccelerator

Testing with users is definitely the best part of our job! 💡👥 Yesterday, we had the chance to test our current obstacle avoidance prototype with a very special member of the blind community: Judith Faltl, who is the chairwoman of the Bavarian Blind Association (BBSB) and CEO of BFW Würzburg. She is also blind herself. Most importantly, she shares our vision of an obstacle avoidance solution on the smartphone. 📱 “It’s a new way of walking for me – I walk a lot more relaxed, without touching the obstacles, getting stuck, and getting interrupted all the time.” Statements like these fuel us! 😍 🔋 Constant testing with users is not only the most important source of gaining insights for further iterations of our product and developing a product that truly fits users' needs, but it is also always super motivating to see the excitement of our testers and receive compliments like the one above. 🙌✨ Judith Faltl, thank you very much for your continuous support on multiple dimensions – we really appreciate it! 🙏🌟 [Video alt text for accessability] Start screen: SmartAIs – Obstacle avoidance app for blind people. A blind woman, Judith Faltl, is shown with a white cane and a small bag in front of her chest, in which a smartphone is stored. The woman bypasses an e-scooter without touching it, guided by the obstacle avoidance app. She is then guided around a corner without touching an orientation line. One co-founder of SmartAIs, Yamen, discusses insights from the walk with the woman. In another sequence, the woman avoids the cameraman, who has positioned himself as an obstacle. A picture of two co-founders of SmartAIs, Sascha and Yamen, together with Judith Faltl, standing in front of a wall and smiling. End screen: SmartAIs – Walk with confidence. #UserTesting #Innovation #Accessibility #BlindCommunity #ObstacleAvoidance #SmartphoneSolutions #InclusiveDesign #TechForGood #Inspiration #Motivation #Feedback #ProductDevelopment

Who can spot our co-founder Sascha Preget in the picture? 🕵️♂️ Yesterday, we had the opportunity to present on stage how SmartAIs uses robotics and computer vision technology to help blind people walk outdoors. We were able to participate in the Geriatronics Summit 2024 in the beautiful city of Garmisch-Partenkirchen as part of a delegation by robo.innovate and TUM Venture Labs Robotics / AI. 🌟🤖 It was great to see what top researchers are doing at the intersection of robotics and care and get a glimpse of what will come in the near future. Kudos to the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich for organizing such a fantastic event. 👏🏽 We were thrilled to represent Technical University of Munich health robotics startups alongside Devanthro - the Robody Company and navel robotics GmbH. 🤝 A big thank you to Nicole Ebner and Sonja Stange for making our participation possible. 🙏🏼 Photo credit: Max Merget / TUM MIRMI 📸
