Congratulations to cureVision GmbH, a recent Luminate cohort 7 member, for winning the Innovation Prize at Bavaria 2024! 🏆🎉
🏆 🎉 Der Innovationspreis Bayern 2024 geht an... cureVision GmbH! Wir freuen uns riesig, dass unser Team für unsere innovativen Lösungen in der Wundanalyse ausgezeichnet wurde. Gestern hat uns Bayerns Wirtschaftsminister Hubert Aiwanger zusammen mit der IHK für München und Oberbayern sowie der Handwerkskammer für München und Oberbayern diesen renommierten Preis überreicht. Er wird alle 2 Jahre verliehen an Innovationen, die vorher von Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt (DPMA) auf Herz und Nieren geprüft wurden. Diese Auszeichnung ist für uns vor allem eines: Ansporn! Pflegekräfte entlasten und die medizinische Versorgung verbessern - das ist es, was uns bei #cureVision jeden Tag antreibt. Mit unserer KI-gestützten Technologie ermöglichen wir eine vollautomatische Wunddokumentation, die den Prozess um bis zu 90% beschleunigt. Ein großer Dank geht an unser engagiertes Team und alle Unterstützer! Gemeinsam gestalten wir die Zukunft des Gesundheitswesens. Lasst uns weiterhin die Ärmel hochkrempeln und Innovationen in Deutschland vorantreiben! Wir bedanken uns herzlich bei der Jury, die über 150 Einsendungen beurteilen und prüfen musste: Arndt Bode, Andreas Bachmann, Ute Giese, Dr.-Ing.
