Check out the award ceremony:
14 teams created solutions for very important challenges such as obesity and diabetes, fires, accidents, drowning, integration of the blind and deaf, diseases of the skin, and several others. After intense deliberation, the judges decided on a first, a second and two shared third places.

The winning team conceived an Advanced BMI solution, developing a more precise measure for the Body Mass Index by using computer vision and AI on the edge without compromising privacy. During the weekend, Aïcha, Mayank, Johnny, Lauri and Marvin created an affordable working prototype for body measurement as well as an app which displays the private data on a smartphone. Congratulations team!

Moritz, Tim, Nick, Timo, and Philipp 3D-printed a small, low-power IoT device which also works as an offline solution without WiFi. It is worn by firefighters and provides visuals and real-time sensor readings, incl. toxic gases. This data can be seen in FEUERMAP, a live heatmap. Well done, FEUER-team!

The Stata Mater – Intelligent Wildfire Prevention Platform trained intelligent cameras to look for and identify risky vegetation. The data are visualized by an app that shows active risks and offers recommendations on how to solve them. Their initial customers will be insurers who will reward property owners if they install the camera and act by the recommendations. Congrats to Jhorman, Andrés, and Beatrice!

The pandemic has accelerated digitalization in many areas and has tremendously raised the general awareness around health and safety. The first Transatlantic AI Hackathon will pick-up on these important developments and dive deeper into the possibilities of how edge AI can help improve health and safety in new and creative ways.
