What makes you a strong team?
At onsite.ai GmbH, we are an interdisciplinary team from the automotive and construction industries, IT and AI sectors, as well as experts and appraisers for mould and water damage as well as all kinds of pollutants. Together with the microbiological expertise of Professor Matthias Noll from Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts, we cover all areas in order to successfully translate research and development results into simple and intuitive AI products.
Explain your idea in three sentences.
Harmful airborne particles cost Europe’s health and social system €82 billion a year. However, there is no easy, fast and affordable way to detect and prove the presence of harmful airborne particles. Together with Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts, onsite.ai GmbH aims to develop AI-based analysis devices for the investigation of mould spores, pollen, soot and other potentially harmful air particles.
What makes your idea special?
The aim of onsite.ai GmbH is to democratise such air analyses. Everyone should be given the opportunity to obtain reliable on-site information within a few minutes about the exposure to pollutant particles in the respiratory air at work, at home, etc. Current methods are expensive, prone to errors and require the involvement of experts and laboratories. As a result, applications are severely restricted and many sections of the population are excluded.
What’s next?
With the prize money received, we will further develop the idea and the existing POC into a concept eligible for funding. In addition, we are striving for quick and successful implementation of the idea.
