Grand Prize Winner 2018

The cloud-based Riffyn Scientific Development Environment structures and links experimental designs and data across R&D teams for real-time analytics.For two decades R&D digitization has focused on ELN, LIMS, and SDMS for experiment data capture. This resulted in fragmented data silos and systems, and neglected the most important piece of the puzzle: design and analysis of the scientific processes across the R&D lifecycle. Traditional approaches don’t connect the dots from hypothesis to observations to traceable scientific decisions. Riffyn returns focus to the scientific process itself with its paradigm-changing data system, Riffyn Scientific Development Environment (SDE). It is for global R&D organizations who need more productive, more reliable science. The Riffyn SDE takes you from laboratory data collection to machine learning in 30 seconds.

Audience Vote Winner 2018

BreastIT is a portable diagnosis tool for breast abnormalities as cancer. It’s a handheld, pocket sized photo-acoustic imaging system that empowers radiologists to make focused assessments and accelerate treatment decisions at the point of care. radiologists can be able to take decisive action, refer patients quickly, optimize the course of treatment reducing the overall cost of care in low resource settings. 

As breast IT accelerates the rate of early breast cancer detection, its primary impact is increasing the survival rate of women who live with the condition. The portability of the device means that especially women in poor and rural areas are able to benefit from the technology. The team has high ambitions, hoping to launch their product worldwide and then use the data collected to support academic research of breast cancer.

Finalist 2018

uFraction8 is developing a solution designed to address the need for a scalable, low energy primary recovery solution for bioproducers using unicellular cultures. Using massively multiplexed modular microfluidic arrays, the power of microfluidics can be scaled to address the needs of industry. Our solution exploits hydrodynamic effects to gently separate cells from liquid flows that are confined to uniquely designed flow channels. uFraction8’s systems allow for a single step dewatering system, while delivering substantial energy savings, reducing labour and material transfer and, increasing yield by using a uniquely low shear flow regime. We can save 75% of the primary recovery costs compared to conventional techniques.
