On 20 and 21 June, the IMC at Messe M\u00fcnchen hosted the second Bits & Pretzels Healthtech<\/a> \u2013 a spin-off of the large Founders Festival, which is entirely dedicated to the healthcare sector. For the 2023 edition, the organizers expected over 2,500 participants, over 400 investors, and more than 100 exhibiting companies and startups. Christoph Commes<\/strong>, co-founder of Raya Diagnostics and one of this year\u2019s curators, explained in conversation with Munich Startup<\/a>: "This year we have become significantly more international, not only in terms of participants but also in terms of the topics."

The Munich startup scene was also actively represented: With its mental health app, the startup Lumeus helps those affected manage anxiety, stress, depression, sleep disorders, and addictive behavior through an emotional training program. Verena Herzog-Pohl<\/strong> (right in the picture): "Our application is based on the latest findings from emotion research and therapy. Our goal is to actively evoke emotions for both preventative and acute treatment of illnesses." The founder's conclusion from the trade fair: "It was definitely worth it. We were able to hold discussions with large international corporations, some of which have now become our customers. The international startups represented here also told us about other events we want to attend." (Photo: Munich Startup)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Orbit Health<\/a> presented an app that helps offer personalized treatment to people with Parkinson's disease. Smartwatches record movement data, which is analyzed and evaluated by an AI system. This allows treating physicians, nurses, and even patients themselves to continuously monitor and access the patient's condition. Orbit Health is participating in Bits & Pretzels Healthtech for the second time. "For us as a Munich-based startup, it's a home game. We know many players and are looking forward to meeting them here. Perhaps one or two collaborations will arise," said Orbit Health. Ferdinand Gottwald<\/strong> by Orbit Health.

Along with private customers, investors and researchers, the team from Icaros<\/a> The startup focuses on combining training and gaming with its innovative VR-supported training and therapy systems. Co-founder shared his personal experience at the trade fair with us. Johannes Scholl<\/strong> (right in the picture): "The three of us came specifically so that we could listen to some of the presentations as exhibitors. The speakers and topics were extremely interesting." (Photo: Munich Startup)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Also from Munich was the start-up Devanthro, which presented its robots at its booth, which can be remotely controlled from a distance and are intended to make life easier, especially for nursing staff. As avatars, the humanoid robots can carry out short and follow-up visits to patients, and later they will even assist them with dressing or washing. Or, as the founder of the Munich startup puts it, Rafael Hostettler<\/strong>, summarizes: "We're making sure that our grandmas and grandpas won't have to be home alone in the future." The young entrepreneur was impressed by the positive atmosphere at the trade fair: "Bits & Pretzels is really good at that." (Photo: Munich Startup)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The startup Livair, based at the Munich Technology Center (MTZ), has developed a smart air quality system that uses handheld sensors to measure indoor air quality in real time based on ten different parameters. AI-based software uses these data sets to determine additional virtual parameters, such as viral load. "We measure the air quality of the conference rooms live and display the readings on screens outside each room. That's a good starting point for discussing the topic," Moritz Zerwes from Livair explains. And what's the air like at Bits & Pretzels Healthcare? "Pretty good, even though there are so many people there." We can confirm that. (Photo: Munich Startup)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A must at Bits & Pretzels events \u2013 alongside the wheat beer carousel \u2013 is networking. Between the exhibition booths and conference rooms, there was plenty of space to engage in conversation with national and international founders, investors, and key players in the healthcare sector.

The highlight of the evening: Michael J. Fox personally accepted the newly created Frontier Award for his commitment to the fight against Parkinson's disease. Since his own diagnosis more than 30 years ago, the actor and film producer has tirelessly worked to combat the disease. With his Michael J. Fox Foundation, the filmmaker has raised more than $1.75 billion for Parkinson's research and become the world's largest charitable funder in this field. The Frontier Award, presented jointly with the Board of Trustees of Bits Pretzels Healthtech, honors people who venture into uncharted territory, bravely face adversity, and move forward with optimism, even when the odds for change seem insurmountable.
