OnWard
Matteo Bruno, Joana Stutz, Dominik Näf
Make continuous vital monitoring as simple as applying a bandaid.
OnWard captures what is usually lost: vital data from the very first moments of an emergency. Apply the sensor like a bandage, access live vitals on any smartphone with a single tap, and securely hand over continuous data to paramedics.
No new infrastructure.Minimal interface.
Clarity under pressure.

Vital Guard
Trisha Wettstein, Abirshana Thayalakuru, Anna Senko, Caroline Krasnosselski
When chaos unfolds and every second matters, Vital Guard stands watch. Designed for small emergency teams at mass-casualty incidents, the quickly attachable wearables capture vital signs of every patient on site. A dynamic triage app continuously analyses the data and automatically updates patient priority in real time. Vital Guard transforms triage from a static first assessment into continuous, data-driven prioritisation and ensures that no deterioration goes unnoticed.
at 4:10pm
Petal
Elena Fabrikant, Noel Kampus, Nico Frey
When medical teams are responsible for many patients and conditions change continuously, they cannot watch everyone at once. Petal is a wearable monitoring and triage system for emergency response and mass casualty situations. A thin silicone patch tracks vital signs in real time and sends the data to a shared dashboard. This gives medical professionals a clear overview of all patients at once and helps them see quickly who needs attention most.
