ACMIT’s long-term scientific partner, the Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at the Medical University Vienna awarded the prestigious Spin-off Fellowship for the SVAN (Safe Vascular Access Needle) project by FFG. Dr. Gunpreet Oberoi (senior scientist at ACMIT and postdoctoral researcher in the Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at the Medical University of Vienna) is leading this project together with a dedicated team of experts.
The SVAN is an innovative injection device for emergencies involving newborns and animals, addressing 1.4 million global cases annually. Supported by Austria Wirtschaftsservice (aws) (Prototype Funding, 2021) and FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH (Spinoff Fellowship, 2024), SVAN provides fast and reliable bone/ intraosseous access for life-saving medications within 90 seconds. It is designed for use by various professionals, including neonatologists, pediatricians, veterinarians, and emergency responders, as well as military personnel in crisis situations.
The xbio – Building a Biomedical Enterprise Demo Day, hosted at the Sky Lounge of the University of Vienna on 27th June, 2024. Seven talented researchers pitched their innovative projects to an expert jury and attendees.
Dr. Gunpreet Oberoi received the Grand Prize for Best Pitch at the xbio – Building a Biomedical Enterprise Demo Day for the project SVAN.
