In October, participants from the TSI business incubator, iDEAHUB, took part in a “Selected Startup Pitch Session” event organized as part of the “Women Innovate Together” program. It was an excellent opportunity to gain fresh inspiration, share ideas and experiences, build valuable professional connections, and learn from one another.
The MEDFLY, who are developing a smart medical payload capsule designed to keep medical supplies within the required temperature range of +2 °C to +8 °C while tracking temperature, location, and shocks throughout transport – helping make medical deliveries safer, smarter, and more reliable, gained valuable insights from the journeys and experiences of other innovative projects, shared their own progress and challenges, and left with a renewed dose of inspiration and fresh perspectives for the road ahead.
The event offered valuable insights, fresh ideas, and renewed motivation, highlighting the importance of collaboration and knowledge exchange in turning ambitious ideas into real-world solutions.
Beyond gaining inspiration, MEDFLY continues to make significant progress in developing its solution. Today the teams’ engineering design is completed, telemetry platform running, and test hardware procured and delivered, and are moving closer to assembling the prototype.
For MEDFLY, participation in this event was more than an opportunity to present an innovative idea. It was a chance to connect with others who share the ambition to solve real-world challenges through technology and creativity.
Every new connection, shared experience, and milestone brings MEDFLY one step closer to transforming its vision into a practical solution. With continued support from TSI iDEAHUB, the team is turning inspiration into action and demonstrating how student-driven innovation can contribute to a smarter and safer future for healthcare logistics.
Behind every innovative solution are people with ideas, determination, and the drive to make a difference. Meet the MEDFLY team – the minds bringing this promising project to life:
