Three startups selected

CNS Therapy from Zug has developed a treatment for chronic pain without medication, surgery, or implants. Its systolic extinction therapy, for example, using neuromodulation and behavioral therapy has been proven effective in randomized studies. It is an innovative, interactive behavioral therapy combined with a patented medical device.

Moonlight AI with headquarters at the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area – Jura in Courroux in the Swiss canton of Jura develops artificial intelligence models to predict genomic biomarkers that are therapeutically relevant. It uses scans of stained hematology or pathology slides to do so. The startup aims to use these to democratize access to genomic information for therapeutic decisions.

CryoThermo 4.0 is developing a new generation of patented medical thermal compresses “thanks to a technological and therapeutic paradigm shift”. The startup also plans to manufacture and market these. The aim is to become the global leader in this area.
