Peter Lakatos is currently trying to complete his Master's of Data Science from Hungary. He is also the ringleader of the group of childhood friends from Budapest who, working under the name Team Discover, succeeded in the space of thirty hours in conjuring the winning concept from the 3D printer. Propelled by corona, in April he returned to his home country from Stockholm - where he was taking the second year of his dual degree, having spent his first year in Eindhoven.

Likewise, the other team members - with one exception - are studying for a master's degree through the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). Levente Mitnyik, responsible for the electronic hardware, is currently studying Embedded Systems at TU/e and divides his time between his studies and the project, which has developed into a fully fledged startup, under the name Entremo.

Infection

The thinking behind Entremo's headset is that it enables nurses to monitor a large group of patients from a distance, Lakatos explains from Budapest. “The patients place the device momentarily on their head once an hour, so that the built-in sensors can wirelessly transmit their temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and the level of oxygen in their blood. This saves nurses from having to repeatedly come close to their patients.” This not only saves a great deal of time, but also reduces the chance of infection.
