Please do NOT submit proprietary or confidential information or source code. Proposals can only be submitted via the submission form. Restrictions to the number of characters you can enter in the form may apply; you can attach a.pdf file to the submission to be more explicit. Please be aware: Each initiative has a different submission deadline. Submission Review I Your submission will be reviewed by Bayer review teams. In some initiatives the review teams may include external partners. The decision to provide support is in the entire discretion of Bayer without any obligation to justify it or to give reasons. During evaluation of your submission, we will consider the following: Assessment of the problem: Many issues in today’s laboratory, clinical trials, manufacturing, hospital-related work, persons and patient’s lives, have a definitive impact on later outcomes of patients’ health. The magnitude of the problem you want to solve will be assessed. Submission Review II Relevance and Assessment of the proposed solution to solve the problem: Our interest lies in solutions that can be developed to a minimum viable product in short- to mid-term time frames, i.e. Up to six months. In cases where it is not possible to achieve a solution in this time frame, your project may still be selected to receive financial support. We expect carefully thought or already started projects rather than ideas. The feasibility of the proposed solution will be assessed. We will review your project description and project plan. There are no restrictions on platforms, operating systems, or technologies, but we expect solutions that are viable and up to today’s standards. You or your team should be able to develop and implement the proposed solution. Response to Submission The Bayer review team will respond to you within six weeks after the submission end date. We will inform you of our decision to provide financial support for your project. If your submission is selected, you will then be given a contract to sign. Please read about your initiative for terms of the contract. After development you will show the results to the Bayer team. How your development and results are shown will be decided on a case by case basis. Failure to comply effectively with the contract may result in a termination of the proposed financial support. Who can apply? Legal entities or persons who are 18 years old or older may apply for financial and/or other support (we call it “grant”). Read about each initiative for residency requirements. Bayer employees or their families may not apply. Bayer subcontractors may apply. Do I own the intellectual rights to the software or technology once developed? Yes, ownership remains with the applicant. Can I see projects submitted by other people? No, essentially projects are viewable only to Bayer review teams. In some initiatives the review teams may also include external partners. In some cases we may talk high level about your submission with external investment partners. Can I submit more than one project? Yes, you can submit more than one project. Please make one submission for each project proposal. If you want to submit the same project to different Grants4Apps initiatives, please submit once for each initiative. What language(s) are allowed for submission?

Counterfeit Drugs Detection App Granted 10000€ Counterfeit pharmaceuticals are a global problem. The markets and the profits for life style drugs even exceed the profits for illicit drugs like heroine, ecstasy, cocaine etc. Our app CDDA uses smartphones to detect counterfeit drugs. Therefore it takes pictures of the pill under investigation and compares it to original pharmaceuticals in the database. After a computer vision based discriminational process, the app shows the measurement result: Original or counterfeit drug. BigFONT OCR Reader Granted 10000€ BigFONT is the first app that allows millions of users that have difficulties with the small print on their iPhones to read with ease. Finally users can easily increase the text size of mobile web pages, which otherwise can’t be zoomed in. Now BigFONT get’s another useful feature – an OCR Reader. Just take a picture of any printed material and you will see the extracted text in easily readable large print on your iPhone. If that’s not enough, push a button and a terrific sounding voice reads it right back to you. Blood App Granted 10000€ BloodApp wants to turn modern phones and cameras into imaging based laboratories for the sensitive diagnostics of blood cells and molecules. It could be used for standard assays, i.e. To monitor blood clotting or anemia, but also to detect new biomarkers. The mobile system could be used in the doctor’s practice, in pharmacies and also as a self-test at home. The tool could enable the close-meshed medical surveillance of chronic patients living in remote regions. Critical decisions in emergency situations can then be made directly. The mobile system also would reduce the costs for the collection of patient data in clinical studies. Contact:. Postnatal Exercises Granted 5000€ After childbirth it is very important that women regain lost muscles. At the same time with the new baby they are more bound to the house and have more difficulty including workouts in their daily schedule. Building on top of their existing online fitness-training, digicare will create a digital personal trainer, that has all the exercises needed for women after childbirth. The training can be done at home. It is fully customized, healthy and effective. In contrast to a static DVD the training time can be adapted to the needs of the woman and each session is slightly different, so that the training is never boring and compliance is better. Motivational elements like reminders help her stay on track. Health Pilot Granted 5000€ HEALTH PILOT – PATIENT EMPOWERING APP! Within the OECD-comparison Germany has one of the highest levels of inpatient hospital activity. While hospitals face the situation with standardization of procedures, patients feel uncertain. Patients who are admitted to a hospital should therefore be empowered regarding their health literacy. To empower patients, the native app “HEALTH PILOT” will be available. The patient installs the “HEALTH PILOT” after being admitted to a hospital by his doctor. “HEALTH PILOT” provides information and functionality in three major areas with several services: 1) procedure preparation, 2) procedure / alternative procedures and 3) patient-oriented hospital. Menthal Dopa Granted 5000€ Menthal Dopa is an Android app to track symptoms of neurological disorders and diseases, especially of Parkinson’s, directly on the phone 24/7/365. We use lock screens and cellphone sensors to get information about the user’s tremor, dexterity of fingers and the sound level of voice. Most parts of the app work in the background and won’t affect the user’s phone usage. Menthal Dopa is part of the Menthal Health Analytics group by Assistant Professor Alexander Markowetz and lead by Christopher Kannen. Itsy Bitsy – Technology Crawler Granted 5000€ Developed by Schaltzeit, Itsy Bitsy enables searching for innovative developments across multiple sources, displaying the results on a central page. Via interfaces for pre-defined sources the search can be performed on the levels of metadata, abstracts and full articles. In a volatile environment such as the health care industry, new developments and trends in technology, consumer behavior, competition, and law are retrieved in a structured form and can be constantly observed. Grandma 'Fairy Tale' Granted 5000€ There is this group of people in our society, the elderly, the grand parents – they have time to be spent and love to give. In Berlin, 80 year old grandma Irmgard Müller is reading fairy tales to kids in her own, lovely decorated house. She’s so passionate about it that she’s been doing this for more than 20 years. Project “Grandma Fairy Tale” will connect the many as much as passionate but yet unknown grandmas of our country to children in need of emotional care, for instance while in hospital or other health or social care. Founder André Pareis, experienced software developer and entrepreneur likes ideas which connect people and help them having a good time. OpenSNP Granted 5000€ openSNP offers a platform for customers of Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) genetic testing – as performed by companies like 23andMe – and (citizen) scientists alike. Customers of DTC testing can publish their genetic information into the public domain, find recent scientific literature and annotations about their own genetic variations, and discuss those variations with other users of openSNP. Thus, the platform creates a rich resource for interaction and information. For (citizen) scientists interested in using genetic information in their research (e.g. Genome-Wide Association Studies), openSNP offers a large database of genetic data linked with phenotypic annotations that is openly accessible. EProScore Granted 5000€ For people with speech impediments it can be very difficult to regain the ability to speak clearly and pronounce correctly. Part of the challenge is to get constant guidance about what exactly needs to be improved and how to measure progress. With eProScore, users can listen to specific words and repeat them for rapid pronunciation training. After playing back the voice recording, the app scores how well every part of the word was pronounced and displays the recommended tongue and mouth movements. LARA – your health companion Granted 5000€ “LARA – your health companion” is a digital decision aid program for women between diagnosis fibroids and treatment decision. Every 3rd woman suffers from fibroid related symptoms. Fibroids are benign non-cancerous tissue growths of the uterus womb. Symptoms strongly influence womans’ physical, emotional and sexual wellbeing. They can harm fertility. LARA stands for L=learn, A=appreciate, R=reach decision, A=take action. LARA assists women in understanding their diagnosis and treatment options. LARA lets women manage their own care. LARA prepares them for a shared-decision-making on their individual treatment together with their physician. :studycompanion Granted 5000€:studycompanion is a mobile app for smartphones and tablets, that guides study participants through the daily routine of clinical trials. The app presents a detailed plan of the study structure (e.g., the next activity the study participant must conduct and where it is taking place). Depending on location information, the app is aware of the study participants actual position and directs her to the next location.:studycompanion uses data provied by the:study system of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Ohne Kippe Granted 5000€ Every year nearly 140.000 people in Germany die due to tobacco use. The vast majority of smokers begin using tobacco products well before the age of 18 years. Therefore the Thoraxklinik Heidelberg developed a smoking prevention Program “ohne Kippe” for children aged 12-14 years. Additional to this primary prevention program an app was designed that should actively motivate to stop smoking with motivation games, personal high score, extensive statistics, some fitness values and a non-smoking song.
