There’s always a good amount to see at the Medica and CompaMed trade shows that take place every November in Dusseldorf, Germany. If you’re unable to make it to this year’s event, this photo gallery will hopefully provide you with a small taste of some of the sights you missed.

Systems could examine health-relevant data to identify risk factors in emergencies and serious accidents. The vehicles are on display at the large Automotive Health special exhibition area in Hall 12. Photo: Messe Düsseldorf/ctillmann.One of the five spheres at Medica is the “Lab & Diagnostics” area. In addition to the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, laboratory medicine also plays an important role in the prevention of diseases.

Although, that’s not the case at this year’s Medica/CompaMed event where the host organization is “welcoming home” attendees with Medica-branded versions of the fruit. Photo: Michael P. Barbella.Swiss firm Checktor Biosciences has set itself the goal of facilitating the targeted treatment of infections with rapid point-of-care tests. Their initial focus is on the need for better gonorrhoea diagnostics; the lack of rapid tests adds to the issue of antibiotics being misused, as they are often prescribed based on symptoms that can be misleading. Photo: Messe Düsseldorf/ctillmann.In addition to the Medica Start-up Competition, the “Healthcare Innovation Worldcup” is a highlight every year, especially for the start-up scene. As part of the competition, startups in various categories pitch for the best solution for the “Internet of Medical Things.” This year’s winner was the team from Samphire Neuroscience with a headset that acts on the neural networks of the brain to help relieve menstrual pain and the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
