There is hardly anything that can be done about this. But something can be done about the itching and swelling of the bites. The four founders of Kamedi GmbH, who met during their studies of mechanical engineering at KIT and in the USA, make sure of that.<\/p>\n<p>With their sting healer &#8220;heat_it&#8221;, the team at the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT) has developed a handy mobile device that can be connected to almost any smartphone and heals stings in seconds. However, it not only puts an end to annoying stings, but also provides relief from herpes outbreaks. The mechanism of action behind it: Hyperthermia. The affected area of skin is heated up for a few seconds, the animal venom is decomposed, histamine release is reduced and, as a result, the symptoms of animal stings and herpes are alleviated. Since a different temperature (50 to 60 degrees Celsius) and treatment duration (3 to 15 seconds) are required for healing depending on the animal, skin area and infection, the body area, e.g. foot or face, and type of sting can be set via an app. In practice, it then looks like this: First, the heat_it is plugged into the smartphone&#8217;s charging port as an add-on. The smartphone is used for power supply and control. The smartphone recognizes the heat_it and the app opens. The cause and skin thickness of the affected area are selected in the main menu. The stitch healer is pressed against the affected skin area and visual, acoustic and haptic (vibration) instructions are given.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"col-md-5 offset-md-1 a-animate--fade-in-right js-animate a-animate--delay-1\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"o-blog-text-w-side-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/kit-gruenderschmiede.de\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Heat-IT-Teamfoto_Quelle-1250x850.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div class=\"o-content s-content o-content--space-lg js-animate a-animate--fade-in-up a-animate--delay-03\">\n  <div class=\"container-lg\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col-md-10 offset-md-1 col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n        <p>Das Gute daran: Die bew\u00e4hrte und rein physikalische Wirkung l\u00f6st keine allergischen Reaktionen aus, verursacht keine unangenehmen Ger\u00fcche und der Stromverbrauch ist so gering, dass man problemlos hunderte Stiche mit einer Akkuladung heilen k\u00f6nnte. Der heat_it bietet mit der zugeh\u00f6rigen App au\u00dferdem zahlreiche intelligente Zusatzfunktionen, z.B. die fotografische Dokumentation des Heilungsverlaufs oder Voraussagen \u00fcber die Insektenverbreitung an bestimmten Orten. Au\u00dferdem ist er wasserdicht, ben\u00f6tigt keinen eigenen Energiespeicher und ist so kompakt, dass er als Schl\u00fcsselanh\u00e4nger oder im Geldbeutel mitgenommen werden kann.<\/p>\n<p>Die offizielle Gr\u00fcndung der Kamedi GmbH erfolgte Ende 2018. Das Team arbeitet derzeit intensiv an der Zertifizierung der Firma und Zulassung des preisgekr\u00f6nten heat_it als Medizinprodukt. Der Markteinstieg soll Anfang 2020 erfolgen, Hauptzielgruppe sind Eltern, Outdoorliebhaber und Backpacker. Mithilfe einer Crowdfunding-Kampagne im Juli 2019 soll wichtiges Marktfeedback eingeholt und zudem die weitere Finanzierung des Projekts gesichert werden. F\u00fcr die Unterst\u00fctzung seitens der KIT-Gr\u00fcnderschmiede waren die vier Gr\u00fcnder von Anfang an dankbar, ob bei der F\u00f6rdermittel- und Finanzierungsberatung, beim erfolgreichen Antrag des EXIST-Gr\u00fcnderstipendiums im Herbst 2018 oder der Vermittlung von Mentoren und Netzwerkpartnern. Und das enge Verh\u00e4ltnis zum universit\u00e4ren Umfeld, insbesondere dem Institut f\u00fcr Mikrostrukturtechnik am KIT soll auch in Zukunft weiter gepflegt werden.<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n
