TruffleScout
A TSA-compliant miniaturized biosensor watch that detects authentic truffle signatures in restaurants and markets, helping travelers avoid fake truffle products while exploring gourmet destinations.

The Wow Moment
You're at a tourist-trap restaurant in Rome and the waiter brings out a €120 'truffle pasta' - you discreetly glance at your watch and it flashes red: NO DETECT - you confidently decline, saving €100 and avoiding a disappointing meal. Later at a tiny family trattoria, your watch pulses green with a 95% match score - you order confidently and experience the real thing.

An AI-powered mental health app that guides users through anxiety by visualizing their thoughts as a glowing labyrinth they navigate.
