How it all began...
The brilliant idea originally came about during a student competition in the summer of 2016. Fed up with mosquito bites, we tried out the treatment using concentrated heat and were immediately convinced by the active principle, but unimpressed by the lack of available products. Too clunky, never with us and inflexible!
We decided to take the development into our own hands.
We are team heat it®
On an itch-free mission
Insect bites can be treated effectively with heat, but there must also be a "smart" way to apply it. With this plan, our 4 founders began to develop an innovative medical product while still studying engineering. Now we are a dynamic start-up with our own development and production.
