Five Teams worked hard for two days to concept, develop, and produce IoT prototypes and business models - around the theme of Social Good. This was organised in association with Webvisions Conference. The slides are brief summaries of the teams' ideas.

IoT Lab for Social Good: The Approach
Explore Ideate + Pitch Develop Prototype Present
Explore potential
challenges, and choose a
starting point for their
IoT concept
Ideate around the
starting point, and
choose and pitch an IoT
enabled solution that the
team will develop further
Build out the details of the
concept: service diagram,
tech considerations,
physical & digital aspects,
business model etc.
Prototype the product
and service to
demonstrate how it
works and its value to
people
Present concept to the
rest of the Lab
participants in the closing
session

Smart Bottle
Challenge:
People want to know the quality of the water they
encounter and if it is safe to drink
Concept:
Smart Bottle has various sensors that take a reading of
the water inside, including measurements like the
temperature and pH level. The combination of these
readings indicate to the user through a red or green
light whether the water is safe to drink or not. The
different data from the reading is sent to the cloud,
together with the location of the water source. Users
can access a map on a mobile or web app to find good
quality drinking water, and third parties (government,
etc.) can access the aggregated data to understand
water quality across the country.
Value:
The individual is given useful knowledge in the
moment, and the data generated and published can
help to create transparency around water quality levels,
which may lead to pressure for governments to
improve it.

Internet of Broken Things
Challenge:
People want to extract the full value out of their
belongings, from broken technology to items they’ve
replaced
Concept:
IoBT (Internet of Broken Things) is a platform on which
people can list their broken or unwanted products. On
uploading a picture of the item (or identifying it online
through scanning the barcode or RFID, etc.), the user is
presented with the option to fix the device themselves,
get in contact with someone local that has the skills to
fix it, or offer it to someone else who can make use of it
in another way.
Value:
The platform helps to reduce waste, get value from
broken or unwanted objects and creates a community.

Super Ed
Challenge:
Motivate school children to work harder, and use an
online education and testing platform
Concept:
Lamps show the progress of the pupils by visualising
their performance data in coloured LEDs. The light
configuration is shaped by the data which comes from
the online education and testing platform the pupils
use. A small home lamp shows an individual pupil’s
progress for the family to see and a larger lamp in the
classroom indicates the performance of the whole
class. Classes with their own lamps can compete with
each other, and the teachers can see the overall success
of each.
Value:
Pupils are motivated by seeing their progress in a
delightful, tangible way.

Smart Drop
Challenge:
Encourage people to reduce their water footprint and
give them actionable ways to do so
Concept:
Smartphone app that enables users to see their water
consumption over time. A sensor on each tap can be
identified with a user’s smartphone; the water flowing
through the tap is measured and the data sent to the
cloud. The initial use case would be in hotels where
water consumption is significantly high. Guests who
met certain water-saving goals during their stay would
receive rewards like free drinks or a discount on their
hotel bill. Each person’s water footprint would be linked
to a profile that could be activated in any hotel, bar,
restaurant, and could potentially extend to monitor
personal consumption of electricity and other
resources.
Value:
People are motivated to reduce their water
consumption. Apart from being good for the
environment, water bills for individuals/hotels would
also be significantly lowered.

Jabberbug
Challenge:
Bars in cities like Barcelona can produce a lot of noise
pollution which disturbs neighbours and incur fines for
the bar owners.
Concept:
Sensors placed in people’s homes pick up sounds in the
vicinity. When the resident feels the bar is making too
much noise, they can press a button in their home (or
use the smartphone app) to transmit a complaint to the
bar owner. The bar owner sees a warning light turn on
or receives a message printed out of a small printer
specifically for the task and needs to press a button to
acknowledge the complaint. They can then choose how
to act on it
Value:
Less noise pollution from neighbourhood bars, achieved
in a non-confrontational way. The data from the system
can also be analysed to identify problem areas by the
police, potential house buyers or neighbours.
