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

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.
