Long-life power platforms for IoT applications

Peter Rosengren 20th November 2023

CNet is participating in the LoLiPoP-IoT project which is aiming to improve the battery lifetime and energy harvesting of wireless sensors that are retrofitted in IoT applications for monitoring purposes.

Consisting of 40 European partners, the project is creating an ecosystem of developers, integrators and users to develop power platforms which consider power/battery life, ease of installation and maintenance. Focus is on three main application areas: Industry, smart mobility and energy efficient buildings with use cases for asset monitoring & tracking, condition monitoring for predictive maintenance as well as environmental monitoring. The development of platforms enables reuse across multiple applications and projects.

CNet leads the specification and requirement work for the 10+ use cases, contributing to the development of use cases for district heating and smart buildings.

Apart from reducing the power consumption of sensors, the project will also demonstrate cost reductions, optimised asset management and improved comfort levels for building occupants.

Stöd energiforskare att samla in data

Peter Rosengren 8th May 2023

Vårt dotterbolag Checkwatt deltar i ett Europeiskt forskningsprojekt, EVIDENT, tillsammans med Trinity College i Dublin. Projektet arbetar med att förstå hur individer resonerar och fattar beslut i energirelaterade frågor. Denna studie syftar till att förstå hur faktorer som finansiell kunskap och kunnighet i miljöfrågor kan påverka energibeslut. Genom detta hoppas EVIDENT-projektet förstå hur man kan stödja individer att fatta bättre energibeslut och bidra till åtgärder som främjar energieffektivitet.

Om du vill hjälpa forskarna skulle vi uppskatta om du fyllde denna enkät. Det tar cirka 10 minuter. Projektet kommer lotta ut 6 stycken 350 EUR presentkort på Amazon, till de som deltar i undersökningen.

CheckHealth rolls out hypertension platform

Peter Rosengren 7th April 2023

Last week the first swedish patients started using the HSmartBPM platform for management of hypertension. HSmartBPM improves effectiveness of the treatment of hypertensive, or undiagnosed high-risk patients by collecting much more data from different sources and by maximizing the benefits of collected data by sharing of data between related actors such as healthcare experts, patients, nurses and informal caregiver under control of patients, in compliance with GDPR requirements. The platform consists of a connected weightscale, a wearable smart watch with built in blood pressure monitor and patient apps for Android and iOS together with a backend and web apps for clinicians. The Swedish patients are all located in Region Jämtland-Härjedalen, Zätagränd Hälsocentral. CheckHealth has the technical responsibility for the rollout of the platform in Sweden.

IoTBridge develops digital twin for bridge

Peter Rosengren 22nd March 2023

IoTBridge has developed a digital twin that is connected to a bridge monitoring system. The digital twin replicates the health status of the physical bridge and renders the continous sensor measurements from a real bridge, which is located at Bryngeån in the north of Sweden. Check out their demo video. The Building Information Model of the bridge is available in the digital twin making it possible to study individual construction details and how they are affected by train passages.

CheckWatt expands with wind power

Peter Rosengren 5th December 2022

CheckWatt has acquired SM Teknik, a technology company specialising in connecting and controlling wind power stations. After this deal CheckWatt is now monitoring 662 wind power stations with an aggregated installed power of 956 MWatt. These power stations will now be possible to connect to the rapidly growing grid flexibility market in Sweden through CheckWatts virtual power plant Currently.

This makes CheckWatt the largest technology- and supplier-independent player in operation monitoring and aggregation of flexible energy resources on the Swedish electricity market.

AI platform for CHF patients

Peter Rosengren 5th December 2022

CheckHealth together with a European consortium has won a procurement for innovative services in the healthcare sector. The CORRAL consortium will develop and deliver an integrated care platform which allows monitoring of environmental, physical and psychological patient-related variables, and continuous analysis of recorded data and care team inputs. The platform is based on an artificial intelligence system providing decision support to the multidisciplinary care tea and the provision of personalized support and education interventions allowing patients with cronic heart failure (CHF) to self-manage their diseases.

The system will be installed in five European countries – Sweden, Greece, Turkiet, Italy and Portugal.

CNet delivers the national terminology server for cyber security

Peter Rosengren 27th October 2022

Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency has launched the Swedish National terminology database for cyber security. The database contains definitions of important cyber security concepts and is searchable over the Internet. The new terminology database will harmonise cyber security concepts among all involved stakeholders in the cyber security field. The terminology system was implemented using the Termado platform from CNet.

CheckHealth collects PROMS over the phone

Peter Rosengren 22nd September 2022

Continuous data collection to understand patients health status and how they react to medication and treatment is the key to future improved healthcare. Todays solutions for this are based on either manually filling out questionnaries, use of smart phone apps or use of connected devices. These are costly for healthcare organisations and complicated for patients to use. To solve these problems Checkhealth is developing VoiceRPM – an Intelligent Digital Voice Assistant for Remote Patient Monitoring

VoiceRPM offers a cost-efficient yet naturally engaging way to ensure patients feel cared for around the clock even though carers can’t always be there. VoiceRPMs AI-powered voice dialogs allow care professionals to reach out and remotely monitor vital health values and support healthy habits for a large number of geographically distributed patients. The care organisation can easily design different questionnaries, PROMS, to collect patient reported outcomes and vital signs. VoiceRPM automatically calls the patients and collects the answers in an natural AI-driven voice conversation. The VoiceRPM digital assistant can collect the patient’s consent to contribute data and agree with the patient on a when it is a convenient time to call. The care persons only need to focus on the incoming data and how to treat the patients in the best possible way.
