VitalFusion: Blending Health and Climate Data

VitalFusion: Blending Health and Climate Data

This platform allows businesses and public bodies to deliver targeted, contextualised health interventions without the need for extensive manual monitoring. Using data from the EU Copernicus program for Earth Observation, the solution includes tools for air quality monitoring, workspace optimisation, heat stress management and predictive health analytics to proactively protect the workforce, ensure regulatory compliance and improve productivity and well-being.

For businesses, particularly in occupational health, the technology provides a detailed understanding of workplace health dynamics. It identifies health risks and implements tailored interventions to improve health outcomes, productivity, absenteeism and employee satisfaction.

Public bodies benefit from precise targeting of interventions, improved resource allocation and rapid response to health threats. This approach minimises the impact of environmental hazards and ensures relevant interventions, leading to a resilient public health infrastructure, improved community wellbeing and reduced healthcare costs.

Benefits:

  • Proactive workforce protection, increased employee satisfaction and reduced absenteeism
  • Detailed understanding of workplace health dynamics
  • Identification of health risks and tailored occupational health interventions

Harnessing Animals’ Intelligence from Space

Harnessing Animals’ Intelligence from Space

Over millennia, animals have adapted their behaviour to Earth’s unique range of ecosystems and developed advanced senses and instincts as a result. By tracking animal movements and activity patterns through a constellation of satellites, TALOS aims to provide insights into animal behaviour to complement Earth observation data for various markets.

The solution includes multiple cubesats with IoT payloads connected to lightweight tags attached to a variety of animals. The collected data includes location, altitude, acceleration, temperature, humidity and barometric pressure, providing valuable information with broad applications for understanding the impacts of climate change, tracking biodiversity loss and detecting animal and zoonotic diseases.

Developed and tested as part of the Max Planck Institute’s ICARUS initiative, the project aims to refine the payload technology for compatibility with even smaller cubesats to turn the successful research surrounding the ICARUS initiative into a viable commercial product.

Benefits:

  • Monitoring animal movements and migration patterns from space
  • Bi-directional communication between low-Earth orbit cubesats and miniature, lightweight animal tags
  • Insight into the effects of climate change, tracking of biodiversity loss and detection of animal and zoonotic diseases
  • Applications for wildlife tracking, livestock monitoring, weather information technologies and wildfire detection

Biodiversity Monitoring with Satellites and IoT Sensors

Biodiversity Monitoring with Satellites and IoT Sensors

Hula Earth helps companies comply with upcoming EU biodiversity regulations (CSRD and EU Taxonomy) by quantifying the impact of their business activities on biodiversity. Current compliance is hampered by the inability to accurately monitor and assess these impacts. Hula’s solution facilitates impact assessments across supply chains and infrastructure projects, in line with evolving standards, using satellite imagery and proprietary sensor network data.

By combining data from satellites and locally deployed IoT sensors, the solution quantifies both positive and negative environmental changes through a scalable and cost-effective approach. It provides insights into climate resilience, vegetation vigour and biodiversity values, enabling organisations to confidently navigate regulatory requirements.

By committing to sustainability and biodiversity conservation, companies can gain better and more cost-effective access to capital, ensuring compliance and unlocking opportunities for improved financial performance and investment access.

Benefits:

  • Blended approach integrating satellite and proprietary data from IoT sensor network
  • Enables companies to reliably demonstrate positive biodiversity impacts
  • Ensures compliance with upcoming EU biodiversity regulations
  • Enables eligibility for cost-effective access to capital
