Rural IoT
This system consists of supporting all the people in the poorest areas of the world by improving their quality of life through the IoT.
The lack of security and discomfort in the poorest rural areas of the world since, according to the UN, there are more than 40% of the world population (3,000,000 million people) living in these areas, having many deficiencies, with more More than 80% of this population lives in extreme poverty and with too many problems to combat, such as insecurity, housing that is not suitable for living, lack of food, education, and medical and first aid services in case of emergencies.
There are different factors in the rural area that cause insecurity such as the lack of opportunities and education and on many occasions the people who work to build their homes lose it due to malicious people or due to some environmental factor (Hurricanes, volcanic activity among others). and sometimes the most affected are the humble homes of the world and the people who live in them
The IoT (Internet Of Things) over the years is a term that has gained a lot of popularity due to the security and comfort it provides, but we always look at it in places of people with adequate economic capacity to be able to place said services. And they will wonder how we can implement home automation systems in rural areas? and the solution is the implementation of bluethoot since in rural areas more than 70% of people do not have internet access and most of the phones they have are very old phones and the only thing that allows is to use bluetooth
The solution is to be able to help people in the poorest areas of the world with the tools they have in their hands and without having to make another investment, since we want it to be used on all kinds of devices. We seek to automate and secure their homes through a solution controlled by bluethoot, sustainable and friendly to the user and the planet in terms of cost and electricity consumption, the solution allows the user to have motion, temperature, Gas, Humidity and pressure sensors and these will notify the user when something is not going well in their homes by means of an alarm, in the same way the user will be able to have control of their appliances such as fans, lights and in case of living on crops and planting power, know the status of their crops through your cell phone. For an affordable price and looking that everyone can use
To the more than 3 million people who live in marginalized areas of the world and who work every day to seek a better quality of life for themselves and their families, since they are more than 40% of the world population and live with many deprivations . and one of them is insecurity and discomfort in their homes and what little they have is often lost.
This solution will help you alleviate a bit of the uncertainty of what will happen to my home when I go to work and it will notify you when something is not right in your home and its surroundings so that the authorities and people can act in time and manage to save things that they have, as well as that they will be able to enjoy a home automation system that will provide them with comfort and security in their homes and will take care of their belongings and on some occasions of small children, people who cannot fend for themselves who stay in these homes and in a problem they can't do something
Throughout 4-5 years I have been making social visits to very marginalized areas of Guatemala, areas where there are many problems and one of them is the lack of security in these areas and who live in inhospitable places, for example in the tracks of volcanoes and when the volcano is active these people lose their homes and sometimes their families, as I have researched since I really like to help people who are marginalized by life situations and I always seek to help these people to the extent of my possibilities doing projects providing clothes, food and books in the form of help to these people
I have visited schools in these places and spoken with children and young people from these areas who report that they must be very careful at home because at any moment they can enter and steal what little they have and with a lot of effort they and their parents have worked
The solution has been presented to many professionals and people in the area, showing them how it works and its benefits, and they report that this would be a great help to their homes and keep them safe when they are inside and outside. of that
Before the development of the solution, a very in-depth investigation was carried out and we were even able to talk to some people in the area and ask them what their needs are in their home and carry out studies of the conditions of their home in which it can be clearly seen. How are solutions like these needed in rural areas?
- Other: Addressing an unmet social, environmental, or economic need not covered in the four dimensions above.
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model
Because home automation systems is a paradigm which we usually look at in places where there are people with a good economic capacity due to its high cost of installation and maintenance and no one ever imagines that home automation can reach rural areas and areas marginalized and on top of that the solution is friendly to the environment since many home automation solutions imply high energy consumption, something that with Rural IoT
I hope that with this project the doors will be opened to people who need it and that many people, companies and governments invest in these areas since I consider that it is a long-term solution which can end crime and poverty in the world and that many more join the initiative to improve the quality of life of these people
My objectives for next year is to automate even 50 houses in the rural area and I will achieve it by trying to contact companies with some type of work or social responsibility, more than all those whose workers are working in the rural area as well as I will also try to seek support from the government economically and also to be able to reach more people and start in places where insecurity rates are too high and thus be able to lower these rates and so on and to be able to achieve my goal, which is to automate the rural area. in Guatemala and then escalate to do it worldwide
As a last resort, it would be to seek help from people through a collection of beneficial NFTS (Non-token-fungible) for the benefit of project support, installation and maintenance.
The technology that I am using is the Internet of things to automate and secure homes through sensors and electronic cards which allow said project to be carried out
As in the future, in case of not getting support from companies and governments, the use of NFTS (No-token-Fungible) to achieve the implementation of the project
- Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
- Blockchain
- Internet of Things
- Guatemala
At this moment the solution has not been released but next year I hope to support more than 10 to 20 families to automate and secure their home as a pilot test and also how people behave and the system already put into action and also if the resources I currently have allow it
The barriers that I consider would prevent me is that I do not have the financial resources to purchase all the components that are needed, since at this moment I am doing it with my own things and currently I do not have the financial resources to purchase the raw material, Another thing that I feel is a barrier would be that some people present resistance to change at the time of project implementation
Currently I am working alone on this solution with the objective of helping people more, however I would like to associate myself with a company or association that has the same objective as mine.
The solution that we provide is a solution to help people in rural areas in their need to have their home insured since we have seen that more and more events happen which hit and even leave people homeless due to malicious people or factors natural and many times these people lose what little they have and even some of their relatives under this context we wanted to create a solution which gives security and comfort to people in rural areas which does not represent a greater investment than necessary since it is so friendly that anyone in this area can use it
Through alliances with companies with social work, which are aligned with our objective and the government of some countries and in case this is not achieved, I will use blockchains through a collection of charitable NFTS that will serve to support the project and that People who want to join the initiative and help do so through it and through crownfounding in order to achieve our objectives and that people also contribute to the cause and help people
