Selected plans propose solutions for rural environment, smart cities and health
The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) released the result of the call for the selection of pilot Internet of Things (IoT) projects launched in June last year. The selection was focused on supporting solutions implemented by public or private non-profit technological institutions within the focus of each of the following environments: smart cities, rural environment and health.
Although the initial budget outlook was R$ 15 million, the high quantity and good level of the projects led the development bank's board to approve an expansion of the budget to R$ 30 million. As a result, it was possible to select 15 pilot project plans from 11 institutions, covering all focuses of the call. Investments total R$ 88 million and the BNDES 'contribution to each one will be limited to 50% of the total value of each plan.
"There are projects for monitoring hypertensive patients, with childhood obesity and cancer, and also for monitoring assets, such as oxygen cylinders" (Carla Reis, manager of the BNDES Industrial Complex and Health Services Department)
The selected plans cover all regions of the country and propose solutions based on IoT linked to topics such as efficiency of lighting networks and use of images and data in real time in public security; traffic light optimization; increasing rural productivity through pest management and forecasting the microclimate; optimization of machinery management in the field; monitoring of animal health and welfare through sensors; automation of hospital management and remote monitoring of patients with hypertension, obesity, cancer and sleep disorders, in addition to the remote diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy.
