We found the need for a solution that would be more proactive and reactive to its users, since the already available solutions did not fulfil this. Through interviews with caretakers, caregivers, families members and massive market research we found that a solution have to be created that involved all parties. This was created through the means of a technological wristband that measured the health signals connected to a smart phone that gave an overviewed analysis of the users health. The system reacted when it saw diseruptions in the health, in which caretakers and families could act upon. This resulted in VIGAVI: an optimised security solution for the elderly, their families and caregivers. This evolved to the start-up in which we competed in Sweden's biggest entrepreneurial competition and got reworded for best pitch and business plan.Linkshttp://www.usbe.umu.se/om/nyheter/nyhetsvisning/usbe-studenter-i-regionsfinal-i-venture-cup.cid251640http://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/venturecup/pressreleases/norrlands-baesta-affaerside-vinner-100-000-kronor-1152264http://www.affarerinorr.se/nyheter/2015/maj/ingen-fraan-norrbotten-till-venture-cup-finalen/#.Wc5Oimi0OUkVideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnWHIzChBJE Show less

Companies had invested big amount of money to managed their lights infrastructure through technology. Still figures showed that 26 % of the electric bill is based on lightning. This results in a middelsized company spends around 300.000 SEK every year on this post, only for the electricity. To solve this problem we talked to professors and engineers and came up with a product that decrease the electric cost on lightning with 80 % (240.000 SEK) Lightcycle is a sustainable, comprehensive solution for companies and government institutions that involves the retrofitting of old lamp fixtures, the installation of our new modern systems, and not so we will recycle the old lamp fixtures. We provide high quality maintenance and service to our customers, and perhaps most importantly, we inform all companies about today's problems and how they can make a difference. We provide our customers with long-term, economical and environmentally friendly products.The uniqueness of our systems lies in the fact that they are equipped with solar cells that illuminate the lgiht indoors, meaning, they are partly powered by themselves Thanks to this we can save up to 80% of the electricity costs.Solar cells are simple, proven and also environmentally friendly. They are easy to install, they are maintenance-free and have a long service life, and from the first day they contribute to lower electricity costs and improve the company's environmental profile.The lamps are also equipped with smart lighting that adapts to the conditions both inside and out.The lights detect if there are people in the room and adjust their own brightness to the brightness of the outdoors. So you dont need to worry about the light switch or having the lights to bright when there is already enough natural light in the room. LightCycle, sustainable investment for companies Show less
