Low-power and flexible mobile infrastructure sensing device with an integrated GSM cellular connection
MoMo (mobile monitor) is a low-power and flexible mobile infrastructure sensing device with an integrated GSM cellular connection.
MoMo is a modular remote data collection platform which can be used to retrieve sensor data and aggregate it in a central location. This data can then be used to visualize large infrastructure systems, identify weak points and individual failures, analyze trends, and inform plans for future development. It can also trigger automatic notifications to the right people should something go wrong.
Watch a presentation video of MoMo.
Designed for use in developing world countries. MoMo has been tested and presented in Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
MoMo is currently being piloted by WellDone.org. It partnered with WaterAid Tanzania.
For the pilot stage, suggested deployment costs to produce 300 devices was $30,000 USD or $100 USD/device.
Goal 6 Access to clean water, would be the most applicable
MoMo target users are local governments, aid organizations, and individual donors who need to easily check whether infrastructure projects are functioning remotely via computer or cell phone.
MoMo is open source and includes an accessible development platform, so MoMo can be used and improved by hackers and hobyists everywhere.
