SWEETSense Technologies
SweetSense Inc.
Sensor package that monitors usage of various humanitarian technologies.
The SWEETSense sensor technology package combines commercially available front-end sensors with a comparator circuit board that samples at a high rate and relays logged data events directly to the internet via GSM or Wi-Fi.
Data processing and visualization is provided via a supporting, internet-based software program, SWEETData.
The SWEETSense technology can be customized for specific applications including remote monitoring of water, sanitation, energy, infrastructure solutions or other applications. Remote monitoring via distributed in-situ sensors provides evidence to help inform the sector and public on the impacts of aid projects, and the on-going challenges.
