IBM recently hosted a three-day event in Egypt"Hackathon Cairo" in partnership with "RiseUp" which aims to stimulate and encourage Challenge spirit among young developers and innovators by presenting their ideas and projects Creative together create solutions that can help mitigate the effects Natural disasters related to floods, droughts and water scarcity in Egypt, with Focus on community health and wellbeing as IBM looks forward to finding a system
Integrated to anticipate the ideas of developers and emerging companies to become projects TechnoLife is able to compete in the market and benefit from the expertise and techniques The company and obtain the necessary financing to start its business in a commercial manner.
Where 8 teams of university students competed and teams reviewed their applications And their technical solutions can help mitigate the effects of natural disasters Related to floods, droughts and water scarcity in Egypt, with emphasis on health Community The contestants were evaluated by 8 referees, Michel Pelosso, SVP, Digital Sales Chief Marketing Officer "IBM" Wael Abdulush, General Manager IBM Egypt, Sharif Makhlouf Representative of the American University, Randa Munir Advisor
Environment, Sabine Hall represented by IBM, Ayman Ibrahim Cairo water week, Elisa McLean IBM, Sherif Aziz Representative of Rise up and Rasha Marzouk UNICEF and Nahal Hanafi for the Red Crescent.
Water conservation
Where the team "Cantalopa", consisting of 4 students, won the first prize where The development of an application has been provided in water through "earned points" whenever The percentage of water used has been provided by setting standards and standard consumption for each Geographically, an individual can redeem points by buying other items or by means of them Donate them or obtain coupons or shopping cards according to the Minister of Irrigation The per capita share of renewable water will see a significant decline by 35% of the share of one person of water in Egypt by 2035 is increasing Egypt is expected to experience water scarcity.
Find Natural Resources
While the GreenLife team used a simplified idea to collect data Related weather and use IBM cloud during the process to shorten it Time and make Egypt secure by 2026 and the idea related to the collection of private data Weather to find natural resources for power generation and simple cost to the government However, weather changes are observed in the case of data collection.
The "hacker" team introduced their application "sa2ya", a special application It monitors the water consumption in each apartment but must be installed for each apartment Water meter IBM technologies were used to save information resulting from consumption The purpose of the application is that the user can monitor its use of Water through the meter associated with the application and guide its use.
Control of water pumps
The Innovators team introduced an application to control the water pumps in case This is caused by the use of IBM cloud and Iot services. Pumps are connected to the application online and reduce pumping If there is an excess load in the water or if there is something that requires reform The application alerts and comes with an alarm.
The "eco" team noted that Egypt could implement water by 2025 and apply It depends on the modified genes of the rice and reduces the rate of water intake by Crops are compared to other genes and data are loaded into computing Cloud and compare it to another and we can adjust the crop to accept a small quantityOf water or use of salt water.
Organizing the role of volunteers
The "hodhod" team provided a community-based toolkit to assist volunteers To respond to disasters such as floods where the team used the flood of Alexandria (In Egypt) as an incentive, but the application can be used to support volunteerism in a group A variety of natural disasters. The "HDHD" team provides a standard platform Use by volunteers and entities such as relief organizations and government enables Volunteer Volunteer Toolkit to see places they need most The platform provides a unified dashboard that provides a comprehensive view of what is happening Decision-making is supported by facts behind the scenes. The application detects Natural disasters are expected using Watson Machine Learning by analysis
Feeders of unmanned aerial vehicles.
It uses computer vision to analyze patterns and disaster level. Used processing Natural Language (NLP) to analyze Twitter and Facebook activity to see if they are There is a disaster.
While the "x solution" team introduced an application to monitor the water levels inFloods and by forecasting when data can be analyzedExtracted and loaded to the cloudant and in the event of flooding is provided A map of the nearest hospital is also the nearest safe place away from the floodThe application is considered to monitor the level of water in the flood and predict when it can occur.
