Product

Meersens is the first ever solution (an app and IoT technology) to leverage artificial intelligence for health monitoring. Users can monitor their environment and be made aware of potential health hazards, including air and water quality, UV and electromagnetic waves, and noise and pesticides. The application is like Waze for health. It lets users map out all of the potential hazards in their environment, wherever they go. The results (the Meersens Risk Index, or MRI) are customized according to the user’s profile, illnesses, and standards. The MRI is backed by certified, expert recommendations to help users reduce or avoid hazards in their environment. All potential hazards are shared by the community; members can generate alerts and offer certified recommendations and solutions. IoT (the mBox, which connects to the app via BLE) further enriches the solution. The mBox’s modular endoskeleton can connect to three mSens biosensors to meet the user’s needs. The smartphone-sized device can follow users wherever they go. And, with the environmentally-friendly mSens sensors, the device is completely modular. The system adds new capabilities, like air quality and pesticide monitoring, to Meersens’ existing sensor lineup with the same products used in the same way. The artificial-intelligence-powered back end proactively identifies potential hazards and tailors the associated recommendations and solutions to the user’s profile.

L'histoire du produit

Meersens is headquartered in Lyon, France. It was founded in 2017 by engineers Morane Rey-Huet and Louis Stockreisser. Morane has lived in several different countries, including China. She was living in Shanghai, where her daughter was born right in the middle of the melamine scandalâ€"which is where she got the idea for Meersens’ unique solution. The immediate environment (air, water, food, UV and electromagnetic waves) is a source of concern when it comes to people’s health. In fact, one out of five people surveyed wish they had reliable information. A total of 13 million people die each year from exposure to hazards in their environment. The founders of Meersens feel that if they can save at least one life, their efforts are well worth it! They founded Meersens to raise people’s awareness of environment-related health issues and provide solutions. An Easytech project enabled them to overhaul the electronics and firmware in just six months with project partner ESISAR, a school of Grenoble Institute of Technology. They also completed significant work on the product’s technical documentation, structure, and testing to prepare for industrial scale-up.
