+ In one sentence, tell us about your idea.
Visualfy uses technology to improve the accessibility of public buildings for deaf people, people with hearing loss and anyone in special acoustic situations, such as the use of headphones or hearing protection.
+ Describe your ideal collaborative partner or partners.
We would be interested to get know if : A)There are government programs to support my idea B) Meet partners through which our technology can be distributed. Those partners should know the market we would be targeting
+ What is the most immediate or most pressing challenge you're facing right now?
Meet partners through which our technology can be distributed. Those partners should know the market we would be targeting
+ What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?
With our technology, we provide safety, autonomy and communication aids to people who are deaf or hard of hearing wherever they go.
+ What makes your idea innovative? Why has no one ever done it before?
We have created an artificial intelligence algorithm that mimics the human ear, recognizing relevant sounds such as a fire alarm, a shift change bell, and even various machinery, to display them as colored light signals in building lighting and on personal devices such as a mobile phone or a smartband.
We also incorporated a new real-time voice-to-text transcription functionality, reducing the barriers that masks are creating by making lip-reading impossible or helping all users to better understand public address messages.
+ Who will benefit the most from your idea?
There are 3 great beneficiaries of our technology:
- The building that installs the technology
- The workers who work in that building.
- Customers (especially deaf people, with hearing loss or in a special acoustic situation)
+ Ideally, when would you launch this idea?
I've already launched my idea
+ Indicate which UN goals your idea relates to?
Reduced Inequality Sustainable Cities and Communities Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Good Health and Well-being Peace and Justice Strong Institutions Partnerships to achieve the Goal
+ At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea relate to these three categories?
We improve people's lives and impacts on the reduction of inequalities, health and alliances to achieve the objectives.
There are more and more people with hearing loss and there are many sound inputs that we have in our day to day, on which many of our actions depend.
Helping these people to be more secure, autonomous and with a greater capacity for communication, without a doubt we have an impact on them directly, on the planet in a global way and on the benefit that this entails.
