The Asthma Guardian by Resmonics is a system to help asthmatics gain more control over their condition. According to a recent Tech Acute report: […]
Is this website slowly becoming a birder’s haven? Maybe if you’re a birder who is also interested in technology. First, we blogged about how biomimetic studies of the Northern Goshawk were used to create a more adaptable drone. Now, we’re seeing something more immediately-applicable in the real world, and it’s all thanks to owls. Research […]
The term ‘biomimicry’ sort of goes hand-in-hand with wellness and calm. After all, biomimicry is often used to solve problems like employee satisfaction and productivity with calming, nature-based methods, such as bioluminscent lighting. But what about the other practical scenarios where a less-comforting solution is required? There’s absolutely nothing comforting about this robotic tongue, as […]
Biomimicry has proven itself capable of soothing stressed employees’ minds and having potential lighting applications. Now, it’s being used to re-engineer drone flight. You could argue that engineers have looked to the wings of birds for inspiration even hundreds of years before the first airplane successfully took flight. But, of course, drones are still relatively […]
Bioluminescence is the science of tiny, light-emitting plankton — and it might be a source of sustainable, zero-energy lighting if harnessed at scale. That’s what PyroFarms hopes for, anyway. A report from Grit Daily recently covered the company. It explored how they harness bioluminescent dinoflagellates, the glowing things, to create small, focused light sources which […]
Scenario: your mobile workforce is performing, but they may experience a range of lighting conditions depending on their individual home environments, some of which are not conducive to concentration or overall wellness. They need brighter desk lamps, and in some cases, could even benefit from options which change in color temperature throughout the day. What would […]
The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras will offer an elective course on biomimicry in its upcoming semester. For those who aren’t familiar, the concept of biomimicry aims to emulate nature and its patterns as a means to solve problems and care for humans. We’ve seen some early adopters use biomimicry and other techniques to keep their […]
Many businesses and schools will soon be welcoming employees back to work and campus. Do you have a plan and the right digital tools in place to communicate the new health protocols?
Wellness technology has been trending lately, even before COVID-19 started impacting employee wellness. These wellness initiatives are fairly common today, as over six in 10 organizations responding to XpertHR’s 2020 Employee Wellness Survey indicated they either have a formal program in place, or run wellness initiatives without a formal program. “There is a greater need […]
