This is majorly due to lack of education, minimal community engagement and less exposure to mobile phones and mobile applications, age difference, and varying skills. To address this issue, several women self-help groups have been formed worldwide to provide the opportunity for them to engage in several livelihood activities. This paper discusses one of the proposed design for the Internet of Things based solution for empowering women in India. This solution is intended to be used by the rural cluster based organizations intended to work for the social and economic well-being of the rural community. This research details the requirements for empowering such rural community based organizations. However, the existing solutions lack the perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use; contributing to the failure of several technical innovations. This prompted us to dive deeper into insights of human centered and user centered approaches. This persuaded us in designing a human centered approach based mobile IoT solution. This paper details the key design parameters integrated for the success of this innovation and the different functionalities required for creating an effective solution for enhancing the communication, dissemination and empowerment of women self-help groups. This paper details requirements and learning’s from AmritaSREE, one of the women Self Help Groups having more than 300000 members in India. The paper also details the approaches by which this solution can be used by AmritaSREE group for achieving financial stability and self empowerment.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128873664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To help identify and characterize potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes, we utilize freely available satellite image data and software in combination with a mosquito trap system. Multispectral time-series analysis of Sentinel-2 and Landsat 5–8 satellite images of Lake Schmiechen (Swabian Alb, southern Germany), used here as a pilot and analog site for other lake and wetland areas potentially populated by malaria vector mosquitoes, reveals non-seasonal periods of flooding and drying and concomitant changes in the distribution of open shallow water. Water distribution maps are derived from spectral indices commonly used for wetland mapping (e.g., the NDWI2) and should be ground-truthed. In combination with the identification and counting of mosquitoes and the integration of other environmental parameters on-site, this approach provides a powerful tool to remotely monitor relatively small bodies and narrow networks of open shallow water that may provide habitats for mosquitoes. Combined remote sensing and on-site monitoring of potential malaria vector habitats can be implemented at low cost and with little effort in regions worldwide where the disease is established or emerging, and can be used to create or refine risk maps on small to large scales. The present approach can, moreover, complement public health programs and humanitarian efforts to fight insect-borne diseases.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123915257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hospitals located in cities like Manila, Philippines receive energy from unreliable electricity grids that primarily use fossil fuels and often experience brownouts, necessitating the need for diesel backup generators to stabilize their electrical supply. This study assessed Philippine General Hospital's opportunities to not only transition to renewable energy, but also increase energy efficiency to decrease the reliance on Manila's electrical grid and decrease their total energy costs. An analysis proved that Philippine General Hospital could achieve these goals through the installation of a solar array and a lighting retrofit. The analysis showed that instituting an LED lightbulb retrofit alone would result in a yearly seven percent decrease in electricity consumption and total of PHP 458,869,500 (almost $9 million) cost savings over an 8-year period. A ten-year net present value (NPV) analysis showed that the five differently sized solar installation scenarios would all result in a net negative value, and all net positive values over a 25-year term. This means that Philippine General Hospital would see cost savings that could be applied to increasing patient care and overall quality of facilities.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127656943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Irrespective of the sector, the business model, and the geography, every venture needs to be attuned and responsive to customer and market needs in an ever-changing operating environment. Fledgling ventures that make decisions based on real stakeholder data are more likely to meet customer needs, pivot as necessary, and ultimately succeed in scaling operations. At the same time, integrating rigorous and reliable data collection, digitization, aggregation, analysis, visualization, and reporting into venture operations can be onerous for early-stage ventures. This paper presents a case study on the data-centric model developed and implemented by Ukweli Test Strips, a social enterprise that integrates low-cost urinalysis test strips to screen women for urinary tract infection and preeclampsia into the healthcare system of Sierra Leone. Ukweli uses a lean data approach and free tools such as Google Forms and Google Sheets to integrate data-driven reporting and decision-making into its entire operations. These practical insights on building a data backbone are highly transferable to social ventures in low-resource settings.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130043861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model clusters the standalone microgrid entities and enables prosumer to prosumer (P2P) energy sharing to efficiently utilize the excess energy. The pro-posed model is simulated on a group of six standalone microgrid entities operating in Dharnai, which consists of an irrigation system, school, health centre, two colonies and a bungalow. The constraints that govern the model are custom tailored to suit the socio-economic conditions in the village, making the model a two variable optimization between load servicing performance and overall cash flow. The implementation of this model results in the farmers being benefited from a relative efficiency increase of 8.13% at no expense. The school gets a relative efficiency rise of 7.73% and also makes a substantial income of Rs.7,703.35/year while healthcare reaches an efficiency of 98.28%. The residential loads comprising of two colonies and a bungalow gets a relative improvement in their load servicing by 8.59%, 8.96% and 5.16% respectively, at a nominal expense. This proposed model is comprehensive and can be implemented in any such group of standalone microgrids by suitably varying it’s optimization constraints.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124569815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
