The Swedish Embedded Award has been awarded for the tenth time.<\/p>\n

The winners were announced at \u201dThe Embedded Party\u201d held in conjunction with the Embedded Conference Scandinavia on 2-3 October at Stockholm International Fairs. Overall, all of this year\u2019s entries were of a very high standard and the jury had a tough task in selecting the winners from a total of 11 nominated entries.<\/p>\n

The prize is awarded in three categories: Enterprise, Student and Micro\/Nano. This anniversary year, the jury also awarded an honorary prize. The winning student contribution is also awarded a scholarship of SEK 50,000, in addition to diplomas, plaques and honors.<\/p>\n

The Swedish Embedded Award has been established to showcase the possibilities of embedded technology \u2013 built-in systems, i.e. using electronics to create smarter products and solutions that can create new opportunities and increase growth for Sverige AB.<\/p>\n

This year's winner:
\n<\/strong>Miris AB and Prevas AB won the "Enterprise" category, with the entry Miris Liquid Analyzer,
\nRobert B\u00e4ckstr\u00f6m and Isak Ladeborn from Halmstad University won the \u201dStudent\u201d category with their entry Smartbeat. Mikael Schwartz, from Ume\u00e5 University won the \u201dMicro\/Nano\u201d category with their entry Sound Locator and Heliospectra AB received the Jury's Honorary Award for their entry HELIO L4A.<\/p>\n

More about the winners:<\/p>\n

Liquid Analyzer \u2013 Proper nutrition for premature babies
\n<\/strong>This year's Enterprise Category award was won by Miris AB and Prevas AB, who developed the first portable instrument for milk analysis. The instrument is used both in healthcare to analyze breast milk and provide premature babies with proper nutrition, and in agriculture to optimize milk production and pay dairy farmers fairly.
\nIn this case, Miris AB is the product owner, while Prevas AB is the development partner. Tony Malmstr\u00f6m from Miris AB took the opportunity in his acceptance speech to praise Prevas for their very fast development work.<\/p>\n

Smart beat \u2013 Train with your phone
\n<\/strong>The Student Prize (Student Category) was won by Robert B\u00e4ckstr\u00f6m and Isak Ladeborn from Halmstad University. Their entry, Smartbeat, makes it much easier to use your smartphone for training. The product consists of a smartphone bracelet with heart rate monitoring that connects to the phone via the headset connector. An app on the phone provides voice feedback that tells you whether the training is being performed at the right or wrong intensity.<\/p>\n

Sound locator \u2013 \u201dSee\u201d sound without hearing<\/strong>
\nMikael Schwartz from Ume\u00e5 University won the Micro\/Nano Category award with his Sound Locator. It is an advanced handheld aid for the deaf and hard of hearing. The Sound Locator shows what sounds are in the environment and where they are coming from. The device is small and a graphic display shows the strength, direction and, if desired, also the frequency content of the sounds. In order to receive the Micro\/Nano award, the product must contain micro\/nanosystem technology, in this case MEMS microphones.<\/p>\n

HELIO L4A \u2013 Optimize plants with light
\n<\/strong>This year, an honorary award was also presented. Heliospectra AB was recognized for its contribution HELIO L4A. The contribution is based on research that shows that all plants react differently to light and that it is possible to optimize desirable properties by changing the color spectrum, intensity and lighting times. Helio L4A is an energy-efficient LED-based lighting system where all these parameters can be remotely controlled and programs can be set up depending on the desired properties. In this way, for example, taste and appearance can be changed and waste can be minimized, which is very valuable in industrial cultivation.<\/p>\n
