EmotiBadge is an IBM Watson powered wearable audio capture device and platform that performs voice based sentiment analytics. The proprietary algorithm that we have developed allows the detection of aggression, anger, happiness based on changes in the pitch and intonation of voice. Using IBM Watson Speech to Text service (with keyword spotting ability), the EmotiBadge can also detect the use of specific keywords. With a combination of tone analysis and keyword detection, the system can give a accurate measurement of the emotional state of people engaged in the conversation.

The EmotiBadge has applications in areas including customer service, security, mental health etc.

StickEar are sound sensors that can detect and recognize different sounds in the house. A notification will be sent to the user’s mobile device on what sound has been heard. They are like ‘ears’ that you stick around the house to help you hear, hence the name ‘Stick-Ears’.

StickEar has been trained using Artificial Intelligence to recognize and classify different sounds including door knocks, doorbells, fire alarms, glass breaking and even the sound of a baby crying.

Knoctify is an inclusive notification device that was co-designed together with the deaf community in Singapore. It helps those with hearing loss to be more aware of sound events around them by using sensors to capture these events, and translating them to visual and haptic feedback on devices deployed throughout the house to attract their attention. Knoctify consist of a sensor and receiver pair. The sensor device has a button and vibration sensor that is attached on the door.  It detects if someone is pressing on the button or knocking on the door. This wirelessly triggers a receiver device that plays a sound, flashes brightly and/or vibrates to capture the attention of a person with hearing loss.

Today, Knoctify is commercially available for sale to many countries around the world. For more information, visit www.knoctify.com
