Tech With Purpose News

Today there’s a few micro-themes to the TechWithPurpose news: AgriTech Robots, Green Transportation (including and exclusive funding announcement), Health & the NHS. Plus a fascinating set of SDG framework extensions to make the UN SDGs more approachable for jobseekers and an opportunity to meet and pitch to green tech investors.

AgriTech Robots

Tom, Dick and Harry go farming

Well, actually it’s Wilma, Tom and Dick, the weed destroying robot tag team. This British robotics company has created a suite of robots and controllers to locate and destroy weeds in crops. This has got to be a better way than blindly blanketing everything with chemicals. Read more here.

Exclusive: Weed-whacker Robot Grabs Cash

Another AgriTech chemical-alternative robot helper Odd.bot just closed a €750k funding round. This helps them start their first paid pilots this month with the ‘Weed Whacker’ robot.

Health & NHS

Heart Scans Battle Pandemic backlog

This is the first technology I’ve seen that is flagged as helping “solve the post COVID 19 backlog”. I expect to see a lot more. This tech turns CT scans into 3D models and help determine heart disease in less than an hour. The tech, HeartFlow, is expected to be used to help 100,000 patients before before 2024 Read more here.

Music to heal

AI startup, MediMusic is in trials with the NHS to prove that AI curated playlists can help reduce heart reat and blood pressure, leading to better clinical outcomes for patients. Apparently dementia patients saw reductions of up to 22% in their heart rate and that it could cut some NHS departments costs by a quarter. Read more here.
