Case study
'Designing a life-changing service, led by local communities'
Across the world, humanitarian organisations are under pressure due to increasing numbers of disaster management responses. As a result, they must find new ways to scale up their impact. The American Red Cross partnered with frog to explore the application of IoT interventions in urban slums.
This project focused on connected heat sensors that reduce the frequency and devastation of shack fires in urban slums.
