Encore Lab, a Spanish technology firm founded in 2011, engineers and develops hardware and software with a focus on data analysis. The company operates on a project basis, engaging in proof-of-concept development, prototyping, and creating final products for clients across various sectors. While Encore Lab serves industries like energy, water treatment, and industrial processes, it has a notable specialization in agricultural technology. A key product from Encore Lab is SeizSafe, a monitoring system designed for individuals who experience epileptic seizures during sleep. Launched following an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in late 2018, SeizSafe aims to enhance the safety of affected individuals and improve the quality of life for their caregivers. The system consists of a motion sensor placed on the mattress, a camera to record seizure events, and a mobile application. When the sensor detects movements indicative of a seizure, it triggers an alert to the caregiver’s mobile app. The system provides security by enabling timely assistance, allows for greater privacy as patients and caregivers can sleep in separate rooms, and helps improve rest for caregivers who no longer need to be constantly vigilant. Additionally, all collected data and video from seizures are stored on a cloud platform, creating a historical record that can be analyzed and shared with doctors to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. In the agricultural sector, Encore Lab develops solutions that leverage agro-climatic data monitoring. The firm has created hardware for field technicians to monitor crop status and has participated in projects like SCAVIHO, which focuses on scalable vegetation indexing and harvest forecasting using artificial intelligence. Another project, «Weather Control,» developed a predictive tool for parcel-level climate parameters. This aligns with the broader trend of using digital technologies such as AI, sensors, and data analytics to provide farmers with advance warnings and detailed insights for better crop management. Encore Lab’s B2B model involves the complete lifecycle of ICT project development, from hardware and PCB design to backend/frontend software and artificial intelligence integration, delivering comprehensive solutions for its clients.
