CrowdSensing is a product made using our IoTool and IoChat frameworks that allows customers to easily crowd-source any information from their users.

Crowd-sensing is an approach involving a large, spread out group of participants using mobile devices with the aim of receiving reliable data from the field. This approach has been used both in industry and multiple research studies, including traffic and road monitoring (geo-crowdsourcing), urban mobility, smart cities, social networking, healthcare, safety, environmental and ecological monitoring, and others.

The rapid emergence of mobile devices, such as smartphones and wearables, usually with a rich array of sensors, enables a new means of acquiring sensor data, known as crowd-sensing. Together with the intrinsic mobility of their users, the ability to acquire local knowledge from people’s immediate environment or even themselves is gained. Crowd-sensing is useful, not only to industry but also different research communities that have an interest in collecting a new class of data over a much larger scope of area and people than was previously possible. It is also an attractive approach for companies looking to collect data without high investment costs.

We added a new licensing option for IoChat self-hosted servers. A new type of license that allows up to 10 registered users is now available for purchase at https://iochat.io/#subscribe for personal, academic and commercial use.

For personal and academic use, the price is 100€ per year. For commercial use, the price is 200€ per year.

The IoChat Public server hosted by SenLab has been made available for free public use. Feel free to create an account and communicate with your contacts through it.

Compared to paid IoChat versions, full functionality is retained but a limit of 10 friends is placed on all registered users. Since this particular IoChat server is not self-hosted you also cannot take advantage of the enhanced privacy and security offered by the paid versions.

Don't worry, your data is perfectly safe with us anyway!

Access the web version at https://public.iochat.io or download the Android IoChat client app from Google Play.

A new version of the IoChat client application with the version number 0.1.17402 has been released on the Google Play Store.

We made several bug fixes, and performance and UI improvements.

Download the updated app from Google Play:

We have prepared two demo websites that you can explore and try at your leisure. One allows you to get acquainted with how IoChat can work for hotels and other accommodation providers and the second allows the same for healthcare providers of all types.

Both example websites represent what you might find elsewhere online and also include the IoChat Live Chat button in the bottom right corner. Feel free to try them out at the addresses listed below! If nobody is online book a demo to let us know that you are interested.
