Sotiria (gr. Σωτηρια) - the rescue
briefing SOTI s a mobile and connected device to localize buried people in war and crisis zones. the product is distributet b2b to aid organizations and states. it is made for civilians, who get temporarily together to help in urgent situations. for example the "white helmets from aleppo". SOTI doesnt replace the professional tools. field of use are war and crisis zones, like syria, mexico, iran-iraq, etc. it is not a drone, because of economical reasons. it would be more expensive and difficult to use. besides that, the danger of getting too less airtime is very high in war zones. technology the system works with electromagnetic waves, that shine through obstacles. it detects movement. An antenna sends, recieves and analyzes the waves.
started with some sketches
process if people get buried in war and crisis zones, it is very difficult to find them and get them out without injuring them more. SOTI changes the process of localizing people without real professional equipment. the group leader gets SOTI and serches for potential life in the heap of rubble. if the probability is high enough, SOTI tags the position in its intergated map and sends the position to all the other connected devices, for example the smartphones of the other rescuers. the group leader repeats the whole process again and again. he is searching for the positions and the other helpers take the people out of the gravel.
