Clevertar

Clever avatars for innovative aged care
Clevertar is a Flinders University spin-out company that is pioneering the use of relational agents, or ‘clever avatars’ as personal assistants. Research has found that when people interact with an intelligent, talking character, they take notice of the information given, understand it better, and are more likely to respond favourably. ‘Clever avatars’ are therefore behaviour-changing and a potentially revolutionary computer interface. Clevertar’s first product is a virtual personal assistant for older people, to help service providers and families support people to remain independent. This is currently in trial at two Adelaide service providers.

GeoMoby

Proximity platform for mobile apps
The GeoMoby platform is a geofencing based messaging system that enables developers and businesses to interact and learn from their mobile users. Our cloud-based platform relies upon a plugin being installed into an existing or new mobile application in order to extract anonymous location data. When a GeoMoby powered phone enters a geofence (a virtual boundary around a geographical location), it reports back to the cloud and our rules-engine determines if it's appropriate to send the mobile user a message or send a request to a server. It can be anything from coupons, automatic payments to tourist information. Any time and anywhere.

GoFar

Cutting car costs through informed driving
Our mission is to cut car costs by making drivers more informed about their choices at the most relevant times.

The team is strong - a silver medalist in India’s national Maths Olympiad, a rocket scientist and an MBA who's built marketing teams on three $100m start-ups.

First, we'll help drivers cut the 20% that is wasted on fuel through poor driving styles.

Next we're targeting insurance, (where safe drivers currently subsidize poor ones), and servicing (where mechanics currently hold all the cards).

Our approach will be fun and engaging and we hope to save lives as well as dollars.

Intelligent Fleet Logistics

Vehicle routing and scheduling optimisation

LEAPIN Digital Keys

A smartphone enabled access control system
LEAPIN has built a smartphone enabled access control system. The system is sometimes referred to as a smartlock or a digital keys system or smartphone keys or a controlled lock. LEAPIN’s system performs all the same functionalities of typical time-controlled keycard systems (RFID and mag-stripe) but without any supporting on-site network infrastructure. Therefore it can be delivered for around one-tenth of the price of existing keycard systems. LEAPIN systems can be installed in hospitality (Hotels, Resorts etc.) offices, people’s homes, and public institutions such as Universities. As LEAPIN is a standalone system it can also be installed in environments where keycard systems can’t typically go – such as car rentals, sporting facilities, and lockers/furniture (e.g. where there is no onsite power).
