“I’m Here!” To Reduce Lost Child Beach Cases

To help parents and reduce the scares of children lost on the beaches during the summer, Altice Portugal, through MEO and the Altice Foundation, in partnership with the Public Security Police (PSP), has started eighth edition of the “Estou Aqui!” (“I’m Here!”) program. “I’m Here” is an innovative program developed under the MEO Kids brand communication and awareness initiatives. Through an alphanumeric code bracelet, it allows you to quickly and effectively reach out to the parents, educators or guardians of a lost child, promoting reunion. The bracelets are free.

Artificial Intelligence in Fire Prevention

Portugal is one of the countries that suffer most from fires at this time of year. To assist in the work of identifying and fighting fires, the Portuguese company Compta created Bee2FireDetection, a fire detection service that uses the use of Watson Artificial Intelligence from IBM Portugal.

The solution is based on high definition cameras that, in real-time, collect images that are then analyzed using thermal sensors. The initiative, which constitutes a new approach to prevention systems, won the IBM Watson Build, a global multinational competition designed to accelerate and demonstrate the adoption of IBM Watson technologies and to encourage the development, demonstration and implementation of the best global solutions based on artificial intelligence.
