Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE 2013
In addition to the areas of our direct technological expertise, there are many related industries, the development of which we consider to be extremely important and we are trying to promote it in every way. One of these is medicine.
Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE is a global competition whose goal is to increase the pace of implementation and use of sensors and sensor technologies to solve health problems and to revolutionize individual means of monitoring and supporting personal health. And we need you!

The sensors, which will be the result of this event, will make available the collection of amazingly effective personal health data in real time, monitor various vital signs and help optimize the use of equipment designed for sports and fitness. More information about the mission of the competition can be found on the official website .
The contest, the prize fund of which is 2.25 million dollars, is organized by the XPRIZE Foundation in collaboration with Nokia. We hope that this competition can be a starting point for the development of important technological developments that will provide people with easy access to high-quality medical data and services around the world.
The other day the names of 12 finalists of the first stage became known. The selection of 26 applications was carried out by an expert panel of representatives of leading organizations in the industry. In making the decision, the jury relied on the following qualities that the finalist project must meet:
Among the finalists were such teams as i-calQ , who created the first quantitative diagnostic tool integrated into the smartphone, and Holomic , experts in photonics and its application in mobile applications.
You can view the entire list of finalists on the Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE website .
At the end of September, representatives of all 12 teams will present their products to judges at the Health 2.0 conference in California. Winners of the first stage will be announced at the awards ceremony on the last day of Health 2.0. In total, there will be five awards in the amount of 120 thousand dollars and a grand prix - 525 thousand dollars.
Through our participation in this competition, we strive to highlight our commitment to research and innovation, and the belief that technology can improve the lives of people around the world.
“Despite the vigorous activity in the market for fitness applications, medical diagnostics and sensory technologies are still inaccessible to ordinary users,” said Henry Tirry, technical director of Nokia. “With this competition and the selection of the final teams, we are eager to see the development of applications and technologies for ordinary users who can completely change the approach to healthcare, including monitoring, prevention, diagnosis and disease management.”
Attention! Registration for the second stage is already open! All countries are invited to participate.
