Low-power and flexible mobile infrastructure sensing device with an integrated GSM cellular connection
MoMo (mobile monitor) is a low-power and flexible mobile infrastructure sensing device with an integrated GSM cellular connection.
MoMo is a modular remote data collection platform which can be used to retrieve sensor data and aggregate it in a central location. This data can then be used to visualize large infrastructure systems, identify weak points and individual failures, analyze trends, and inform plans for future development. It can also trigger automatic notifications to the right people should something go wrong.

Target SDGs
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
Market Suggested Retail Price
$100.00
Target Users (Target Impact Group)
Community, Public Sector Agencies, NGOs
Distributors / Implementing Organizations
MoMo is currently being piloted by WellDone.org. It partnered with WaterAid Tanzania.
Competitive Landscape
Direct competitors include SWEETSense Technologies and AFD-1 Water Flow Sensor.
Manufacturing/Building Method
The MoMo is currently manufactured in low-volumes as part of the piloting process. Manufacturing methods include 3D printing of MoMo enclosures that integrate with water pumps. Off-the-shelf components are used such as the PolyCase's NEMA 4x-rated waterproof enclosure WP-21F. The MoMo operating system is open-source and all documentation is available for users.
Intellectural Property Type
Open-source
User Provision Model
The MoMo is still in the piloting stage. However, users may contact the design team or sign up for updates on the release. Alternatively, users may build their own version of the MoMo with the provided guidance.
Distributions to Date Status
Unknown.
Design Specifications
Technical Support
Unknown, however as an open-source solutions users are equipped with troubleshooting guidelines and substantial design details enabling self-support.
Replacement Components
Available for purchase via online retailers.
Lifecycle
Unknown
Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters
Performance Targets include:
Vetted Performance Status
Unknown, however experts advise that an important performance parameter to take into account is the average battery life for different samples frequencies. Additionally, it is useful to consider the network topology used to connect sensors to the central point to estimate the complexity of the deployment.
Safety
No hazards listed.
Complementary Technical Systems
Unknown.
Academic Research and References
Compliance with regulations
None.
Evaluation methods
Field trials.
Other Information
MoMo received funding from the World Bank. MoMo is the 2015 Winner of the Vodafone Wireless Innovation Project Competition. Experts state that the solution requires infrastructure in order to be deployed in isolated areas. It can be complemented with multihop networks with technologies like ZigBee or Bluetooth.

Not much here to react to. the photo does not match the description of a 4-wheeled vehicle with a solar panel. However both seem to describe something used for outdoor mobility vs indoor mobility–moving around the community vs. inside a home or inside a bathroom stall. if this is true they should define their user group more carefully as people who are comfortable walking / crawling / being carried indoors (example: amputee who walks indoors with crutch, polio survivor who crawls, child with a caregiver) or need a device indoors as well (example: spinal cord injury) but have an additional separate mobility device they use indoors.
All in all, there is not enough information about this device to include it alongside actual products.

it could be interesting to know how is the network topology used to connect sensors to the central point. Understanding that with GSM/GPRS centralized (star) and large-coverage topology is used, an important additional performance parameter to take into account is the AVERAGE BATTERY LIFE for different samples frequencies.
Yoo-Yoo Yeh says:
Hello – Were any research studies on efficacy and behavioral change carried out using this sensor? It looks like the sensors have all stopped working – is there any plan to replace the batteries and keep them going?
Who would be a good person to contact about this project? Thank you very much.
