Milbotix is the award-winning care-tech start-up behind SmartSocks™ - an innovative line of sock-based wearables designed for people with dementia and other conditions which affect communication. Recognising pain and anxiety early can improve wellbeing and prevent behavioural escalations. The Milbotix SmartSocks™ alert dementia carers to early signs of distress and are being developed with funding from Alzheimer’s Society, the UK’s leading dementia charity. Socks are more familiar than wrist-worn devices and less likely to be rejected. SmartSocks™ embed comfortable sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms developed through academic research at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, the UK’s largest multidisciplinary robotics research facility.

Developed a vehicle Telematics solution for heavy vehicles and marketed it to multiple B2B customers in Japan and Indian market. Utilized a global supply chain, sourcing hardware components from China and software from India. Traveled extensively to China, Korea, Singapore, India etc for vendor evaluation and marketing.Also provided product development and sales consultancy to customers across diverse geographies like Japan, UK and US, with a focus on small & medium enterprises.

The architecture was based on Extensions for Financial Services (XFS), an API for accessing devices like printers in systems like ATM machines. It provides an asynchronous, event driven interface to hardware in a vendor independent manner. The project involved implementation of the full standard on Linux platform. Personal responsibility involved leading the team through design from onsite and customer consultancy and communication throughout the project duration. Also developed the Linux USB device drivers needed for the architecture.

ORGANISATION:www.nestsoftware.comRESPONSIBILITIES: • Weekly Planning and Tracking of the team• Ensuring process adherence• Periodic reporting to upper management• Technical Architect for the concerned module• Reviews of Design, Code and Test plans• Resolving customer reported issues and maintenancePLATFORMS/TOOLS: Windows DDK/FileSys Kit, Lineo Embedix SAMPLE PROJECT: The solution envisioned partitioning the physical memory of a Win2K/NT machine and running another embedded OS concurrently to enhance file access security. Each file access was hooked by a Windows file system filter driver and passed to the second OS for validation checks. The second OS was selected to be an embedded, customized version of Linux. The product was finally certified at EAL 3 under ISO 15408 /Common Criteria security evaluation.
