Description
Selective Humans solution is a product that creates, develops, maintains and markets comprehensive information services in the form of software solutions that enable users of the service to scan unique food and food supplements ID (barcode or other), using smart devices, to identify and choose or avoid selected ingredients.
The service will, in its entirety, aim to display information quickly and easily, as well as to build on real-time information. The goal is to establish and maintain a database of ingredients and nutritional values in all pre-cooked foods in the Icelandic market. In parallel with the construction and development of the database, Selective Humans will develop smart applications for consumers as part of their software solution.
Furthermore, the partnership with MATIS will provide the same serial identification for ISGEM and the Selective Human database, so that both can be used to calculate the consumption of the population of a variety of foods when it comes to dietary research. Lastly, the smartphone is today the most widely used interface, and unique identifiers can e.g. be in the form of a barcode, QR code, RFID or other machine-readable identifiers. Efforts will be made to adapt the solution to innovation in technology.
Workshop Reflections
Margret pointed out what she learned and want to apply in her life from the first workshop on Personal Leadership. She said:
“Sharper focus, better listening skills, prioritization in a busy life (big rocks, small rocks). Loved the positivity, micro-pauses and the emphasis on good sleep.”
For the Design Thinking workshop, she said:
“Got us thinking about our services and business case on a different level and from more angles than before. We also had to revise some previous assumptions. Very helpful pointers and working sheets.”займ безработным круглосуточно
