Can AI Prevent Wildfires? Absolutely

In just 7 months, Italy's wildfires burned an area equivalent to 95,000 soccer fields. That's the devastating reality faced by Italy in 2023, and it's a story happening worldwide.
But what if we could stop fires before they even start?
What if we told you that the future of wildfire prevention fits in the palm of your hand?
That's exactly what Omdena did. We partnered with Dryad and built an AI-powered early wildfire detection system.
Our team of 50 engineers built a cutting-edge system using IoT mesh networks and AI algorithms to detect wildfires at their earliest stages.
Here's where it gets mind-blowing: Our AI doesn't just detect fire; it understands it.
By analyzing data from environmental sensors, we developed a model that identifies fire hotspots with unprecedented accuracy, even differentiating between types of wood.
These solar-powered gas sensors detect fires within minutes, drastically reducing response times and preventing widespread damage.
Since implementation, our technology has prevented numerous fires, saved thousands of hectares of forest, and even helped Dryad secure €10.5m in Series A funding. And the best part?
Our technology has wide-ranging applications like:
-In healthcare, it can power wearable devices for early detection of heart issues.
-In smart cities, it can optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion.
-In finance, it can enhance fraud detection systems, spotting unusual patterns in real time. And a lot of other industries like Manufacturing, Autonomous Vehicles, Telecommunications and Retail.
