CitiOS – A SMART CITY PROJECT RESIDENT ON BLOCKCHAIN

When “smart city” is mentioned, the focus is primarily on the city that has the best infrastructure, the best security systems, and the best coordinated citizens. Now, look around you - can you attest to living in a smart city? Only a few cities in the world today can measure up to the standards of being called “smart.” More saddening is the fact that the few cities are categorized as the “developed countries,” while those that are not are still struggling to break free from the shackles of being tagged “developing or third world countries.”

It takes some efforts to make a city “smart.” The government can handle it. But since the government decided to turn the other way to the issue, it then became imperative for the CitiOS blockchain project to develop a range of features geared towards improving the status of many countries around the world.

MAKING AFRICA A SMART CONTINENT

Many countries in the African continent are at the core of being identified with the status of “underdeveloped or developing countries.”Hence, the concentration of the CitiOSblockchain platform in that regard is a way to bring the affected countries up to the status of being recognized as one of the advanced countries. Also, it aims at expanding the fortunes of the target countries by providing sustainable power supply, quality healthcare, and real-time monitoring of activities in the affected countries.

So, if you’ve been wondering when Africa would be smart in the real sense of the world, then you’re welcome to try your hands on the CitiOS platform where the magic happens!

STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING

Our world is in great dilemma because of many challenges. From electricity issues to those of health, it is clear that Africa is many miles behind the drive for sustainable development in many parts of the world. With Africa tagging behind as one of the developing countries, it would be an arduous task for the continent to meet up with the 2030 milestone of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN).

That informs the reason why CitiOS is here to bolster the facilitation of the 17-year long goals of transforming the world. It focuses on the healthcare system in Africa through the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) program. In this case, there would be delegation of sensor networks with Artificial Intelligence (AI) backing. With that in place, it would be easier to gather information on the conditions or state of health of the healthcare infrastructures. The gesture is not unconnected to the need to verify if such infrastructures are still in good conditions to cater to the needs of patients.

Another perspective to it is the information-driven healthcare system that was launched by CitiOS. The model improves on the reduction of manual inputs, and replaces the same with IoT-powered variations that analyzes and returns information/data faster.

[The Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) [https://www.citios.io/) also extends the functionalities to natural calamities, such as earthquakes. That is essential because many people around the world today are yet to fathom the potential causes of these calamities. It is also hard to discover the damages the cause. Therefore, the delegation of the CitiOS sensor networks help in identifying the causes and the effects of those natural calamities.

CONCLUSION

The blockchain technology has come a long way since the last decade. The roles of the technology have since been extended to other sectors of the global economy. Now that it has been channeled to the infrastructural sector, we hope that it grows over the years to become one of the best smart city projects on the blockchain technology.
