We are at the peak of the curve: technology allows us to collect unimaginable amounts of data, but perhaps it is time to change course a little. Insight and focus are the new watchwords of Peter Pramstaller and Roberto Monsorno. The first one has seen a small team of geneticists grow into a team with dozens of different profiles ranging from molecular biology to statistics via bioethics, the latter leads a pioneering team of engineers and developers skilled in programming sensors and fulfilling the most unexpected wishes of research groups and companies.

Conversations between disciplines: interview with neurologist Peter Pramstaller and electronic engineer Roberto Monsorno. 

"The biggest challenge is the overabundance of information" 

Low-cost, versatile and energy-efficient sensors would make environmental monitoring in our cities more widespread and extensive. In Greece, a bikesharing company wants to expand its fleet of bicycles with low-cost sensors and use them to measure particulate matter, with benefits for both citizens and municipalities who would be able to benefit from more data on city pollution. However with innovation comes challenges and the Center for Sensing Solutions is working to solve technical aspects associated with this idea by drawing on what has already been tested in South Tyrol.
