More on her journey, speaking at TEDxWelligton and the Zero Carbon Challenge PledgeMe campaign: https://www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/6226-manawa-smart-home-sensor-kit-for-community-organisations---Whare Hauora has created Manawa: a smart home sensor kit and platform that measures the temperature and humidity of rooms in homes and tells you if your home is making your whānau sick.We built Manawa specifically for whānau, so they gain insights into their health and wellbeing, via notifications and a dashboard.Our Vision is an Aotearoa where your home doesn't make you sick. But for a lot of families, knowing that your home is making you sick and having the resources to upgrade your home or access health services or even purchasing a Manawa kit are near on impossible.So Whare Hauora is running a Pledgeme campaign specifically for Community organisations that help families with housing upgrades like insulation installations or health services like respiratory illness prevention.-----------------------

Rowan Simpson - Capture, measure and share. Appropriately
14/08/2019 Duration: 39minRowan Simpson provides an episode that replicates his professional life, one of two halves. From being the first non-family member employee of TradeMe before moving on to Xero in it's early years. Since then Rowan has taken his experience and insights to many companies as investor and director, spreading the product development messages, and sharing his approach to tech business with all that are keen to hear (check out his Hoku Ideas page linked below).Why is this show akin to his professional life - it's in two parts. First part recorded at an increasingly loud and busy Roxy Cinema before we decamped to overlook the Wellington harbour and record within a much quieter place - stick with it, it's gold - especially the second half.It's an honour to have Rowan on the show, he's been a shining light within the New Zealand tech industry for many years and with his new venture, OneMetric.io we see him not only filling a "startup hole" but also guiding and passing on his knowledge one more time.- https://hoku.nz/te
