The jury says

SCAUT demonstrates how data-driven innovation can be used to develop a new approach to prevention and treatment, not just for patients but, potentially, for everybody. Using an IOT solution to improve the users’ quality of life is an interesting and visionary digital design solution that promises to alter our view of health and enable a more equal partnership between citizens and the public healthcare system.
