Triggerwarnung: In diesem Podcast geht sprechen wir über Unfälle im Haushalt und deren Folgen bis hin zum Versterben der Betroffenen. Du kennst das: Die Glühbirne deiner Deckenlampe hat den Geist aufgegeben. Du schnappst dir einen Stuhl und wechselst sie aus. Wenn du Glück hast, leuchtet die Lampe nachher wieder. Wenn du Pech hast, landest du mit einer Sturzverletzung im Krankenhaus. Dieser Unglücksfall passiert in der Schweiz pro Jahr ca. 16'000 Mal. In zehn Prozent der Fälle versterben die Verunglückten an den Folgen des Sturzes. Meistens betrifft das Seniorinnen und Senioren, die allein leben und deshalb keine Hilfe holen können. Energie Wasser Bern (EWB) hat sich genau für dieses Problem eine intelligente Lösung ausgedacht. Mit ihrem Angebot Siima (Sicherheit im Alltag) stellen sie ein passives, unsichtbares System zur Verfügung, mit dem anhand der Nutzung des Hausstroms festgestellt wird, ob alltägliche Aktivität im Haushalt besteht oder nicht. Erfolgen die üblichen Aktivitäten nicht, werden die hinterlegten Kontaktpersonen informiert und können so für Hilfe sorgen, sollte ein Notfall eingetreten sein. Wie Siima genau funktioniert, ob das Produkt auch für deine Eltern oder Grosseltern im Ausland funktioniert und wie Siima die Daten ihrer Kunden schützt, erklärt Dominik Hanisch, Innovation Manager bei der Energie Wasser Bern (EWB) in dieser Folge des InnoPodcasts. Dominik Hanisch hat BWL und Marketing an der Polygrafischen Akademie studiert und hat seinen Master in Business Innovation an der Hochschule für Wirtschaft in Zürich abgeschlossen. Er war lange bei BernMobil angestellt, zuletzt als Leiter Markt- und Produktmanagement.
