Neurotech Launches AI-Driven Smart Controller to Optimize Electricity Use in Refugee Camps


Neurotech has unveiled an AI-powered smart controller designed to optimize electricity consumption in refugee camps and affected communities, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted power supply.

The system, launched on Tuesday, divides electricity into two distinct lines: one dedicated to high-priority needs, and the other for lower-priority demands. This innovative approach allows for the setting of maximum limits for each line, tailored to the available electricity and the specific requirements of each refugee family based on their size and needs.

The company emphasized that this initiative addresses the growing demand for continuous power in refugee camps and vulnerable communities. By leveraging AI technologies, Neurotech aims to offer groundbreaking solutions that manage and control electricity consumption rates more effectively within these environments.

Hiba Asaad, Co-founder and CEO of Neurotech, highlighted that the solution ensures that essential power needs are met first, with any surplus directed
to secondary loads. The system utilizes smart algorithms that dynamically update the maximum load limits, adapting to the changing needs of individuals and families.

She stressed that the company’s mission is rooted in the belief that technology can significantly enhance the quality of life for those most in need, and expressed hope that their efforts will soon extend to more camps and communities globally.

Asaad also noted that Neurotech began its work in refugee camps in 2020 after participating in the “Energy Hackathon” in Jordan. The event aimed to discover innovative methods to boost energy efficiency in homes and reduce electricity consumption through smart solutions for monitoring and management.

The company’s statement highlighted its success in Jordan’s Azraq camp, where the smart controller increased electricity availability in homes from 9 hours to 24 hours daily, significantly improving the quality of life for many refugees and their families.

A key component of Neurotech’s system is the integ
ration of blockchain technology, which enhances the efficiency of energy demand management during peak times and ensures the safe and effective distribution of resources. This technology has proven to be a crucial element in improving living conditions in underprivileged communities.

Founded in Jordan in 2018, Neurotech aims to ensure equitable energy distribution in refugee camps and assist humanitarian organizations in reducing electricity costs. The company’s approach involves separating critical loads, such as medical devices and lighting, from less essential loads like air conditioning and electric heating.
