S9 | Okaya is transforming mental health assessment for mission-critical environments by integrating advanced geospatial technology to support proactive decision-making and readiness optimization. Okaya harnesses geospatial tools to add a crucial layer of situational awareness to mental readiness data. Our real-time assessments use AI to gauge cognitive and emotional states, delivering insights that, when combined with geographic context, allow government agencies such as the USAF to make well-informed decisions regarding personnel deployment and resource allocation. Whether it’s understanding the impact of environmental factors on team fatigue, planning safer operational zones, or prioritizing personnel based on mental readiness and geographic positioning, our approach ensures that readiness is fully integrated with the mission’s needs. By providing location-specific insights, Okaya empowers agencies to support their personnel more effectively and enhance mission success through a better understanding of the readiness landscape. | |
S10 | Metaspectral delivers the next generation of computer vision software capable of remotely identifying materials and determining their chemical composition, defects, and other properties otherwise invisible to conventional cameras. It achieves this by leveraging hyperspectral sensors and analyzing the data captured in real-time using artificial intelligence (AI) via its scalable, cloud-based platform. The software is already deployed in various industries, including aerospace, defense, agriculture, manufacturing, and more. |
