Development Opportunity: Wearable Plant Health and Nutrient Sensor

Currently, Efizum’s plant health and nutrient sensors provide precise measurements of chlorophyll, nutrient levels, and overall crop status in pilot conditions. This opportunity proposes:

• Developing a wearable sensor that can be directly attached to plants for continuous, real-time monitoring.

• Ensuring seamless IoT data transmission to the Efizum platform, integrating measurements into quantum-weighted AI models for immediate agronomic recommendations.

• Validating the sensor under real field conditions to achieve TRL7, demonstrating operational functionality in actual agricultural environments.

• Preparing the platform to manage multiple wearable sensors simultaneously, enabling pilot-scale deployment before commercial production.

Expected Impact:

• Real-time monitoring of crop health with higher precision and granularity.

• Improved decision-making for irrigation and fertilisation.

• Accelerated progression toward TRL8-9, bringing the solution closer to commercial deployment.

• Positioning Efizum as a leading provider of digital agriculture solutions and wearable technologies for agrifood SMEs.
