Sheraz and I joined another battle in the Battle of Concepts, a platform where students are asked to come up with concepts for issues for (public) organizations and the government. In every battle, prizes are divided among the top 20.

In the most recent battle, the Fund for Employment & Education asked us to come up with tools to support officials to recognize and fight against upcoming work overload and stress.

Sheraz and I came up with an application for smartphones and tablets, which officials could use to become more aware of their (mental) overload. This application would be linked to bio-feedback tools, to have both subjective and objective feedback.

Our solution reached the 9th place.
