it is a pleasure for me to be here and to be there
tell my story
let’s say that in life
many times I found myself in the
condition of having to press the button
reset
starting from the beginning this is one thing
that happens to many at all in
particular in 2013
my husband and I decided to
leave a work situation
uncertain here in Italy is to go
towards the cold canada abandoning like this
our our beautiful Sardinia
here we have found a job myself
I found the job of my dreams but
let’s say a non-renovated visa has us
returned to Italy in March 2014
so we said ok
and success again start there is not
no problem then it happened that
two months later in May I received
email from the University of Cagliari
one of those emails that usually
trash because I have to say that life
University has always bored me
and then my colleagues, not all of them
very very boring, however, let’s say this
he intrigued me a lot
there was talk of doing business but it was not
very clear indeed what
he meant there was talk of one of a kind
path I did not understand said okay
however I send my application a lot
it was all about sending mine
first name
this led me to take a test of
an aptitude test and then to enter
to be admitted in this path
this path I remember very well the
first day there was talk of incubators e
accelerators start up idc but that stuff is
it was very different from my studies
surely then to help us well
confuse us even more with ideas
we found ourselves in a rugby field I
lincoln 120 unknown and found again
they still continued to understand and others
they were the same as human but that
this has something to do with it
the entrepreneur and the entrepreneur is not
the one dressed all the way that yes
deals with important business
Well, that’s what we call an original
in fact, it was a team building phase
right there among all those
strangers I met giorgiantonio
that you can see in the photos that are
then they became my partners
giorgia was fresh of degree in economics
managerial and antonio graduating in
together we found ourselves
well we joined in team and we have
decided to undertake this path
this path is called
contamination lab
what does it do together students of various
faculty favoring precisely the
contamination of which so much is of which
much has been said in order to spread
business culture and get to
creation of innovative start-ups from
all this was born what was born in 3d mi
what we do in the of me is a
word game between the Sardinian who
English is in Sardinian means to listen to me
now it has been unveiled
listen to me why we deal with it
precisely of deafness we have decided to
focus on a real problem is the
the reason has been anticipated
my parents are both deaf
so I’m just grew up
with the awareness of everything that is
the absurdity that deafness includes
therefore the difficulties the prejudices
I had a very very happy childhood
let’s say I became responsible
very quickly
I have often been for them
the ears but also an interpreter already a
two years ago I called the doctor
but I must say that I have also learned to
speak very soon, even if mine
mother when he took me around for
the country with the stroller
says flights said but that pretty
this little girl but then I speak
let’s start talking
and then they understood that actually the
deafness had not touched me and that
however I had ample capacity to
words so this here you can see
a photo of me as a child was one
little girl a beautiful energetic girl who
has always fought prejudices because
obviously the children did not understand then
maybe they made fun of me
my grandmother obviously chased her with
the broom and I still tried to do
understand them that where they saw
something different something strange
I saw a great wealth and I have
always tried to do it also with the
smile because maybe they told me but
because your father talks like that
strange, you say american then that
success that my personal experience
gave, let’s say, gave way to mine
I obviously was lucky
precisely to meet my associates that yes
they are passionate is that they left from
a situation in which deafness does not
they knew nothing and now they are inside
with all the shoes during ours
travel is united in the race too
that other child you see there
he is called Leonardo and is an engineer
electronic and he also brought the
his Leonard experience is deaf since
from birth then together we are
we have created a much stronger team
even more competent we tried to
find a solution that would allow
to deaf people to feel
and precisely more independent than the free
safe inside the home environment is
detect detect the sounds that make it
leave and be notified immediately
[Music]
we talk about sounds like those we do
hearing we take for granted like the
doorbell someone who knocks on the door
or the timer of home appliances or
sounds as important as it can be
the alarm then this system is
constituted sorry is made up of gods
universal sensors of sound vibrations
which apply directly to the
source are a choice that they can then
be moved according to the
preferences there is a registration phase
with an application as soon as this
the person does not occur on time
real receives a notification to his own
paul’s a smartwatch we’ve created
This smartwatch fibers lights up and is
indicates the source is one more detected
for we also put people at
call from one room to another
ask for help in an emergency
because it happens that for example my father
both in my mother’s kitchen and in the bedroom
one needs help even if they scream
so no one hears them except me
I live downstairs
so we put it in the smart if
we solved the problem
this is a problem that asks for numbers
important in the world
we speak of 360 million people with
a severe hearing disability in Italy
we speak of 7 million in these numbers
not only the people who are included are included
they have a profound deficit but also the
older people who get older with age
they lose their hearing
this flight explained what we want to do
us with in terms with in the navy
we are trying first of all with the
technological solution limit the inconveniences
and potential dangers that a person
deaf is facing
but among our objectives there is also
to spread a message
positive on deafness then show
first of all that it does not exist
two worlds as often understood
then the world of the deaf in the world
of users but the world we like
the one where hearing deaf people work
together to break down barriers
to understand the great opportunity e
the great value of working together
in conclusion what can I say that
I found myself for a day
to the other to translate Greek to tighten
the hand in the morning because why
because I believed in it because I never did
lost the determination and therefore
the important as for how much me
in short, I think it is for everyone
so it is then bad for me to go
in short, it starts all over again because
so much this is also the beauty of the
life and then life just who knows what
other surprises reserve us therefore not
be afraid to dance that
sheet on which he was describing e
take one white because maybe
just in that white sheet you are
taking you can write the chapter
more beautiful than your life
thank you
