# About SismoSmart

> The team behind SismoSmart, our perspective after the 2023 earthquakes, and the roadmap from pilot to launch. Based in Türkiye, testing in our own homes.

## Story

After a major earthquake in Türkiye, building inspections take weeks, sometimes months. During that time, families don't know if they can return home.

We can't remove that wait entirely; in the end an engineer has to walk into the building. But a layer of data can exist before they arrive, one that shows which buildings should be looked at first. That's what we're working on.

Our team has a civil engineering academic advisor, two MSc civil engineering researchers, and a founder on embedded and software. We're all based in Türkiye. We test the device in our own homes.

## Principles

### Inform without scaring

No disaster marketing. The device creates preparedness, not panic.

### Be clear about limits

We'll openly state what we don't do. Not an official warning system. Not a substitute for an engineer's report.

### Return data to its owner

Your building's data is yours. Anonymized aggregates may go to academia or government. Personal data isn't for sale.

## Timeline

### Q1 2026 — Team and product vision

Core team assembled, key product decisions made, system architecture written.

### Q2 2026 — Prototype and pilot prep

First hardware prototype, mobile app scaffolding, first pilot site conversations.

### Q3 2026 — First pilot installations

Five to ten buildings, three months of data, feedback, final product.

### Q4 2026 / Q1 2027 — Certification and manufacturing

CE certification, first 1,000 devices, broad launch.

## Team

### Founder

**Hardware, software, product**

Responsible for embedded systems, IoT, cloud, and the product.

### Academic advisor

**Earthquake engineering**

PhD in civil engineering. Scientific validation of structural health algorithms.

### Civil engineers

**Structural health and pilot sites**

Two MSc civil engineering researchers. Lead the building-side algorithms and pilot validation.

## Safety and product status

SismoSmart is not an emergency service and does not determine whether a building is safe. Follow official alerts and qualified engineers.

SismoSmart is a pre-launch product. Hardware, detection, connectivity, performance and certification details are design targets until pilot validation and formal approval.
