Over the last two years, Nokia and XPRIZE have collaborated to put on two Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE competitions to “accelerate the availability of hardware sensors and software sensing technology that individuals use to access, understand, and improve their health and well-being.” Each challenge comes with a grand prize award of $525,000, along with five distinguished awards, the winners of each receiving $120,000.
