In todays episode, I am speaking with Ted-Li, co-founder of Oaesense. Oasense developed a self-powered smart showerhead that helps people conserve up to 60% of water and energy by switching off automatically when you step away. Ted-Li has an engineering background and worked in different sensor focused companies as well at Apple. He joined as co-founder in 2019.

Ted, an optoelectronic technologist and passionate nature lover, shares the story behind the Oasense Smart Shower—designed to conserve water without compromising the shower experience. Inspired by California's severe droughts, Oasense’s innovative sensor shower head tackles water waste in a way that’s both sustainable and effective.

Discover how this smart shower works, from its self-generating energy to its adaptive motion sensors and thermal shut-off valves. Ted also discusses the science behind the technology, its impact on sustainability, and the future of water conservation in the home. Tune in for insightful reflections on how small innovations can lead to major changes in our environment.
