A cold shower may the hottest new way to start the day, but it has as much appeal for aged care residents as an empty tank has for farmers.
Bizarrely, that connection is turning into a real money spinner for an Australian tech startup.
Gasbot is a Brisbane-based startup taking on the world thanks to tech developed to help eliminate the cold shower.
The company started out with a product to measure the remaining gas in LPG cylinders to assist residents in a retirement community who had been complaining to management when their cylinders ran out..
It turns out running out of gas is not unique to Australia, and is in-fact a 2 billion-cylinder problem.
