The market for drugs and treatments using biological products is rapidly growing. This is mainly due to the great potential that biological products have in comparison to traditional drugs. Biological products are composed of bigger molecules such as proteins and antibodies, and therefore allow a much more specific treatment. With the complexity of the molecules comes complexity in the upscaling of manufacturing. Start-up companies tend to lack knowledge of this process; consequently, outsourcing is often a requirement for the companies to grow. Outsourcing can be both risky and costly and the companies could benefit from having the skills in-house instead. This report provides information about needs, obstacles and driving forces regarding the future market for biological medicine and also outsourcing’s effect on the market. Desktop research was used to provide necessary information about the market and biological medicines, and also to find companies, research groups and investors that we mapped according to parameters, such as location and what field of medicine they engage in. Through phone and email contact, we gained further understanding about the actors we targeted. Desktop research and interviews were used to identify needs, obstacles and driving forces regarding the development of biological medicine. The result gives insight into where in Sweden the different candidates operate and it tells what pursuits and holdbacks they are facing when developing biological medicines. The major driving force is providing patients efficient treatments but also the opportunity to capitalise in a novel and successful type of industry. The major obstacle is first and foremost the great amount of money needed. Also, companies fail to grasp the many complex and time consuming steps in developing biological medicines. The interviews also showed that outsourcing is practically inevitable, especially for small companies, due to the difficulties of concentrating the competence in-house. In conclusion, the report shows that the benefits of biological medicine creates great driving forces for its development and that Sweden makes up a good climate for this. It also enlightens the importance of test beds to ensure that the future development relies on competence.

A smart home is a building equipped with sensors collecting data about its environment. Data collected from smart home buildings can be used for research to improve home automation and develop smart cities. A scalable web-based system can be used to handle the large quantities of data generated from smart homes. Previous studies have been conducted on the requirements of a system collecting sensor data from smart homes, however, information about the presentation of data is still lacking. Because of this research needs to be done on what kind of system handles and presents sensor data well.The aim of this degree project is to identify the requirements of a web-based system handling and presenting sensor data. A scalable web-based system is developed based on the requirements identified from interviews and a literature study. The system shows that sensor data can be presented in a manner which facilitates research. Results show that a scalable web-based system can be used to display and download sensor data with associated information about the data. / Ett smart hem är en byggnad utrustad med sensorer som samlar data om sin miljö. Data insamlad från smarta hem kan leda till förbättringar i hemautomatisering och utvecklingen av smarta städer. Ett skalbart webbaserat system kan användas för att hantera stora mängder data som genereras utav smarta hem. Tidigare studier har genomförts för att framställa kraven utav ett system som samlar in data från smarta hem, dock saknas fortfarande information om hur denna data ska presenteras. På grund av detta behövs forskning om vilket typ av system som kan hantera och presentera data.Målet med detta examensarbete är att identifiera kraven för ett webbaserat system som hanterar och presenterar sensordata. Ett skalbart webbaserat system utvecklas baserat på krav identifierade genom intervjuer och en literaturstudie. Systemet visar att sensor data kan presenteras på ett sätt som underlättar forskning. Resultatet visar att ett skalbart webbaserat system kan användas för att visa och ladda ned sensordata med tillhörande information om datan.
