Hippo: IoT-based paradigm shift from passive to active insurance companies
I’m a big advocate of incremental IoT strategies (check out my recent webinar with Mendix on this approach), for existing companies that want to test the waters first. However, I’m enough of a rabble-rouser to also applaud those who jump right in with paradigm-busting IoT (and big data) startups.
Enter, stage left, a nimble (LOL) new […]
Apple ResearchKit will launch medical research paradigm shift to crowd-sourcing
Amidst the hoopla about the new MacBook and much-anticipated Apple Watch, Apple snuck something into Monday’s event that blew me away (obligatory disclaimer: I work part-time at The Apple Store, but the opinions expressed here are mine).
Four years after I proselytized about the virtues of democratizing data in my Data Dynamite: how liberating data will […]
Apple HealthKit — Will It Bring About Patient-Doctor Paradigm Shift?
This is a companion piece to my last post, about the HomeKit Apple unveiled last week at the WWDC — complete with the same disclaimer: Having to send huge amounts of money to Loyola of Maryland for the next three years (I feel like I’m in the Weimar Republic and must carry tons of money to […]
New #IoT Health Paradigm: Partnership Between Doctor and Patient
With all the Internet of Things emphasis on making “dumb” things “smart,” we shouldn’t ignore how it will make all of us smarter as well.
Nowhere will that be as important as in healthcare, where I believe it will produce a dramatic paradigm shift in which patients will become empowered and will be full partners in […]
Wahoo! Liveblogging #Liveworx ’18!
Always my fav event, I’ll be liveblogging #LiveWorx ’18. Stay tuned!
Keynote: Jim Heppelmann:
“from a place to a pace” — how fast are we moving?
no longer OK to think of a future destination, builds inertia (“your main competitor”). Disruption may have already happened. Hard to sustain advantage due to pace of change. Must “embrace a pace […]
“All of Us:” THE model for IoT privacy and security!
pardon me in advance:this will be long, but I think the topic merits it!
One of my fav bits of strategic folk wisdom (in fact, a consistent theme in my Data Dynamite book on the open data paradigm shift) is, when you face a new problem, to think of another organization that might have one similar […]
Holy Clayton Christensen! Is Local Motors prototype for future of manufacturing?
In the latter stages of writing The Future Is Smart, I came across Local Motors, an amazing company that is not only an IoT innovator but also might pr0vide a model to revolutionize American manufacturing in general.
I’d read an article years ago about the company when it was locally-based, but since it was focused entirely […]
Creating Your Incremental IoT Strategy Webinar Tomorrow!
Hope you’ll join me and Mendix (which, BTW, Gartner just tabbed as a platform as service [Paas] “Magic Quadrant” leader for its low-code tools for rapid app development!), for a 10 AM (EDT) webinar Tuesday the 2nd on creating incremental IoT strategies (register here).
In a way, this is an update of the e-book I wrote for […]
Amazon Echo: great tech present for your tech-averse parents!
Never let it be said that I get serious about my Christmas shopping until about this date!
This year, my major suggestion is about a product that it took me a full year to buy after my mother-in-law of a certain age sent last Christmas’s check: never let it be said that I rush into purchases […]
Blockchain might be answer to IoT security woes
Could blockchain be the answer to IoT security woes?
I hope so, because I’d like to get away from my recent fixation on IoT security breaches and their consequences, especially the Mirai botnet attack that brought a large of the Internet to its knees this Fall and the even scarier (because it involved Philips, a company […]
