Live Blogging from the IoT Global Summit
Keynotes:
Came in on end of presentation by Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-WA, co-chair of the House IoT Caucus and an IT industry vet. Her litany of federal inaction in the face of rapidly-evolving tech — especially regarding privacy protections, where the key law was enacted in 1986 — was really dispiriting, although it’s good to know […]
Claro’s IoT Strategy Creation Guide: important in own right & symbolically
Some IoT advances are as important symbolically (especially as key steps in the IoT’s maturation) as in their own right.
I consider Claro Partners‘s new “A Guide to Succeeding in the Internet of Things” in that vein, both showing that it’s not just enough to create a whizbang IoT device or app — you need a […]
Deloitte provides process for nuanced IoT strategy decisions
So much of the Internet of Things is still in the gee-whiz stage that we haven’t seen much in terms of nuanced IoT strategies. By that I mean ones that carefully weigh tradeoffs between companies and consumers to try to find strategies that are mutually beneficial and recognize there are new factors at play in […]
Criteria to evaluate IoT “SmartAging” devices
I haven’t been able to put a lot of time into fleshing out my “SmartAging” paradigm, which combines Quantified Self devices to change seniors’ relationship to their doctors into a partnership and give them incentives to improve their fitness, with smart home devices that make it easier to manage their homes through automation.
So here’s an attempt […]
Apple & IBM partnership in Japan to serve seniors a major step toward “Smart Aging”
As Bob Seger and I prepare to turn 70 (alas, no typo) on Wednesday (as long as he’s still singing “Against the Wind” I know I’m still rockin’) my thoughts turn to my “Smart Aging” paradigm, which combines Quantified Self devices that can change our relationships with doctors into a partnership and give us encouragement to […]
Smart Aging: Kanega watch for seniors Kickstarter campaign ends today
“Independence with Dignity” is the motto for Jean Anne Booth’s Kanega Watch, which is in the last day of its Kickstarter campaign.
I’m not crazy about it, but in general I like what you see, and hope you get on board. It addresses three major concerns for the elderly:
falls
medication reminders
wandering.
I met the woman behind it at a […]
The IoT Gets Real: My Own Experience
Sometimes, when we focus on the truly dramatic things that will be possible when the Internet of Things is fully implemented, such as fully automated smart homes or the end of traffic jams, it may divert attention from how the IoT is already making a tangible difference in our daily lives even with only early-stage devices and apps, […]
My take on the IoT at CES
Here I am languishing in bitterly-cold Massachusetts, while all the cool kids are playing with toys at CES! I’ll try to get over it and give you my impressions of the Internet of Things new product introductions, as filtered through the lens of my IoT Essential Truths:
Perhaps the most important development is Samsung’s whole-hearted embrace of […]
My #IoT predictions for 2015
I was on a live edition of “Coffee Break With Game-Changers” a few hours ago with panelists Sherryanne Meyer of Air Products and Chemicals and Sven Denecken of SAP, talking about tech projections for 2015.
Here’s what I said about my prognostications:
“I predict that 2015 will be the year that the Internet of Things penetrates consumer consciousness — because of the Apple […]
