The Internet Of Things And Us

Wearables? (the pessimists view)

The Beginnings…

Where do we go from here?

Did they actually help you change?

What is the point?

So many little things to charge! WHY!

Do they really help? How OCD do you have to be to use these things?

+weight+CO2+heart rate+connectivity+accelerometer+accelerometer

Why are “wearables” cool anyway?

Can’t you sense yourself? Don’t you know when you went for run, what more do you want? Get

movin’!

Can technology change us?

Times Square – Distraction Capital Of The World.

ADHD anybody?

• Jawbone

• Basis

• Misfit Shine

• Withings Scale

• Mio

• Your cellphone

• Accelerometer

• Temperature sensor

• Electrodermal activity

• Optical sensor for heart rate

• Electropotential sensor for QRST waveform,

• Heart rate variability

• microphone

• Camera

• CO2 gas sensor

Where should we place our focus?

Wearables(the optimists view) – are tools for changing ourselves. Our bodies are high maintenance and

inconvenient. Let’s outsource as much as possible, so we can then choose

where to place our focus?

Wearable next steps. Simplifying the human as a black box.

INPUT OUTPUT

• Poo• Urine• Movement(exercise)• Breathing(CO2)• Thought? • Words?

• Food and Water

• Air(breathing)

DATA BIASES

Simple functions that humans could automate further?

Exercise for vasculature maintenance – TENS stimulators

Bowel Movements, and tracking

Bladder Fullness and emptying.

Perfecting calorie intake, through constant blood monitoring. Freeing us to do

other things, and reach greater

heights?

What is useful health information?

Poo – Bristol Stool Scale

BabyPoo – The first imaging processing app to automate poo classification.

Another major area for wearables is the time when we are unconscious.

Snore Loop, Sleep Lab, Sleep Cycle, Zeo

Spectral Detection Of Snoring

Breathing RegularityOver The Night

Incontinence

• 28 Million adults suffer from incontinence.

• All children have problem mastering their bladder that continue for varying amounts of time…

• Half of all people in retirement homes have this problem.

• Diapers are a 20 Billion dollar per year industry.

If we could see inside, cheaply, easily and as safely as making a phone call, imagine how health would change.

Products From This Tech:

• Bladder Fullness• Wound Depth• Intestinal Blockages• Heart Rate and Arrhythmia

Analysis• Autonomic Tone and Vagal

State (depression/bipolar)• Assistive to surgery in 3rd world

countries • High resolution brain imaging

Let’s stop being a black box

Let’s forget about black boxes, and look inside non-invasively… mm wave radar

And further….Past: Complex, expensive,detailed, regulated, small scale, inaccessible

Shrink It!

Make It Accessible

Progress?

Higher resolution sensors that are hand held.

Complete transparency, big data advances in health and communications?

Our understanding of health improves, as do the feedback loops between us

The bandwidth in, through the eyes and ears is much bigger than speech out. It’d would be awesome to have a mind’s eye to express ideas to others faster and more clearly.

Face to Face conversation does not include everything… higher bandwidth communication would allow more

direct communication.

You thought the internet was big…

Bandwidth comparison?

What do we do with the extra time? Extend and remap our senses… Explore.

A picture is a thousand words.

THINGS that are already remapping our perceptual input.

Thanks!
