A huge array of devices will soon be connected to the Internet.
Farid Mheir's insight:
All the stats you may want to know regarding the Internet of Things. Limited to the consumer market: not much in there for the business, and nothing regarding manufacturing and other industries and segments that will surely be impacted by IoT.

Toutes les statistiques sur ce marché en pleine explosion... Il est intéressant de voir que le premier Bénéfice perçu de l'IoT est l'augmentation de l'efficacité opérationnelle (46%). À croire que toutes ces choses que l'on connecte à Internet vont véritablement nous aider dans la vie de tous les jours !... Bien entendu, une croissance démesurée de ce marché provient encore de l'Asie (à 51%).

To put these devices to the test, I needed a gold-standard evaluation of my sleep quality. To achieve that, I underwent a true sleep study. This combination of brain wave tracings, muscle-tone evaluation and eye-movement analysis, along with a live a... Via JP DOUMENG

The informal study is interesting for those that wear or plan to wear sleep trackers.

We optimize ads, but not our mood. We know more about our tweets than our own bodies. That's all about to change. As wearables transform the 'quantified self' from a niche to a mainstream market, they are generating vast amounts of data about our health, habits, and lifestyles
Farid Mheir's insight:
Fascinating insight that companies such as jawbone can derive from the trove of data that is captured by their wearable devices such as the UP bracelet. I've been wearing a fitbit for 3 months now and the sleep data is to me one of the most fascinating because it represents information that I did not have before (as oppposed to number of steps for example). What I find interesting with Monica's work at jawbone is the anlaysis they've done over 50M nights of sleep and the kind of analysis that is expressed in the chart here. Wow, just so very insightful and useful. I'd love to be able to get insight on how I compare with similar people. And maybe one day get suggestion to improve my sleep. Of course, privacy is Paramount. I found that my sleep patterns are very personal and that I would not want them to become public. Something to consider and enforce at all costs.

The idea is that the Core, a small, waterproof dongle less than a pinkie long, can be inserted into and worn in a variety of ways, like as wristband or clip. You then connect it with the LifeLog Android app, which lets you track and playback aspects of your life in a fun, colorful, and animated way. For example, you can track your social life, entertainment activities, sleep patterns, what pictures you took when and where, different major life moments, the weather each day and in the future, and–of course–your physical activity levels. The goal is that, through the Core and the app, you will log your day, everyday, and then the duo will give you inspiration and recommendations.
Farid Mheir's insight:
One of the many new lifelogging devices to come out, this out is interesting because it has no screen, is waterproof and connects to a phone. I would expect this means long battery life. Looks like an improvement over the fitBit I am wearing...

Using evidence and a bit of logic, I bet the iWatch will be much less a time piece and much more platform for auto-analytics and managing yourself.
Farid Mheir's insight:
I've thinking abot this for a long time: an Apple watch only makes sense if wearing it provides you with information you do not already have. The real transformation would be that an iWatch would combine all different kind of sensors and monitors and combine them with communication and applciations you find in an iphone. You can wear a watch 24 hours a day on your skin. Because of that it can monitor in real-time your temperature, heartbeat, glucose levels, sleep patterns, position, speed, etc. and communicate all that info to services. I would expect to see an iHealth service for seniors or people suffering from diabetes, raising an alarm automatically when sensors detect an anormal situation. Or an iProtect program that would act as a generic "panic button" or "personal 911" in case of trouble. Of course this needs to fit into a 3cm square profile and have a one-week battery capacity, but I believe these are all solvable problems. Whether they willbe solved in 2013 by Apple is the real question!

Yes mobile will prove to be much more beneficial in the next 10 years than in the past 20 where all we've got was portable music player and camera integration. Health tracking will open a whole new world of improvements and opportunities.
