EVENT DETAILS

N.B. We'll be at a new venue (Codebase)

Wearable Technology is set to transform the health and wellness sector. According to Gartner, this year the worldwide market for wearable devices will grow by 18.4%. In addition to helping consumers stay fit by doing things like monitor diet, measure sleep and activity, wearables are being used in other new and exciting ways. For example, baby wearables like Paci-fi (https://www.bluemaestro.com/smart-thermometer-pacifier/) that monitor temperature, blood oxygen, and movement, Zenta (http://www.vinaya.com/) that monitors mood, stress and happiness levels, and devices such as Melomind (http://melomind.com/) that promote relaxation, but how about light? Recent studies indicate that the wrong type of artificial lighting can be as unhealthy as not having enough exposure to natural light, which is why light and lighting is becoming so important in the context of the IoT.

Sponsors for this event are Product Forge (http://www.productforge.io/), IoT Scotland (http://www.iotscotland.com/#!about/cgvz), Codebase (http://www.thisiscodebase.com/), and Nautilus Beam (http://nautilusbeam.com/).
