A Smart Water Bottle for New Seniors: Internet of Things (IoT) and Health Care Services

March 1, 2016

Water intake is important for health as it helps build the resilience of respiratory organs, especially among elderly people. However, elderly individuals are unaware of appropriate ways to consume water including adequate intake, timings, frequency, etc. This study attempted to identify the potential for consuming water, existing problems, types of consumers, and water intake behavior fornewseniors. Survey and in-depth interview data were collected, and a “persona” was used to understand new seniors’ goal and needs. The results showed that they struggled to adhere to habitual water consumption. Further, a smart water bottle that guides users to consistently drink appropriate amounts of water was addressed by applying the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to health care services.

Threat detection and response in cloud environments

whitePaper | August 1, 2022

Cloud environments change fundamental assumptions in how to perform threat detection and response. The highly dynamic inventory of cloud workloads means systems come and go in seconds. When system configuration errors are introduced during a build, they can be exacerbated and amplified when automation replicates the errors across many workloads. Shared responsibility with the cloud service provider (CSP) creates potential threat detection gaps in the attack lifecycle.

A connected machine ecosystem comprises industrial assets interlinked via software and intelligent technologies, to drive smarter and more agile decisions. Industry 4.0, a revolution driven by advancements in technology, integrates physical operations with smart digital technologies (such as AI, industrial IoT, blockchain, connectivity infrastructure, etc.) to create a more holistic, interconnected.

IoT for Development: Use cases delivering impact

whitePaper | June 29, 2023

Utility services such as energy, water, sanitation, waste management and transport are essential to life. The Digital Utilities programme enables access to affordable, reliable, safe and sustainable urban utility services for low-income populations through digital solutions and innovative partnerships. In doing so, we also seek to support cities in low- and middle-income countries in their transition to a low carbon, climate-resilient future.
