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.

Fixed 5th Generation Advanced and Beyond

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

One of the overarching goals of the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) F5G on Fifth Generation Fixed Network is to establish a regular rhythm of evolution for the fixed telecommunications network. This technology enhancement corresponds to the series of generations defined for the wireless network. So far, F5G has published technical specifications on use cases, generations definition of fibre networks, architecture, and more. As it continues, these documents will be enhanced and revised to describe the fifth generation of fixed networks more fully. Therefore, we need to consider the evolution of F5G. This White Paper describes the drivers, dimensions, and technologies of the F5G advanced and beyond.
