It doesn’t take a crystal ball to guess that 2020 is going to be a great year for the Internet of Things. More applications, more creative products, and faster data speeds can mean more opportunities for people to enjoy themselves and businesses better serve customers. These predictions come courtesy of futurist Jason Hope, an entrepreneur, and technology expert, who expects a rapid rise in the adoption of interconnected products this year and beyond.
IoT as a Utility
IoT can be a game-changer in the home, business, even healthcare, and there are plenty of possibilities for innovation, including:
IoT as an Efficiency Tool
Besides convenience and safety, IoT applications can improve efficiency, project management, and even safety, such as new ‘smart’ fire alarms from Nest that sense dangerous situations.
IoT in Healthcare
Hope believes that the healthcare industry can use IoT to offer better care, improve outcomes and provide lower costs. Better monitoring and more connected medical devices can provide a better picture of each patient.
But there are some limitations: doctors will have better access to patient records and even more thorough population data. But this needs to balanced by a focus on privacy and compliance with electronic patient record-keeping laws.
Overall, Jason Hope sees plenty of potential in 2020 and beyond as IoT expands into more business sectors.
