Application examples of IoT

APPLICATIONS OF IOT

Most of the daily life applications are already smart but they are unable to communicate with each other and to enable them to communicate with each other and share useful information with each other will create a wide range of innovative applications .These emerging applications with some autonomous capabilities would certainly improve the quality of our lives, all due to the concept of IoT. In this section, we present few of IoT applications

Home Automation

 smart home is becoming a need of fast life. Smart home allows many household devices to be connected with internet for the communication. In smart home, the various home equipment’s like air conditioning, doors, windows, lighting, washing machine, and refrigerator can be controlled remotely. IoT in integration with wireless sensor network can give intelligent solution for energy management of buildings. With the help of laptop or smartphones, we can access energy information and control system of buildings

In Healthcare

There are exciting applications of IoT in healthcare that provide enhance the patient experience, improve patient care and save the vast amounts of money. Identification of various drugs is an important application of IoT in healthcare area. IoT unlocks the potential of existing technologies, and leads us toward new and better medical device solutions. IoT devices not only improve facilities and professional practice, but also health in the daily lives. Most studies reviewed point to a chronic disease monitoring in particular as in which are responsible for the first remote monitoring of vital signs and the second of a telemedical Electrocardiogram (ECG) system of a patient.

 Remote Monitoring

 With the lack of health monitoring systems may leads to many health risks go undetected and patient undergoes many problems. This is the major problem facing all over the world. For checking the vital signs data to be healthy or unhealthy, we need a nurse or doctor advice and again cost is increased. This may be risk for the elder people to overcome this issue, a small and powerful wireless solutions connected via IoT for monitoring to come to patients instead of vice versa. Using these wireless solutions patients’ health data can be captured. A variety of sensors and their related algorithms are used to analyze the heath data and send it through wireless connectivity and then medical professionals can take the data then make the appropriate health recommendations remotely. Many e-Health systems developed and they are providing remote monitoring of patient and these monitoring systems are low cost and they are continuously monitoring the patient’s health condition and accurately measuring the patient’s psychological parameters such as body temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate and respiration rate of patient

Pulse oximeters

 The application of IoT for oxygen monitoring has the potential to give maximum information and can be used to its fullest extent in present pendemic. An oximeter is machine that can be connected to internet to facilitate the exchange of information when required. The monitoring of pulse oximeters that allow you to check your oxygen levels at home through IoT can help people in home quarantine. Those with heart or lung conditions can benefit from being able to check their oxygen levels and also send an alert to nearby hospital for emergencies

In Agriculture

India is agriculture oriented country. 69% of Indian population has agriculture as their main occupation. The advancement in the IoT technology will help farmers increase the crop gain. As Iot application in agriculture continues to develop, farms will become more connected more streamlined, more efficient and ultimately more productive. Internet of Things will effectively solve the quality and safety problems of agricultural Products. The important applications of IoT in agriculture are water quality monitoring, monitor soil constituent, water irrigation and pest monitoring

 Logistics coordination

 This is the best application of IoT in agriculture. Through GPS, RFID and other location-based sensors, goods such as vegetables can be tracked and monitored visually during transportation and storage. This can also facilitate scheduling and add further automation in supply chain management.  In Industry Smart parking space that waits for you. Imagine the time spent and frustration finding a free parking spot-all can be solved with smart parking.

 Smart Ink

Several manufactures have developed forms of ink that enable electronic circuits to be printed on just about anything. This will enable consumers of print ads to interact with those ads-giving marketing information systems feedbacks, transporting consumers to website, and enabling them to request more information or even order products.

Smart Sports

 Smart basketball, golf ball, tennis ball, smart rackets, smart bats, smart sneakers and so on as a connected object that can be recognized once it is in a specific space.

Smart Clothing

Sensors built in to the fabric, or printed on, clothing will give health and performance feedback to medical personnel and athletes. Markets will use such clothing to monitor physiologic responses to marketing content, product and brand variations and pricing change. Imagine if smart clothing is context-aware whereby you can even change colour and transparency of clothes based on own heart beat and temperature as well as heart beat and temperature of others nearby.
