Smarter IoT and Healthcare
In our Identiverse 2021 talk, we said AI is making healthcare’s Identity of Things more complex. “Ever smarter devices create gaps between identity capabilities of the latest devices and older ones.” Let’s expand a little. Artificial Intelligence will be a lot more pervasive by 2030. There’s been a lot of work at bringing smarts into…

High Assurance Digital Identity in Healthcare
We know we need High Assurance Digital Identity. But we don’t know what this is, exactly. However, to realize the full potential of Internet of Things (IoT) investment we must approach the Identity of Things (IDoT) differently than what we are accustomed to for the identity of persons.

In 2021, big tech companies slow their #ehealth projects
Across Europe and North America, governments are holding big “tech” companies accountable for… well, everything.

In 2021, growing out-of-hospital services pull along remote monitoring services and #IoMD
Nations are doing everything to keep people at home and out of hospitals. Some hospital networks bet they will cut patient stays in half with more/better out-of-hospital care. So we predict faster growth of in-home remote monitoring of chronic care, of preventive care, and post-hospital recovery. WiderPoV: The home-care use case is strong for the…

In 2021, healthcare IoT interop more vital than features
Ecosystems live on open standards. IIoT identity networks? Moreso. In 2021, proprietary healthcare identity will exclude you from many of the biggest buying decisions.

In 2021, digital twins will observe and analyze human interaction with things
Right now digital twins for business processes, automated systems, and facilities are ready to start incorporating observations of human interaction. We’ll turn to facilities twins for feng shui advice that improves in-room teamwork and body movement by adjusting the shape of spaces and the placement of things (and people) in those spaces. Some spaces may…
