Week 1 Introduction To IoT
Week 1 Introduction To IoT
to IoT
The Internet of Things connects everyday
objects to the internet, enabling smarter
communication and automation.
1990s:
The term "Internet of Things" was coined by Kevin
Ashton in 1999. It described a system where the
internet would be connected to the physical world
via ubiquitous sensors.
2000s:
Advancements in wireless communication
technologies, such as Wi-Fi and RFID (Radio-
Frequency Identification), began to support the
widespread implementation of IoT.
2010s and Beyond:
2. Healthcare:
IoT has revolutionized healthcare with devices like wearable
fitness trackers (e.g., Fitbit), smart medical devices (e.g.,
connected inhalers, heart monitors), and remote patient
monitoring systems.
It enables continuous monitoring of patients' health, real-time
data collection, and personalized treatment plans, improving
healthcare outcomes.
3. Industrial IoT (IIoT):
IoT applications in industries include predictive
maintenance of machinery, real-time monitoring of
industrial processes, supply chain optimization, and
inventory management.
For example, IoT sensors in manufacturing plants
can detect anomalies and predict equipment
failures, minimizing downtime and maintenance
costs.
4. Agriculture:
6. Market Trends:
Enhanced Data Collection: IoT devices collect valuable data, which can be analyzed to
gain insights into user behavior, operational performance, and environmental conditions.
Convenience: IoT provides remote control and automation of everyday tasks, making life
easier for consumers and businesses.
Innovation: IoT drives innovation in product development, service delivery, and business
models.
