Aside from that, what developments can we expect over the next decade?
Connected homes
After a hard day at work, what could be better than returning to a home that makes your life easier and anticipates your needs?
Within 10 years, all homes will be equipped with an intelligent personal assistant. A real plus when you forget to turn off a light or start a washing machine. And what about connected videophones and connected locks, which can be opened and closed remotely, or even this ecological shower enclosure which is recharged using water?
The connected business
The IoT is of course proving to be an essential tool at the heart of the company.
It is just as capable of connecting to your building's energy management system as it is to your infrastructure's maintenance sensors. Leveraging this power allows for the collection of reliable data and leveraging it helps optimize resources.
By using it, not only do you stand out from the competition, but, since you reduce your consumption, you use the IoT in a way that accelerates the sustainable transition.
Optimizing production and costs, but also reducing losses, this is the promise that the IoT makes to us. It lays the foundations of the city of the future, this smart city in which it promises to play a fundamental role.
The connected car
On-board communication, artificial intelligence and autonomous driving: the automotive giants have taken on the challenge of revolutionizing their sector with technological and digital innovations. In 10 years, many vehicles on our roads may well be fully autonomous.
Equipped with numerous sensors, the connected car will achieve the performance of driving itself, and even remotely. It will also become a more secure vehicle thanks to virtual key applications on smartphones.
Connected health
How can we improve patient care or reduce their influx among healthcare professionals? IoT offers many solutions.
The use of RPMs will be increased. These remote, real-time patient monitoring systems will allow patients to benefit from the attention of caregivers without leaving their homes.
Diabetics will use more wearable insulin pumps and their Apple Watches will be equipped with a glucometer.
As for surgeons, connected glasses will be their most faithful allies.
Connected sport
Thanks to IoT, training techniques for athletes will take a leap forward. Smart shorts and other connected boxing gloves will provide athletes with all the data necessary to increase their performance tenfold.
As for football fans, they will be delighted. Smart clothing, linked to sensors on the ground and to the clothing of their idols, will propel them into the heart of the action.
