My presentation to the 2015 IoT Global Summit about keeping seniors healthier and happier, in their homes, through a combination of Internet of Things devices
My presentation @ the Wearables + Things conference about "Smart Aging," my paradigm shift about improving the quality of seniors' lives and reducing the cost by combining Quantified Self health devices and smart home devices.
"Smart Aging" combines two aspects of the Internet of Things, Quantified Self devices to record your health and fitness data and smart home technologies, specifically to allow seniors to "age in place" and improve their health, while simultaneously reducing their living costs.

Possibilities and perils of the data-driven world.joshuakauffman
I gave this lecture and led a discussion at the Future Insight summit in Oslo, Norway, March 13, 2014.
This was an introduction to subjects relating to the data-driven world, including a lengthier bit on the Quantified Self.
I improvised from the presenter notes.They give a pretty good sense of the contour of the talk.
In the Q and A session, people were mostly concerned about privacy implications of personal data collection.
My short answer is that I am also concerned, and think we need to broaden the discussion of privacy so that it transcends the concept of unwanted exposure and recenters itself on questions relating to the terms of exchange of personal data as they relate to social and economic value.

When developing products, don't forget this one generation. The number of elderly population is increasing each year, people are living longer, healthcare costs are increasing, yet Medicare spending is down.
Learn why its important to develop products for this generation.
The average age of world population is increasing exponentially. It is predicted that by 2050, life expectancy is going increase by ten years. The growth of aging population places higher demands on public healthcare systems which increases the cost associated with healthcare services. Due to this demographic shift, service provided for elders has become an integral part of the service industry of Internet of Things. This paper aims to discuss existing IoT-based technologies (smart devices) for elders and propose a framework which incorporates different components from IoT architectures proposed in the literature, to efficiently develop cloud-centric IoT based smart devices for seniors.
The Future of the Internet of Things and its Home ApplicationsNael Radwan
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of human Meshing with everything that exists around us
like our daily life communication through mobiles or the internet. In the next two or three years of (2020),
the internet will be changed to IoT. IoT can connect the smart objects through different technologies like
Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID). This paper highlights the effects of IoT on
human beings and their privacy, we suggest how to use IoT with smart home technology to improve the
living style. Smart home technology provides automated, intelligent, smart, innovative and ubiquitous
services to residential users through Information Communication Technology (ICT). The IoT usage has
some drawbacks like fraud and looting people, as a human being will be a part of the IoT. We also discuss
practical examples of a point-to-point connection between the devices. In IoT enabled smart home
environment various things such as lighting, home applications, connecting computers, security camera,
linking home with Civil Defense.
This presentation by David Sinclair of ILC-UK asks whether the Web can save social care.
It argues that:
*We have more older people and are going to need more care
*Care is in crisis today. It is likely to get worse before it gets better
*Technology has a role to play
*But we have assumed the place of technology without addressing the barriers
*There are some challenges to overcome
As we all know that IoT technology is behaves like a team of advisors, assistances and provide security. In IoT, Customer gets the benefit from the opinion of information and optimization of IoT. In the consumer area, IoT can modify quite simple and cheap ones include health gadgets to high-quality computerization programs. It uses packages, instances, and devices for consumers.

What Do World Class Innovators Do That Others Don't Do?UBMCanon
Jim Carroll, Author, Columnist, Futurist, Innovation and Trends Expert
Jim Carroll is one of the world's leading international futurists, trends and innovation experts, with a client list that ranges from Northrop Grumman to Johnson & Johnson, the Swiss Innovation Forum to the National Australia Bank; the Walt Disney Organization to NASA. His focus is on helping to transform growth oriented organizations into high-velocity innovation heroes.
He has a unique professional background as a Fellow Chartered Accountant, author, and frequent speaker at corporate and association events. Jim loves to golf, but isn't very good at it, which caused him some amazement when he was invited to open the 94th Annual General Meeting of the PGA -- the Professional Golf Association of America -- to challenge 500 golf pros as to how to think about innovation and future trends.
Jim was the first speaker the PGA has ever engaged to speak at their AGM, and has high hopes that he has helped to shape the future direction of the world's largest sport. He's also hoping to inspire you in a similar way.
1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the .docxrobert345678
1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the groups of people that bear the burden of this increase are taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries. Taxpayers are paying higher taxes as a result of increased government spending, and Medicare beneficiaries cannot keep up with the price of their prescriptions. When it comes to the factors in making a decision about increasing drug prices, I believe Big Pharma companies should act in a socially responsible manner, meaning they should base their decisions not solely on profit, and not solely on healthcare. There should be a balance, and new policies would be beneficial to help maintain that balance.
2. Lower-level employees have the responsibility to provide accurate information to management so that they can make the most informed decision. Lower-level employees also have the responsibility to not purposefully make material mistakes or purposefully not correct a known mistake.
3. Increased government spending will increase taxes for taxpayers and decrease available spending for other worthy issues. Taxpayers will essentially pay more in taxes and therefore have less income available. With drug prices rising faster than inflation, this will cause a widening gap between annual income and costs. Also, private health insurance costs will increase premiums and out of pocket costs for members. The stakeholders most directly impacted are the senior citizens that are dependent on their medication and can’t afford it or any other out of pocket costs because of the already wide gap between their income and expenses. I believe the government itself can be seen as a stakeholder as well because as they continue to increase Medicare funding, their deficit increases, causing them to take action to allocate resources effectively.
4. If the increase in price of existing drugs is preventing those who need those drugs from obtaining them, then to me it is hard to justify the increase based on R&D. There will always be a trade-off between affordable drugs and how quickly we can get new drugs. The government must devise a policy that improves Big Pharma companies’ incentive for affordability
and innovation.
5. Explain what you think each of the following statements means in the context of moral development.
. How far are you willing to go to do the right thing?
1. Stage 6 of moral development is about universal “self-chosen” ethical principles. This stage is about following your conscience even if it violates the law. In thinking of moral development, as time passes, one’s level of ethical reasoning advances and some issues may spark moral outrage that force a response.
. How much are you willing to give up to do what you believe is right?
1. This statement relates to moral development and how sometimes doing the right thing can have negative consequences. For example, an employee may notice a purposeful mistake by a manager. Let’s assume the employee is certain they will receiv.

Speech to first year graduate students at Babson College on the attitudinal shifts that will allow the IoT to transform business away from hierarchy to innovative circular organizations
The IoT Can Spark Total Management Revolution: the Circular CompanyW. David Stephenson
My address to PTC's LiveWorx '17 conference on how the IoT can spark a total management revolution, away from linear and hierarchical organization, to the "circular company," in which departments (and even trusted outsiders) collaborate in real-time around a shared IoT data base
My speech to the Hong Kong IoT Association about how instantly shared real-time IoT data can transform companies and allow highly efficient and creative circular organizations
A presentation I gave to the Boston/New England Internet of Things Meetup on June 17, 2013 about the overlooked human communications aspects of the IoT that must be dealt with if its full potential is to be realized! In particular, I argued we will need new management styles and thinking for an era in which every worker can have shared, real-time access to data that would help them do their jobs more effectively and make better decisions. Finally, I suggested we need a new kind of organizational chart -- Buckyball Management -- modeled on the buckyball molecule, in which there's no vertical hierarchy, but every person is a value-creating "node," capable of collaborating with every other person.
Presentation to National Academy of Science workshop on Public Response to Alerts and Warnings Using Social Media. I argued that the citizen science model, in which volunteers contribute to substantive scientific research, is a great model for how to involve the general public in making accurate, actionable social media posts (Twitter, Twitvid, Facebook) that first responders can use to direct their efforts in a disaster.
My presentation to the XBRL 23 conference, in which I outlined my vision of the "One Report," in which companies would manage internal reporting on a real-time basis using XBRL Global Ledger, then seamlessly compile government & other external reports.
This summarizes my concept of a transformation in which data is only entered once (by government, businesses or the public), automatically tagged with metadata, and then flows, preferably on a real-time basis, to anyone who needs it (limited only by their roles), plus tools to use and interpret the data. The results will be new goods & services, transparency, and economical operations!

Democratizing Data to transform gov., business & daily lifeW. David Stephenson
A speech to the Tableau Customer Conference 2009 based on the author's forthcoming "Democratizing Data" book, arguing that a combination of real-time structured data feeds and tools such as the Tableau visualization software can empower entire workforces, cut operating costs, encourage coooperation, and foster crowdsourcing.
My keynote @ the GOVIS conference in New Zealand, in which I outlined a comprehensive "democratizing data" strategy, its benefits given the current global economic/political crisis, & challenged New Zealand to take the world lead in making the concept a reality
My presentation to "Transparency Camp 09", about how to go beyond transparency to an integrated strategy based on "democratizing data" (structuring and syndicating it and providing social media analysis tools to share it). This integrated strategy will provide transparency, give workers the real-time information they need, reform government regulation, cut corporate paperwork, and crowdsource innovation. It may, or may not, cure the common cold under certain conditions.
my talk to 2/12/09 O'Reilly IgniteBoston, emphasizing that passage of economic stimulus package, combined with current economy, is perfect time to introduce data-centric "democratizing data" approach, giving workers, regulators, public, watchdogs real-time access to critical information!

speech delivered during height of US fiscal crisis (10/02/08) to the SustainCommWorld conference on data feeds and visualization as a means to improving management and achieving the "triple bottom line"
My presentation at Netroots Nation 2008. I challenge attendees to show that they're ready to capitalize on the power of Web 2.0 tools that will enable them to play a substantive role in government, specifically in the Obama campaign's public outreach project to draft the Democratic Platform.

1. “Smart Aging”
smart tech, smart policy, better living
W. David Stephenson
Stephenson Strategies
2015 IoT Global Summit
I’m excited to talk with you today about a new concept, “Smart Aging,” that I believe has the potential to improve seniors’ health, allow seniors to “age in place” in their own homes, and help
both individuals and society deal with the cost of aging.
The IoT Global Summit is an ideal place to speak of this concept, because the Summit is the one IoT conference that tries to always feature both emerging IoT technology and the
equally important public policy issues accompanying them that must also be addressed. “Smart Aging” will use that technology to lighten the public policy and spending burden.
2. Something’s Gotta Give
• 10,000 baby boomers retire daily.
• “..aging..will be the dominant force in
spending increases”
• 1st year med school enrollment declined
since 1980. 250,000 docs older than 55.
• By 2020, 1 in 9 worldwide over 60.
It’s about time for Smart Aging, because, frankly, we, as individuals and a society, just can’t afford to live without it.
Consider a few overwhelming facts:
• 10,000 baby boomers in the US now retire every day. Every day!
• According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, “Through 2037, aging will be the dominant force in spending increases not only on Social Security and health care
programs, but also in the overall non-interest budget”
• There also ain’t gonna be enough doctors to care for us, either. In fact, 1st year medical school enrollment has declined since 1980. Even worse, current doctors are going from being part
of the solution to being part of the problem: 250,000 of them are older than 55, and they’ll also retire soon.
• The problem is global: by 2020, 1 in 9 people worldwide will be over 60.
•
3. But, what if…
You could easily
record daily
health data
& that might
improve your
health?
But what if there was a radical shift in how we deal with aging?
What if a senior could automatically record her most important health indicators, not just on a doctor’s office visit, but every hour of every day, and then share that data with her doctor, so
that caring for her becomes more of a partnership, based on real understanding of her daily life?
In fact, when I went for my annual physical several weeks ago, when my doctor walked into the examination room, this summary of my recent activity was what I showed her first.
4. But, what if…
Seniors could
run their homes
— just talking
to them?
But what if, instead of the current situation, where it becomes increasingly hard for a senior to run his home or apartment’s daily operations as he aged, he could actually control critical
functions such as lighting or heating, just by speaking a few basic commands?
Instead of being institutionalized, which has been shown to not only radically increase someone’s living costs but also contribute to a decline in his health and sense of wellbeing, he’d be
able to stay at home, among his favorite possessions and his neighbors. Less cost for him and for society, more peace of mind.
5. “Smart Aging”
Senior-friendly home and health technology to
cut their health and living costs, improve their
health & quality of life — & keep them in their
own homes.
Put these two innovations together, and you get “Smart Aging.”
That’s the concept of using senior-friendly home and health technology to cut seniors’ health and living costs, improve their health and quality of life, and keep them in their own homes as
long as possible.
I believe it can bring unprecedented health and happiness to the senior years — while saving both them and society money!
6. Two Aspects:
• Quantified Self movement
• Smart Home Devices
While there have been efforts for a while to specifically use technology to improve aging, I believe Smart Aging will instead result from tweaking efforts underway as part of the Internet of
Things to improve life for everyone, of all ages. As Joe Coughlin, director of MIT’s AgeLab, says, “Counterintuitively, making home automation mainstream and cool means that it's likely to
end up in the hands of older adults sooner than if home automation technologies were only designed specifically for older people.”
Two aspects of the Internet of Things combine to make “Smart Aging Possible.”
First is the “Quantified Self”movement and wearables in general.
The second is Smart Home devices that automate previously manual processes.
7. Ultimate Test of IoT
“… when technology recedes into the
background of our lives..” —Mark Weiser
When I think about this issue, I think about what Mark Weiser, the “father” of the Internet of Things, said about the third generation of computers, in which “technology recedes into the
background of our lives.” It seems to me that “smart aging” is both the ultimate challenge, and, potentially, the ultimate proof of this idea: seniors, even the most tech-savvy, don’t want to
fool around with tiny interfaces, and are looking to enjoy their twilight years, not be challenged by them. Thus, IoT devices that are simple to use & can become part of their daily lives
without setting them apart or stigmatizing them, as Coughlin said, will really transform the aging process — while making the IoT more appealing for everyone.
8. BringYour Own Device
As bring your own device reshaped
workplaces, public policy on aging must
encourage and integrate smart home and
Quantified-Self devices
Since I read a lot of government technology publications, it dawned on me last week that Smart Aging is another manifestation of an issue that government agencies and policy-makers have
been wrestling with for several years: how to encourage “bring your own devices” and integrate them both into the government workplace and services to help citizens.
Since the statistics I quoted earlier and factors such as the dwindling Social Security Trust Fund mean that we will have more recipients and fewer financial resources in the future, doesn’t it
make sense to make IoT devices that seniors and their families will want to buy for a variety of uses and that can be used as part of Smart Aging strategies a key part of senior service
planning?
9. Already here!
An iPhone
Case That
Can Save
Your Life!
Smart Aging, without a formal agenda or mandate, is already evolving as part of the general IoT movement.
Perhaps the neatest example is this iPhone case. Oh, did I mention that, in addition to protecting your phone, it can also save your life? This is the AliveCor Mobile ECG. The two silvery
parts are electrodes that you hold in both hands, and, within 30 seconds, it gives you an ECG. It’s no gimmick: the AliveCor has passed rigorous testing and is approved by the FDA.
10. Already here!
Smart Home
devices that
automate your
house just
by speaking
My favorite Smart Home device that works for everyone but especially well for seniors, is the Amazon Echo, a small cylinder that sits on your kitchen counter, and can be used both to play
streaming audio and also control IoT devices such as the WeMo switches or Hue Lights. It’s easy-to-use by people of all ages, and doesn’t shout this is for old guys.
11. Even better…
put them together
Even better, what if your health devices could trigger your home ones? The Nest thermostat, which has artificial intelligence, learns from your living patterns how to regulate your heating
and cooling. The Jawbone UP bracelet includes an alarm function that will wake you at the ideal moment in your sleep cycle to minimize the hassle of waking. Now, the same alarm that
wakes you will automatically adjust the Nest, so that you’ll get up in a warm house! Isn’t that incredible?
If you haven’t already already used it, play around yourself with the IFTTT site, where smart IoT device manufacturers post their open APIs so that anyone can come up with clever “recipes”
to trigger devices and/or combine actions by several devices. I believe this site is absolutely critical to the IoT’s future, because it democratizes the data and allows anyone — including some
senior — with a bright idea to extend the usability and benefits of these devices.
12. How Will Seniors Benefit?
Encourage healthy new habits such as
more sleep, more walking, better diet.
So what will this neat new technology do to improve seniors’ lives?
It can encourage them to adopt healthy new habits such as getting more sleep, walking more, because it not only records their activity, but also tracks it over time, so they can quickly see
whether they’re making progress toward the goals they set for themselves. They can even choose to share that data with their adult children to reassure them that they’re staying active.
13. How Will Seniors Benefit?
Transform doctor-patient relationship
Carrying this data sharing to its logical conclusion, Partners Healthcare is now experimenting with allowing patients (provided they opt in, because privacy and security is so important) to
share their Quantified Self device data with their doctors.
That probably won’t be widespread for a while, but it is likely to result in better diagnoses, because the doctor won’t just have to rely on a few tests, given months apart, but instead can see
what patients’ lives are like day in and day out!
14. How Will Seniors Benefit?
Automate household processes
They will be more comfortable because they’ll now be able to manage a variety of formerly manual processes, such as adjusting the heat or turning lights on or off, automatically.
15. It Won’t Be Easy
Security & Privacy Critical!
This revolution won’t happen automatically — and without some pain, cost and debate.
Most important is making sure that seniors control their own medical and home information. It is absolutely essential that manufacturers build-in advanced privacy and security
protections, and constantly update them. NOTHING will undermine public confidence in the Internet of Things and especially Smart Aging in particular than a few well-publicized security
breeches. It’s good that the Federal Trade Commission has already made a big thing out of fining one of the companies that disregarded privacy and security.
16. It Won’t Be Easy
Person Must Opt In
& Dignity Comes First
Similarly, there’s also a big matter of seniors’ personal choices when it comes to Smart Aging.
They must be the boss: the default choice with any device or service must be that you aren’t included or you don’t share data unless YOU specifically agree to it, and the terms must be laid
out clearly, and simply.
And, when it comes, for example, to wearable devices, their design and appearance can’t stigmatize seniors: they must be either inconspicuous or so accepted by the public that anyone
would want to wear them and even show them off. Contrast the Holter monitor for heart functions on the right to the Zio patch on the left: which would you rather wear? Which would your
grandfather rather wear?
17. It Won’t Be Easy
Health and fitness devices
must be accurate
You can bet that, as the health and fitness devices become more accurate, doctors come to rely on their data, and as the manufacturers begin to make claims for them, the Food and Drug Administration will become involved, as with the
AliveCor Mobile ECG, requiring extensive testing in order for the devices to be certified — and they’ll penalize manufacturers who don’t meet these tests.
18. Worth It In The End!
• Improve seniors’ health & fitness
• Cut their medical bills
• Build their self-esteem
• Cut their living costs
• Let them stay at home, safely
“Smart Aging” is still in its early stages, but the devices and services are evolving quickly, and “network effects” are already at work: the more of them, and the more they are linked, the more
valuable each becomes.
Seniors will enjoy multiple benefits. It will:
• Improve their health & fitness
• Cut their medical bills
• Build their self-esteem
• Cut their living costs
• Let them stay at home, safely.
Smart Aging is already becoming a reality, but I believe it also should become a public policy priority, and receive r & d money and active government support. When it is affordable and
robust, everyone, from seniors to taxpayers, will benefit.
Thank you.
