IoT - Internet of Thing is a tiny device (electronic sensor) used to collect the bulk signal or information and transfer them to the datastore (big data) for further analysis (AI - Artificial Analysis / ML - Machine Learning) to predict the possible future outcome.
The prediction will be more accurate while the information pool / sample being big enough.
IoT standalone, itself could be tons of sensors to report real time alert or dangerous.
In the real cases below, the IoT is improving people's life.
Case 1: Patient Vital Sign in Hospital |
|
  On screen patient vital sign is shown on nurse station |
 Patient vital sign could be monitored in real time and alert could be sent to medical consultant immediately when there vital sign is not within the safe boundary |
 Vital sign and probes data sent to the central station |
|
Case 2: Station control and report duty system |
|
 Station and the equipment report the GPS location in real time |
 Site worker and the staff report duty at the station with mobile phone in real time |
 Super long life, battery powered, IP67 GPS tracking device |
