A different way to think about IoT

 As you all know by now, I write a lot about IoT because I think it's the tipping point for our future. However, how can we talk about IoT to non-geeks to get then to understand just how important IoT is to our future?! What if we approached it from if you could know in advance that something you own, are responsible for or care about, like an appliance, a car, a body part,was going to have problems, wouldn’t you want to know so that you could fix it?! This is the power of IoT — allowing things to send and receive data and to know something new and valuable that could change a life for the better. IT doesn't get more powerful than this!

IdioT = Internet Diagnostic Intelligence of Things. Sure, I just coined that phrase, but I think it's relevant for healthcare. ;) We are experiencing in our lifetimes a quantum shift from medicine being 90% reactive and 10% proactive, to, not only real-time health monitoring, but powerful predictive and prescriptive tools that are able to better treat existing conditions tailored more for each individual and, ideally, preventing adverse conditions from manifesting in patients. The real question here is adoption: how will Providers embrace these emerging technologies and what will Patients commit to while healthy (wearables, scans, specimen testing, etc.) to stay healthy?
