Themes
1. Getting data from devices and using it in useful ways, for example, using the data for:
Fitness
Sleep or Food
Chronic illness management
Calculation and recommendation
Incremental healthier lifestyle
2. "Kick the habit"
Changing people’s daily habits through devices, for example, using a device to help you:
Eat slowly
Go for a walk
Brush teeth
Stay focused on a task
Reduce stress
Try a new attitude
Help the elderly
3. "Making devices which actually fit into the lives of the elderly - they don’t use smartphones..."
A walking stick that measures exercise
A pillow that measures blood oxygen levels
A coffee pot which asks how you’re doing
Dentures which adjust to the type of food you’re eating
