Sensors play important roles in smart living and healthcare applications, not only performing the data capturing, also integrating various software algorithms to enable innovative user scenarios. However, only providing sensing functions without having sensibility for user value will not have sustainable businesses. How to deliver total solutions combining hardware and software to enable machine learning and maximize user value should differentiate winners from others.
For example, in home applications, people use home appliances such as air conditions, washing machines, thermostats, and IP Surveillances. These sensor-based appliances detect and capture the status of power consumption, analyze and understand user behavior, and create new business model of service to benefit home energy saving and safety.
IEK of ITRI will analyze the worldwide trends of sensing and sensibility for IoX in smart living and healthcare application, and also introduce the use cases of smart sensor application and Taiwan sensor-related microsystem Industry development.
