On Tuesday, May 6, 12:00pm USA EDT, Barbara von Halle is going to present a webinar on the "Event Model" that we have developed together (along with Fabian Fournier, Sarit Arcushin and Larry Goldberg). You can register to the webinar using this link. I was told that registration to the webinar so far has exceeded the expectation, and Barb is a great speaker. I look forward to get any feedback on this webinar.
I have not written for a while, spent a few days in vacation in Rhodes in a family trip - album is available on facebook, and then I was busy preparing a presentation for the board of directors of the college which sponsors the "Institute of Technological Empowerment" which I am now working on establishment. The presentation is in Hebrew, have not made a lot of presentations in Hebrew recently, and intend to create an English version to share it with larger audience. When I'll do, I'll post it on slideshare.
I came across a blog post by Stephenson Strategies entitled: "Seniors and the Internet of Things: Empowerment and Security". As a matter of fact senior citizen are one of the target populations of the institute I am trying to establish, and we are working with experts in gerontology. The Internet of Things provides opportunities to empower aging population to maintain independent life in various means, by using smart systems that receives events from sensors and determine actions, which are mostly alerts to the person, family, healthcare taker and more. The cited post relates to health issues, but this can extend to other issues that can improve quality of life and increase the person's security. I'll write more about concrete projects we are planning later.
