The First Mover Advantage (and Challenges)

Session Abstract: As the Edge/IoT markets develop and expand, they’re replete with opportunities to do something that’s never been done before — and thus enjoy the benefits of the “first mover”. Pioneering first mover, new product categories requires unique and uncommon insights and approaches. This simply because there’s no history, no direct experience, and no statistically significant market data. Dr. Tom will discuss the benefits and challenges of being a first mover in the Edge/IoT marketplace, the rich opportunities, and share some real world experiences with his special guest, a fellow first mover category creator. Speakers: Dr. Tom Bradicich is...

Healthcare IoT CoE Panel – Leveraging IoT to Address Healthcare’s Most Critical Problems

Session Abstract: IoT devices have tremendous potential to revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered when we understand how to harness their power and operationalize them in clinical settings. As healthcare providers grapple with how to perform better and achieve more with less, they can use IoT to expand functionality and precision of care and alleviate the burden and myriad inefficiencies of the current care delivery structure. A single patient can generate over one million data points during a single hospital stay, but the challenge comes with distilling this information into actionable insights. Listen to experts from across the spectrum of...

IoT Evolution in the Digital Oilfield

Session Abstract: A decade and a half ago, years before the term IoT was prominent, the oil and gas industry saw a critical need for wireless sensor technology for many applications in upstream, midstream, and downstream, for monitoring wells, pipelines, refining, and chemical operations. The requirements were driven by the need to eliminate the need for using cables to connect sensors to SCADA systems and to monitor assets in very remote locations. Eliminating cable installation resulted in accelerating deployment time, cost reduction, and eliminating complex logistics of cabling. Most of these wireless sensors had to be installed near the processes...

The Essential Need for Explicit IoT Identities

Session Abstract: Most identity solutions currently used in the Internet focus on non-explicit identity for individuals for use in e-commerce and other human-centric applications. While these solutions work well for their intended use cases, in the case of the IoT, the potential high cost of abuse requires much more explicit identity solutions for both home and industrial use cases. The talk will present an overview of the requirements for an effective explicit identity solution for the IoT as well as how these requirements can be addressed.
