The Internet of Things: New Promises for Person with Disabilities
From: G3ict - 08/11/2015

G3ict is proud to present its latest White Paper researched in cooperation
and with the support of AT&T. Drawing on interviews with key stakeholders,
the White Paper explores how the Internet of Things will be a game changer
for persons with disabilities and seniors in the coming years.

Recent developments in both networks and devices are enabling a much greater
range of connected devices and Internet of Things (IoT) functionalities. This
paper explores the impact of the IoT on persons with disabilities.

The Internet of Things opens new opportunities for persons with disabilities
and seniors, giving them an unprecedented control on their environment. Home
automation already provides tools for more independent living, and new
applications appear on the market for health care, transportation, education,
and employment. In the years to come, standardization, security, and privacy
will have to be addressed by industry, government, and users.
