to a more ‘consumable’ future.
But none of these advancements are
possible unless we have access to a system
of action that allows us to leverage the
information coming out of the IoT in the
first place. To put it another way, all the IoT
‘things’ are useless unless you can drive
action from the information and alerts that
they generate.
As we look to use this new system of
action, we can point it towards the specific
components of IoT that we are actually
interested in. If you think about all the

outcomes might cause the user to change
their exercise regime, alter their diet and
perhaps ultimately visit the doctor.
