Why Where Matters

Our weekly newsletter that tackles the complex world of location based services using concepts from Care Traffic Control. Taping into IoT, digital twins, geolocation and mobile devices we provide insight to an industry that is primed for new ideas.

From air traffic control to care traffic control with Digital Twins

You certainly are familiar with or have at least heard of location based applications used to precisely locate assets, machines, individuals in or out of buildings. Among all these applications, the ones that stand out and frankly really add value, are the ones that don’t just do observation of things location. They are the ones that allow automation and integration into workflows. Location does matter, and we will discuss why with Paul on this new episode of the IoT Show. Paul comes from the world of Air Traffic Control and is an entrepreneur passionate about using IoT and location based services for innovations in healthcare. He even came up with the concept of Care Traffic Control! Don’t forget to subscribe to stay up to date on all things IoT and give us a little like if you appreciate the conversation and leave a comment to share your perspective
