  List at least 3 IoT applications that are most needed in today’s living.
What effect will the internet of things (IoT) have on our daily lives?
The IoT applications that are most needed in today’s living are smart home
appliances, health monitoring and smart farming.
First, smart home appliances this work with the active use of IoT applications.
Smart home devices collect and share information with one another in an integrated
platform and automate their actions based on the owner’s preference. They engage
in a learning process to understand the preferences of their owner. One of smart
home applications can be Smart Thermostats, which monitor and control home
temperatures to the comfort of the owner. Also, there is smart lighting as well where
the lighting adjusts themselves based on the user preference as well as external
lighting. The IoT aims to develop internet connectivity for the daily purpose devices
that can efficiently send and receive data. But it is not only for daily purposes the IoT
can help us in state of emergencies think about forest fires and earthquakes
because of smart devices we are informed quickly in order to respond efficiently.
Next, health monitoring since getting periodic information about the status of
your family's health has become an essential requirement these days. Health-
tracking devices help you to monitor health in real-time. A lot of people already have
access to several forms of wearables like fitness bands and blood pressure monitors
to help with their health. Sudden changes in temperature, blood pressure, heart rate,
breathing, etc. are being notified, thereby allowing you to take necessary actions on
time. These IoT devices have been implemented in the health sector in a great
number and they are producing exemplary results as well. These devices have the
capability to detect various health problems at a time. After the detection the devices
inform family members on how the can control the diseases it also provides detailed
information about the drugs to the responders.
Moreover, IoT smart farming is also one of the needed application in today’s
living since agricultural sector provides food resources and livestock’s for human to
survive. IoT smart farming that enables farmers to use tools to monitor weather, soil
composition, soil moisture levels, crop health and growth, and livestock activity. The
data can also be analyzed to determine the best time to harvest plants and create
fertilizer profiles and schedules. Data from devices can guide farmers’ decisions,
helping them farm smarter and safer and adapt more quickly to changing conditions.
Smart farming enhanced product quality and volume to achieve better control over
the production process and maintain higher standards of crop quality and growth
capacity through automation. Hence, demands from wide numbers of consumers are
being supplied or provided simultaneously.
