This co urse was commissioned by Qualcomm and developed at UCSD to teach learners hands-on skills for building IoT devices using a smartphone platform. The thesis in this part of the talk traces how multiple technologies evolved a nd converged - specifically\, (i) circuit switched networks\, (ii) packet switched networks\, (iii) computer-telephony integration\, (iv) wireless t echnologies and (v) features and apps to highlight significant advances th at led up to IoT.\n\nThe second part of this talk will address how the sto ries of the pioneers motivate us to leverage this platform with unpreceden ted potential to build exciting products and services in domains such as d rones\, automotive\, healthcare\, etc. The speaker left Qualcomm about 4 y ears ago and joined UCSD to pursue hard problems in healthcare. The challe nges in connecting billions of sensors to the cloud – low power sensing\ , efficient communication\, distributed processing\, security\, inference\ , etc. – are similar to those in healthcare applications. In addition\, each healthcare application appears to have its own set of unique challeng es – we have made extensive collaborations with clinical community to gu ide us through these. We are presently working on (i) advanced hearing aid s\, (ii) concussion assessment in youth sports\, (iii) falls risk assessme nt and (iv) spasticity assessment in cerebral palsy\, stroke and other neu romuscular disorders.
