Possible Scenarios
Imagine approaching your home’s door with
groceries in hand, and the heartbeat signature via your wearable signals the door’s smartlock to unlock. While crossing your living room, a sensor on your wrist wearable notices your core body temperature is above average and automatically interacts with Nest thermostat to trigger the air conditioning. Your wearable also includes a sensor to detect hydration levels, and it triggers your smart refrigerator to automatically pour a glass of water for you as you enter the kitchen to unload your groceries.

Possible Scenarios
Imagine jogging along your favorite trail when suddenly you feel a shortness of breath and a painful squeeze in your chest. You stop… and with a flick of a finger, you instantly notify emergency responders of your situation and your location. At the same time, the notification alerts your doctor of the incident and sends your vital statistics.
