Masterclass: IoT and WSN for Health, Home Management and Smart City

The advancements in electronics, embedded controllers, smart communicating devices as well as the progress towards a better informed, knowledge based society increase the demand for small size, affordable sensors that allow accurate and reliable data recording, processing, storing and communication. This led to the paradigm known as Internet of Things (IoT) in which Wireless Sensor Nodes are most important elements.

The masterclass will present research activities on development of IoT and WSN based system towards managing our health and home in a better way. A holistic view of IoT, its challenges and opportunities will be presented. A recently concluded commonwealth funded project on smart city will be shared. We have also organised a quiz at the end of the session and attendees who complete the quiz with 75% correct answers will be awarded a digital certificate of participation.
