35 | Simply Tech LIVE #3 | IoT Connected HAND SANITIZER - Quantifying Behavior, to Augment Behavior

Today's episode features an audio recording of a LinkedIn Live Video Broadcast of a LIVE show, Simply Tech LIVE , that my co-host Ali Mazaheri, and I host at the Microsoft Technology Center in Irvine, and now virtually for the time being. The mission of the LIVE Broadcast is to focus on the evolving landscape of technology through the lens of Microsoft focus areas, our partner ecosystem, and our customers.The LIVE discussion features Kevin Orbaker, Chief Technology Architect at the Microsoft Technology Center in Irvine, and we talk specifically about why, It's never been a more important time to utilize technology to quantify and augment behavior that can enhance operational efficiency - and more recently, this could mean reduction of both highly-preventable infections and spread of disease.A very relevant topic in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we talk about a real life solution hosted with Microsoft IoT and data service technologies. PURELL SMARTLINK, a set of technology solutions from GOJO (inventor of Purell), and how this solution, on Microsoft's cloud Azure, streamlines the hand sanitization process with motion sensors, internet-connected dispensers and a cloud platform that collects and analyzes data.The CDC claims that hand-washing reduces incidents of common ailments by nearly 60 percent in some cases., and quantifying behavior is a critical component to augmenting behavior.We talk through the following in the chat:1) Overview of a LIVE demo of the hand sanitization process - internet-connected dispensers with data analysis in the cloud2) Motion sensor use cases and other data input feeds for better patient care and operational efficiency3) Additional IoT use cases and solutions that exist today in Azure, complexities of IoT, and IIot and industrial applications4) Lastly we talk about World Down Syndrome Day, with is March 21st, the importance of awareness around down syndrome, we talk about challenges of raising kids with disabilities, and what parents have learned from it, and how technology is aiding in these areasThanks for listening:How to reach Kevin:LinkedINGitHubTwitterHow to watch Simply Tech LIVESimply Tech LIVE | LInkedIn LIVE On-demand FeedLinkedIn PageResources:Handwashing: Clean Hands Save Lives2016 IoT Attack: MiraiMicrosoft Technology CentersSeeing AI: An app for visually impaired people that narrates the world around youAI Powered Agriculture | Microsoft FarmBeatsSwiftKey: Autocorrect that actually worksHow GOJO Industries, inventor of PURELL Hand Sanitizer, helps hospitals monitor hand hygiene with secure IoT dispensersCoronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) | How to protect yourselfHow Microsoft is helping make hospitals cleanerLearn more at www.thedatabinge.comConnect with Derek on LinkedIn | Instagram | Twitter
