In a May 2015 interview with Memoori, we asked Professor Harald Haas – the man who coined the term LiFi and co-founder of pureLiFi – where he sees the technology in three to five years. He responded: “In three to five years we would have seen the deployment of LiFi for specific applications, our major focus [at that stage] would be convincing other industries of the benefits of LiFi for their applications… you highlighted potential applications in the healthcare sector as likely early adopters. LiFi can play a huge role within healthcare, providing comprehensive health monitoring benefits, increasing patient comfort, cost savings and easing pressure on hospitals, among other things. I foresee wearable devices with an integrated micro-LED, in an earring for example, that could measure blood pressure, temperature, even the composition of your blood. This data can then be transferred to the sensors in smart LEDs allowing patients to be monitored 24/7.” Reminding Haas […]
