Saving Lives with iBeacons (Extended Remix Version)
You’ve probably heard of iBeacons. But have you seen them up close? Or developed apps for them? iBeacon technology is a fun and easy way to start working with Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Cloud City Development has been working with Pop Up Labs at MIT to help develop a solution for educating health professionals about the Maker Movement and how it positively affects the medical community. With the help of iBeacons, health professionals have learned how to start creating their own devices and tools! In this talk, I will first introduce iBeacons. Then I’ll show an example in Swift how to interact with iBeacons within an iOS app. Finally I’ll demonstrate how iBeacons in a Medical Maker Kit, coupled with the Medical Make app for iPad, help medical staff to learn about the items in the kit, which enables them to get creative, build new projects, and ultimately save lives! This talk will give you a glimpse of what can be accomplished with iBeacons and will encourage you to think of new ways in which Bluetooth Low Energy devices like iBeacons can be used to design and develop creative solutions that enhance the experience of life!

Saving Lives with iBeacons (Extended Remix Version)
- 1. Saving lives with iBeacons (Extended Remix Version) Evan K. Stone Lead iOS Developer Cloud City Development // San Francisco
- 2. “An integrated design and so.ware consultancy specializing in web and mobile apps…”
- 4. The Purpose
- 5. Saving Lives with iBeacons
- 6. Will have some technical info
- 7. But really…
- 8. this talk is actually about…
- 10. thinking in ways to improve lives of those around us
- 11. thinking in ways that could save the life of one person
- 12. Designers and Developers working together!
- 13. Designing and building amazing soluJons
- 14. CollaboraJng to help others
- 15. Dreaming of new ways to use technologies like iBeacons
- 16. Not just for the sake of innovaJon…
- 17. But to really help people.
- 18. Maybe even save a life.
- 20. The Jdal wave is upon us.
- 21. The Internet of Things (IoT)
- 22. Especially in the last year
- 23. Flash flood of new devices
- 24. Renewed interest in iBeacons
- 27. They basically do one thing.
- 28. They broadcast some numbers at regular intervals.
- 30. “AdverJsement”
- 31. Payload
- 32. 3 Things
- 33. UUID
- 35. Major Value
- 36. 42
- 37. Minor Value
- 38. 7
- 40. UUID: OrganizaJon/LocaJon Major Value: Category Minor Value: Item
- 41. Key Concept:
- 42. You have to know the values to map them (or know how to get them)
- 43. Bundled locally
- 44. Retrieved from server (bonus points for using locaJon)
- 45. Minimum hardware requirements for BLE development (including iBeacons)
- 46. iPhone 4S (or later) iPod touch (5th generaJon) iPad (3rd generaJon or later) iPad mini (or later)
- 47. iOS 7+ (1.66%)
- 48. Side Note…
- 49. iOS Devices can be iBeacons too!
- 50. AirLocate hlps://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/AirLocate/IntroducJon/Intro.html (you will have to make some modificaJons because it’s broken…)
- 51. 😬
- 52. Devices
- 53. EsJmote
- 56. Gimbal (this is what we used for the project I’ll show you in a bit…)
- 57. Many Others
- 61. Art InstallaJons
- 62. Retail Shops
- 63. Stadiums
- 65. Put a beacon in your luggage.
- 67. Get creaJve! Have fun!
- 69. Geong the right Framework
- 70. iBeacons are BLE devices, right?
- 71. Yes, but…
- 72. In this context we use Core LocaJon!
- 73. huh?
- 74. It makes sense when you think about it.
- 75. iBeacons are proximity devices.
- 76. “I am near you.”
- 77. OK… so how do I use Core LocaJon?
- 78. Three Steps
- 82. var proximityUUID: NSUUID { get }
- 85. Get AuthorizaJon to use LocaJon Services
- 86. Use requestWhenInUseAuthorization() whenever it makes sense to do so
- 88. Beacons will be caught in the didRangeBeacons delegate method
- 89. Demo
- 90. TARDISBeacon
- 92. Geong back to saving lives…
- 93. How can iBeacons save lives?
- 94. Is it really that far-fetched?
- 95. At MIT, Lille Devices Labs has been educaJng medical professionals about the Maker Movement
- 96. They have been traveling around the world showing them DIY concepts and techniques
- 97. Teaching them that these techniques can help them develop tools and soluJons that would either be too costly or not available
- 98. They don’t know these tools and techniques exist.
- 99. hlp://www.popup-labs.com/ “Finding the stealth ingenuity of nurses”
- 101. Medical Maker Kits
- 103. Medical Make App
- 107. Why so important?
- 108. Let’s take one example…
- 109. Asthma.
- 110. 14 million Americans affected by Asthma
- 112. albuterol inhalers cost ~$70 out of pocket and with insurance coverage range from $0-40
- 113. Some would benefit from a Smart Inhaler
- 114. Tracks and monitors their usage
- 115. Cost?
- 116. About $1000 a year.
- 117. Medical Make Demo
- 118. iBeacons allow medical professionals to explore the materials
- 119. –Anna Young, Pop Up Labs “Demys?fies medical technology and devices.”
- 120. The Maker Studios show them how to get started!
- 121. They can build a Smart Inhaler at a fracJon of the cost.
- 122. At least one of the 14 million Asthma sufferers could benefit from a Smart Inhaler.
- 123. With Maker Kits and DIY hopefully that person will get one.
- 124. If we can save just one of those who would be taken by Asthma this year it will be worth it.
- 125. And that’s how we save lives with iBeacons.
