Smart phones, smart watches, smart cars, smart homes. Everything around us is getting \u201csmarter\u201d as everyday objects are increasingly interconnected through the Internet of Things<\/a>. The latest innovation comes from Xetal, who has developed a potentially groundbreaking technology called Kinsei. <\/em><\/p>\n

The digital sixth sense<\/h2>\n

Kinsei<\/a>, which Xetal describes as a \u201cdigital sixth sense\u201d uses noninvasive technologies to locate, count, and track the movements of people in indoor spaces, without relying on people to carry smart devices. It uses \u201cpositioning sensors\u201d placed around the room to \u201cdetect and track\u201d people\u2019s movement within a 30 centimeter margin of error. Kinsei can count the number of people in a room, and can track the movement of up to three people per room at the same time, \u201cmaking real time behavioral analysis a reality.\u201d Using this technology, \u201cit is possible to understand what is happening in the room, what people are doing and determine what is likely to happen next.\u201d<\/p>\n

No recording or identifying<\/h2>\n

Kind of creepy, right? Except that Kinsei uses no cameras, audio recording devices, or identification technology. So although Kinsei can be used to track your motions through a room, it cannot be used to record or identify you. Xetal is marketing Kinsei as \u201cthe perfect technology for when respect for personal privacy is a must.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the lack of cameras is reassuring, I found myself wondering exactly why someone would want to employ such a technology. The promotional video showing parents monitoring their young children getting out of bed past bedtime failed to inspire me. However, I was more impressed by Xetal\u2019s pitch for Kinsei technology to be used for \u201csmart senior care,\u201d and to help workers in care facilities and hospitals.<\/p>\n

Smart buildings for care<\/h2>\n

Kinsei technology can be used either in a care facility, or at home, to monitor elderly patients, or those who are ill or have limited mobility. By recognizing movement patterns, Kinsei could be used to alert caregivers if a patient has a fall or another emergency.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Could your business find application for Kinsei technology?<\/p>\n
