The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has reshaped the industrial system, agricultural system, healthcare systems, and even our daily livelihoods, as the number of IoT applications is surging in these fields. Still, numerous challenges are imposed when putting in place such technology at large scale. In a system of millions of connected devices, operating each one of them manually is impossible, making IoT platforms unmaintainable. In this study, we present our attempt to achieve the autonomy of IoT infrastructure by building a platform that targets a dynamic and quick Plug and Play (PnP) deployment of the system at any given location, using predefined pipelines. The platform also supports real-time data processing, which enables the users to have reliable and real-time data visualization in a dynamic dashboard.

Mobility is essential for older adults to keep a good level of socialization, health and well-being. Still, aging is often accompanied by multiple mobility-related challenges. Hence, these mobility limitations make travel and use of public transport a big challenge. Numerous mobility trip planner tools can be found now days. However, they are not adapted to older adults’ needs and preferences. We discuss in this paper our attempt to develop a one-stop platform to help older adults in their mobility where, when, and how they want. We introduce our co-creation approach, our software architecture, as well as our first prototype.
