Internet of Things (IoT) in Sport - Thematic Intelligence

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the use of connected sensors and actuators to control and monitor the environment, the things that move within it, and the people that act within it. Companies in the sports industry can realize value from the data collected by IoT technologies. For example, data regarding an athlete’s performance collected by wearables using sensors can be sent to coaches, fans, or a medical team through control systems that track and monitor connected devices.
