Value proposition of smart bulbs for the assisted living segment
For the most part, smart bulbs are perceived as just another consumer novelty device… but this ubiquitous app-controlled IoT device (depending on its implementation scenario) can equally be useful as a connected health solution
Specifically, providers could leverage some of the inherent traits of a typical smart bulb – i.e. hands-free operation, multi-colored visual cues and even sound & suite of sensors (if built-in) – to specifically design value propositions that support the assisted living segment
3 key value propositions –
- Remote and/or automated control of home lighting
- Distinct visual aid & alerts associated with key events (smoke, fire, flooding, et al.)
- Key part of a broader connected IoT based home security solution
