Norfolk County Council, GB NATALI pilot demonstrates the potential for IoT assistive technology

The Norfolk Assistive Technology Application for Living Independently (NATALI) pilot started with IoT sensor installations in select homes. Low-power sensors gather data on resident movement useful for detecting falls and other health issues. Norfolk County Council advances the pilot by connecting sensors to a centralized platform via existing LoRaWAN. Future iterations of the NATALI system allow for customized sensor designs and placements along with real-time updates for carers.

Norfolk County Council, GB takes the lead on the United Kingdom's largest public LoRaWAN project

The Norfolk and Suffolk Innovation Network gathers real-time data on council operations from 220 IoT gateways. Officials first used the network to monitor road conditions and traffic patterns in Norfolk and Suffolk counties. IoT devices inform maintenance and upgrade plans for Norfolk Trails based on usage levels. This free-to-use network supports data-driven decisions by local farms and businesses that were difficult to make prior to its installation.
