Nima, device that allows you to test your food for unwanted ingredients, starting with gluten, Nima Labs, Inc., San Francisco, California, USA

One overlooked area in the IoT world is how chemical sensors can provide valuable information. How is tracking chemistry useful? Most chemistry tracking devices, like glucose monitors, are not connected to the Internet, but there’s an emerging crop of devices that do. This is fantastic for the medical community, but what happens when we track chemistry for consumer health? At 6SensorLabs, we’re looking at how we can use chemistry data from a connected device to detect allergens in food.

We will be using our work at 6SensorLabs to highlight the path we see moving the industry and to discuss how to make this data valuable for a larger audience.
