The data compiled by these smart home devices can unearth some significant discoveries and help make a positive impact environmentally.”

“Our burgeoning global population is straining our housing supply worldwide. We must do everything we’re able to avoid a tangential energy crisis, and smart apartment technology is uniquely positioned to do so,” said Felicite Moorman, CEO, STRATIS IoT.

“One of the trends we’ve followed over the past couple years is the prominence of companies partnering in the healthcare industry,” said Chris Otto, SVP, MobileHelp. “This is a concept our company has been utilizing successfully from its inception, because we’ve found those partnerships have allowed us to achieve some of our longer-term objectives while creating higher-quality outcomes for our consumers, on both the retail and healthcare sides of our business.”
