This document discusses using M2M technology to create a sports medicine solution that monitors impacts to hockey players' helmets. It proposes using sensors in helmets connected to a multi-service gateway that collects data and sends alerts if impact thresholds are exceeded. The gateway would integrate this data with an M2M integration platform providing real-time analytics and historical data access to authorized users. It outlines the various technology building blocks like gateways, integration platforms, and sensor networks that could enable such a proof of concept.

2. The Internet of Things
M2M Applications Everywhere

3. The Internet of Things
• IT centric, cloud based M2M connectivity
platforms as building blocks for enterprise IT
• Implementation of “Enterprise Service Bus”
architectures to allow an easy integration of different
device data systems and applications
• Multi Service Gateway approach to integrate and
consolidate data streams and future proof investments
• IT centric application development to implement
business logic in smart edge devices / service
gateways
• Of the shelf purpose built devices designed to meet
vertical market value propositions
