The field of embedded systems is in full evolution (low consumption, computing power, autonomy, real time, safety), with connected objects probably being the most striking representatives. Concerning Carnot STAR's themes, the growing interest of consumers for the quantify-self (self-measurement) favours the adoption of connected objects capable of measuring personal data, analysing and sharing them. The sports segment is reinforcing the diffusion of connected objects related to this quantify-self, even allowing the launch of new data-based services (friendly sports challenges, "gamification").
