An expert in the Internet of Things, Patrick Kramer’s aim is to turn other people into super-humans. People have been trying to upgrade themselves for decades, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to have other senses too? Implants and devices allow us to feel time, or feel where the North is, thus helping our bodies learn new capabilities. And the interest towards microchip implants, especially, is rising, with endless possibilities of use. In the future, we might forgo devices altogether as we become connected humans.
In addition to his consultancy work, Dr. Patrick Kramer is also the founder and CEO of the “Digiwell - Smart up your life!” platform, launched in 2014 as a way of addressing key issues of importance to the digital transformation. In this capacity, he has seen his prediction become reality, with wearables no longer only worn but also implanted.Besides promoting wearables, neuro-feedback and biohacking equipment, he is also a popular speaker on the latter, as well as on digital lifestyle. He himself is also “chipped”, and is a member of the German Cyborgs Club.
