Enhanced Lighting for the Internet of Things – ELIoT

An EU Horizon 2020 project. It is led by the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute. The central aim of the project is the development of mass-market Internet of Things (IoT) solutions using LiFi, a next-generation wireless communication network, that travels over light instead of radio waves.

Electrohypersensitivity – EHS

It happens when someone feels that they're extra sensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMFs).  EHS is characterized by a variety of non-specific symptoms that differ from individual to individual. The symptoms are certainly real and can vary widely in their severity. Whatever its cause, EHS can be a disabling problem for the affected individual.
