Review Highlights Talk at RTECC 2015

Below is an excerpt from John Blyler’s JB Systems Tech blog that reviews Walt’s recent “Sensors, Wearables and IoT” talk at RTECC 2015.

“I was captivated by a more laid-back speaker (along with a room full of engineers at standing room only, I might add). The speaker clearly knew his stuff and I learned much more than expected in the session.”

The post gives details of three key points in the talk:

  • Electronic augmentation of what were traditionally mechanical or optical devices is not only here to stay, but will continue to grow rapidly. Wearable devices are getting smarter and it is an evolutionary change, not a fad.
  • One popular example of a successful wearable device is the Active Mind Golf device. Active Mind case study
  • There is a fine line on what constitutes an actual medical device. Read the details in our article “Are You Making a Medical Device?”
