"Organizational Culture - Creating an Organization That Doesn't Suck Your Will To Live"

Online Webinar

Speaker: Kimberly Wiefling, Co-Founder of Silicon Valley Alliances

Details: An Organization’s DNA is the historical reason why groups of people behave the way they do. It is the genetic code at the root of these behaviors. You could spend 20 years, as Kimberly has, reading a pile of books, digging through data, experimenting, and exploring what makes for an effective company culture that produces predictable and repeatable results without sucking people’s will to live…or you could just implement the methods proven to work by years of statistically valid research!

A good place to start is your own personal commitment to absolute integrity in everything you say and do, and a passion for enabling others to achieve their greatest potential through your work together.

In this webinar, we'll explore how to engage your people in a personal journey to discover your organization’s unique identity, and then use that shared identity to create truly engaged employees and a truly cohesive team.

Wearables for the Ear: Medical and Personal Applications for
Ear-Worn Devices

Online Webinar

Speaker: Gary Spittle – Founder & CEO, Sonical

Details: We use our ears to make sense of what is going on around us, to interact with other people, and to learn. And with the use of headphones, we can listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, watch movies, make phone calls, and play games…

But in addition to listening to the world and listening to audio, we can also listen to our bodies! The ear is an incredibly rich source of information for our general health and wellness. We can gather metrics such as heart rate and heart-rate variability, oxygen level, motion, temperature, brain activity, voice metrics, and many other things. Regular monitoring of this data can provide essential insight and early warning signals, which can enable medical professionals to better diagnose and treat a variety of conditions.

The next generation of ear-worn devices is coming.

Speaker: Arne Lang-Ree, Co-Founder & CDO at Spanner Product Development

Details: Devices in the IoT universe are at increased susceptibility to a technology-first approach to design since market acceptance places much value on bleeding edge technologies. Certainly, while optimal performance achieved with leading technologies can play an important role in the success of a new product, we will talk about other perspectives and practices driving success through design, maybe with even greater influence on product success than the specific technologies employed.

Adhesive Challenges with Wearables and IoT Devices

Designing a medical device has many challenges. Creating wearable medical devices that stick to the skin is high on that list of challenges. For wearable devices to function as intended, they need to have a secure, reliable hold for the desired duration of use. Adhesives play a crucial role in ensuring that devices don’t fall off or injure the skin.

JoAnne Moody explores selecting adhesives for Wearable & IoT Devices in this session. Based on the increasing trend for devices attached to the skin, it is essential to consider adhesive selection early in the design phase. Key factors to consider include device design and application needs, such as wear time, wear location, sterilization, and biocompatibility. Skin adhesive development steps involve mockup prototypes and tests.
