Add to Calendar 5/29/2020 10:00:00 AM 5/29/2020 10:30:00 AM Possible Talk: Zach Kabelac of Emerald Innovation

This talk will present a new technology developed by Emerald Innovations that uses radio signals and machine learning to sense people through walls and occlusions. It uses low power reflections to learn how people walk, breath, sleep, and more, without any sensor on the person's body.  The technology is currently being used by numerous medical doctors to better understand their patients and symptoms from chronic diseases such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and even COVID-19.

MassBio makes every effort to accommodate our entire community at each of our events. Please let us know at least 3 days in advance of the event if you require special accommodations, such as captioning.
