Wearable Conference 2018 @ Scottsdale, AZ

03/21/2018 – 03/23/2018, Scottsdale Plaza Resort, Scottsdale, AZ

Good to know Profs. Shaoping Bai, Chang-Soo Han, Hermano Igo Krebs, Hao Su, etc. in the academia; Nikhil, Christian, Jeffrey, Borislav, Ping, Jin, Yonnel, Mark, Corneil, etc. working in the industry.

It was also impressive that the Chinese company Fourier Intelligence (I met its founders a year ago in WearRAcon 17) got the US FDA approval to sell their upper limb training device in the US.

Another good thing to know is that there would be proceedings in next year’s WearRAcon. Cannot wait to help organize the conference.
