Top 3 Takeaways:

  • There is an opportunity to turn data generated by neuro medical devices into insights that are easy to digest
  • "free, the data, free the data! And I was thinking - to whom? And what are they going to do with it? It's like someone delivering boxes upon boxes of papers to your front door. And you're like I don't know what to do with it. Free the data is great, but to help me make sense of it is even greater."
  • "If you want to design for better usage and for better outcomes, you need to think psychology as well as technology"
