06/26/18 • 19 min
Today on The IoClothes Podcast, we’ll be sharing a featured presentation I recently gave at the Wear It Berlin conference in Berlin, Germany. The title of my talk, “The Next Chapter of Body Worn Technology”. During the presentation, we review a brief history of modern body worn computers, how it’s evolved and where we’re placing our chips.
I also discuss a key product development strategy we’re seeing implemented more and more. The concept: “open systems” versus “closed systems”. It’s a critical distinction and strategy to consider as we look forward to the next generation of body worn technology.

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we had the tremendous honor and privilege of speaking with another luminary of the smart textiles world, Steve Leftly, Founder of Myovolt. To give some context: At the same time Stacey Burr and her team were working on cutting-edge innovations in the smart textiles space in the US, Steve and his teams at Softswitch and Fibretronic were on the other side of the world, New Zealand and the UK, also exploring the limits of smart textiles)!
