Quanterion Solutions Led “Wearable IoT for Healthcare and Defense” Workshop

Event Facilitated by ORION, an Internet of Things Ecosystem, and Partners

Quanterion Solutions partnered with local organizations to provide an Internet of Things (IoT) workshop, “Wearable IoT for Healthcare and Defense.” This hybrid workshop was facilitated through the Open-Architecture, Resilient IoT for Operational Networks (ORION), which is an IoT ecosystem and technology accelerator based in Rome, NY.  Wearable IoT for Healthcare and Defense revolved around exploring current and future uses of wearable technology for medical and defense applications. Sessions included:

  • Embedded Systems Fundamentals: The Heartbeat of Medical Wearables
  • Modern Health & Performance Challenges: Bridging the Gap with ​Wearable Tech
  • Keeping it Private: Medical Data Security at Rest & In-Transit
  • Wearables for the Warfighter​
  • And other key topics related to wearable IoT technology

The workshop also included a panel discussion with experts from Rome Health, Syracuse University School of Information Studies, and others and was titled, “The Future – Innovations in Medical Wearable Tech​.”

“One of the primary goals for this workshop focused on critical thinking for applying IoT innovations to defense and medical applications,” said Patch. “Solution developers must analyze the problem they are trying to solve, the information required, how that data is collected/analyzed, and many other considerations before they can securely, successfully, and efficiently implement IoT technology. We appreciate all the expert speakers who worked alongside our SMEs to provide practical information our audience can apply in the workforce.”
