Curious about WashU’s Digital Transformation initiative? Have ideas or want to get involved? Join the Digital Transformation implementation team for coffee and a collaborative discussion with researchers and innovators across the university working in prioritized digital domains.

This week’s special guest is Mary Ruppert-Stroescu, joining us to present and discuss how one of the problems of current remote health sensing systems is compliance. Combining fashion with function, we explore ways to unobtrusively collect and send biometric data to medical professionals and caregivers, expanding the potential of remote health monitoring, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Digital Transformation implementation is sponsored by the Office of the Provost as part of the university-wide strategic plan.
