Last Year's Google Glass Challenge
Wearables in Healthcare Challenge—Final Smackdown!
Join us at Google on April 23 for our second annual pitch-off competition to crown the Grand Prize winner of our Wearables in Healthcare Challenge! Like last year, we'll be offering the amazing craft beers, wines and hors d'oeuvres from Google's top chef, starting at 6:00 and flowing throughout the evening. The main event will be the "Final Smackdown"—a pitch-off between the eight finalists of the online voting. While our expert panel of judges, including Naomi Fried of Biogen Idec, deliberates to choose a winner, we will hold a panel discussion to explore the future of wearables in healthcare.
The Muse Brain-Sensing Headband
New This Year—Demo Tables
This year to shake things up we will feature demonstrations of the latest wearables throughout the venue. Want to try on a wristband that can make you feel warmer or cooler? A brain-sensing headband? A wearable body temperature sensor? You won't be disappointed. And rumor has it that Google's own Wearables Team will be demonstrating their latest gadgets.
Last year the event sold out completely, so get your tickets early!
