Moving from Legacy Development Tools to transformative DevOps with Enterprise...Infostretch
DevOps is a movement, a vision and a series of processes. But at its core, the right technology needs to be in place to make it a coordinated and efficient practice. In this webinar, we discuss the challenges related to a number of legacy tools and why it makes sense to upgrade to more complete toolsets. Join us as we discuss the strategic gains and day-to-day improvements that can be realized from deploying enterprise scale continuous delivery with CloudBees Jenkins Platform. We will also explain the practicalities of a migration to enterprise-scale Jenkins, from planning to execution – as well as the results that enterprises can expect to gain when complete.
Attendees will learn:
- The challenges of legacy DevOps tools
- Planning a migration to newer DevOps tools
- Tips and tricks for a smooth migration
- The benefits of upgrading to the CloudBees Jenkins Platform
Presenters:
Kari Price, Director, Partner Marketing, Cloudbees
Sanil Pillai, Director, Infostretch Labs, Infostretch
For the Fall 2015 semester, our final project was focused on exploring the disruptive status of wearable technology. My group focused on the category of hearables: here are our findings.
The Internet of Things is everywhere. But, contrary to popular belief, it's not as easy as "just put a chip in it." This presentation discusses the subtle nuances on how to design consumer IoT products with the end-user in mind.
“Switching on my ears” a case study: Designing a hand held device for bionic ...Matt
Designing a physical hand-held device presents a number of unique challenges. Designing that device predominantly for use by folks with impaired physical abilities introduces another layer of complexity. Ensuring that the experience is appropriate for an audience ranging from five year-old kids to ninety five year-old retirees while they control one of their primary senses is just downright difficult.
Matt & Shane recently worked with Australian innovator and international success story Cochlear in design of a new device to help bionic ear implant recipients monitor and control their hearing. The design represented an evolution to a simpler more usable second-generation device.
Matt & Shane are joined by Cochlear Technical Product Lead (and some time “User Fairy”) Rami Banna as they walk through key aspects of this project.
Particular attention is given to:
Design artefacts including wireframes and screen mock-ups illustrating the evolution from early design concepts through to refined user interface.
The full UX lifecycle including; ethnographic research, iterative interaction design cycles and usability testing with real Cochlear implant recipients.
The approach taken to coordinate a design exercise across multiple teams including; industrial design, ergonomics, electronics, software design, graphic design and small screen user interface design.
The delicate balance required when attempting to improve a user experience without completely confounding the expectations of a large and vocal existing user-base.
The objective of this case study is to provide conference delegates with genuine insight into the design process by exposing the methods but also by showing the actual designs at various points of their development.
Along the way, we will detail the pitfalls encountered and outline the practical solutions that were applied. Processes and lessons learned are applicable across UX projects of all types, not just mobile and hand-held product design projects.

Cristian Barcan, Regional Head SET - Applied Sustainability for Americas & Asia/Pacific, BASF Nutrition & Health
Roman Smith, Director, Sustainability Operations, Corporate Sustainability & Philanthropy, AT&T
While no one has direct-to-consumer communication of sustainability data completely figured out – especially when it comes to complex data such based on LCA or supply chain impacts – this session aims to discuss how brands are prioritizing existing options. Expect substance-rich case studies and valuable insights around ways to weigh competing ideas for communicating complex environmental and social impacts. Speakers will also share what research they are relying on to inform decisions in this context.
We’re facing a sad reality: 95% of products fail!
Unfortunately, it’s getting even more challenging these days, as transformations accelerate all around us.
So how should leaders go about their product development to maximize their chances of success?
There’s no magic framework for product success, but the proper preparation and sequence will go a long way.
In a nutshell, successful product teams know how to apply three fundamental principles:
● They know their target audience in and out.
● They develop a clear vision and mission.
● They align strategy with vision.
In this presentation, Tanguy Leborgne will help you deconstruct each of these three principles.
We’ll debunk major myths on customer research. We’ll dive into how to get deep customer insights. We’ll analyze some of the best company visions out there.
Finally, we’ll connect the dots by studying continuous product discovery and how it helps deliver the correct product.
Full of examples from world-class leaders and Tanguy’s own experience as an executive, this presentation will give any aspiring product leader the foundation for product success.
Leveraging AI to Understand SDOH Webinar Infostretch
Medical costs in the United States are escalating while many populations are still not receiving the care they deserve. Data may be able to help solve this dilemma.
Performing an exploratory data analysis on SDOH can help us understand why certain populations may not have access to the necessities of good health. Creating visual depictions of this data can illuminate trends and illustrate the disparities in healthcare dynamics between communities.
This webinar will further explore these themes as well as offer key takeaways including:
The role of data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in collecting and analyzing information related to SDOH
Categorizing qualities of people in a qualitative way and using that to understand more about a person and their quality of life
How using exploratory data analysis and visualization of SDOH could guide decisions made on the multinational level for the future of healthcare
Secure Real Time Monitoring & Analysis for IoT Product EngineeringInfostretch
Poor visibility, limited analytics capabilities, and overly complex configuration updates are among the key challenges facing MedTech and IoT product engineering companies today. Join AWS and Infostretch on October 6th to learn how a new framework that brings remote monitoring, management and analysis together on a single platform, will give engineering and operations teams the insight they need to proactively support their customers.
IoT product engineering teams will be familiar with managing device operations in different silos for different technology layers. This makes it difficult to determine how well devices are performing on the ground, and analyzing the root cause of device failure can be extremely challenging and time-consuming. In this webinar, we will take a detailed look at Infostretch’s Remote Device Management Platform (RDMP), which is currently available on the AWS marketplace, and explore its key benefits, including:
• IoT Device Optimization – How RDMP enhances device usability by both understanding usage and error patterns and determining device health and failure.
• Valuable Insight – How RDMP enables IoT product engineering teams to start collecting data from edge devices to the cloud with just a few minor configurations and integrations.
• Configurable Dashboards – How dashboards can be used for remote device management, real-time monitoring and analytics visualization of user journeys and device events.

Hyper-connected apps: Hyper-Connected Apps: Testing Peripherals and Mobile Ap...Infostretch
Remember how apps used to be? They connected to the internet and incorporated one device at most. Sure, testers had to factor in performance under different usage conditions, but we had great testing toolsets in place to deal with that. Fast forward to the present. These days sensors enable much more diverse functionality from our connected devices or smartphones and that means mobile app testing is no longer just about testing the app. Smartphones now include many sensors that interface with the ecosystem around them. These software and hardware components can all too easily play havoc with the apps themselves. During his presentation, Sivakumar Anna will share the complexity of peripherals testing. He will demonstrate sensor testing scenarios including location, camera, TouchID and Bluetooth. Drawing on his years of experience in this testing domain, Sivakumar will describe current industry best practices, specific challenges and how to overcome them. He will illustrate these unique issues with a case study involving device peripheral automation for one the leading medical device & solution providers.

InfoStretch & Peloton - Putting IoT to workInfostretch
The people behind Peloton Cycle recognized a paradox in modern fitness. Many people want to get fit at home and balk at joining a sports team or gym. Yet home fitness routines are notoriously less successful—precisely because they lack social interaction. So with the creation of the Peloton Cycle, an indoor exercise bike capable of live streaming and on-demand group cycling classes/rides which anyone can join, the developers hit on a way to bring sporting social interaction into everyone’s home. Join Yony Feng and Harshal Vora as they discuss the process of Peloton’s developing and testing the technology that would make the concept a reality. Making the rides realistic required a virtual-reality-like answer, so that the video streaming on the bike’s tablet would correspond with the actions from the bike and vice-versa—all while designing social interactions to push and inspire the riders. This required some completely new technology combined with existing technology. See how agile development and test automation were fundamental to this project—to deal with the unknowns and stay on track.

10. Stress
The Problem
Source: The American Psychological Association's "Stress in America: 2015 Report."
According to the APA, the percentage of Americans who have:
• Had increased stress in the last 5 years: 44%
• Over-eaten due to stress in the past month: 40%
• Had trouble sleeping due to stress in the
past month: 40%
and…
• Percentage of children whose say their parents’
stress has negatively impacted them: 86%
11. Active TimeResonance Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
• Uses your heart rate measurements to calculate
Active Time.
• Active Time captures all activity, not just steps. Great
for yoga, spin, weightlifting, and more.
• Also measures heart rate, calories, steps,
and distance.
• HRV requires 10x the accuracy of BPM.
• One daily number for overall health and stress
across your cardiovascular and nervous systems.
• Resonance breathing meditation syncs your
heart rate with your breathing, building resilience to
stress in your nervous system.
• Measured via accurate streaming HRV data.
The Benefits
12. Competitive Landscape
Smartwatches — gaining in style, but lack feature innovation
Stylish wearables — limited functionality and high price
Wellness — wide open, while Fitness is very crowded
HRV Wearables — none with broad consumer appeal
Wearable Technology
l–r: Apple Watch,$350+;
Fossil Q, $295;
Motorola 360, $299
Brand collaborations with known
designers add little to functionality and
a lot to price. For example:
Intel x Opening Ceremony MICA
($500), Tory Burch x Fitbit ($300)
Misfit Ray is
decently priced at
$100, but still no
HR functionality.
Fitbit Alta has the
same features as
their $50 product and
no HR, but at $130.
Ringly is $200
for a vibrating
notification ring with
no tracking.
Apple Watch, Fossil Q, and Moto
360 are all working to improve design
aesthetics, although sizes are
still bulky and fashion community
response has been lukewarm.
Watches will continue to gain
market share. However there
is a significant market segment
that is still not interested in
wearing a screen on their wrist.
Due to the broad functionality,
it is difficult for watches to debut new
features outside of data display UI/
UX improvements.
Many still don’t include basic heart
rate tracking.
Key wellness entrants are still small, and
don’t have the same tech platform as us:
Spire (breathing pressure sensor) and
Bellabeat Leaf (women’s health focused
step-counter with breathing exercises).
Heavy competition
in the athletic market
space, focused on weight
loss and exercise.
Extremely limited
competition addressing
overall wellness
(mind + body health)
Caeden will be the industry leader
in commercializing HRV
technology in an accessible way.
There are a few niche
players with HRV solutions
(HeartMath, LumaFit).
Polar chest straps are able
to measure HRV, but are not
paired with any app or system
to analyze and interpret it
in a meaningful way outside
of professional use cases.

· For Use With The Caeden App ·
Next generation
heart rate sensor
measures heart rate
variability, a more
meaningful metric
to understand
overall health
and stress levels.
• HRV takes the exact timing of each heartbeat peak,
requiring 10x the measurement accuracy of standard
BPM calculations. This data allows us to measure
the overall balance of your nervous system.
• Higher HRV = more adaptability = healthier system
• HRV can be increased through physical activity, rest,
and paced Resonance breathing meditation.
• Sona is the first consumer wrist-worn wearable that is
able to provide HRV measurements.
Useful for understanding
1. Cardiovascular system
response to activity.
2. Caloric expenditure.
3. Heart Health
Useful for understanding
1. Chronic and temporary stress.
(Autonomic nervous system balance)
2. Resilience to stress.
(Strength of the vagus nerve)
3. Mental/physical response to stimuli
(Frequency domain analysis)
