Among many surprising applications, AI can be used for pain management and medical care. Neuroscientist Sara E. Berger of IBM joins Chris Grundemann and Stephen Foskett to discuss applications of machine learning in medical care. Pain management is a deeply personal field, but there are so many different data points that it can be difficult to see patterns that lead to positive outcomes. Machine learning can assist in sorting and selecting treatments, bringing in different sensors and data types to help patients. The more we see pain in a multi-disciplinary lens, and the more understanding we bring, the better the outcome for patients…

Chris was always on top of current technology and how this technology would fit into his current network environment. Chris was a pleasure to work with and will be an asset to any organization lucky enough to hire him.
In a wireless organization the network your products operate on needs to be reliable, dependable and operating at top efficiency. Chris made sure that was a reality. Chris was a leader in the day to day operation of our network, on initiating improvement designs for the future and helping out the other departments to close performance gaps. There was never a problem to hard to solve, a solution he was not willing to seek out or a cutting edge idea he hadn’t already researched.
Together we conquered many challenges, won impossible battles in the vendor industry and created a unique security practice. He has an interesting set of talents of being an engineer, innovator, and a thought leader, but never mixes any of these roles. That is what makes him successful as a leader. “Never be comfortable” is what Chris would tell me, which is what pushed me to do my first tech talk. I now have dozens behind me within some of the largest conferences known in the security vendor industry. Chris is nothing short of supernatural.
