On November 5th, I’ll be speaking about “The Decentralized Connected Medical Device System” at IEEE’s WAMII workshop in Cleveland. It’s part of an ambitious program - the IEEE-SA Global Wireless Platform Development Lab (PDL). Set to launch in 2020, PDL will connect six wireless test beds in Europe, North America and India. Together, they’ll provide a virtual testing, training and validation lab to establish global technical and data standards for medical IoTs and wearables.
