Not many companies are combining hardware and chemistry to impact consumer health outside of the medical community, but chemistry can add a new layer of health data when five senses aren’t enough. What happens when you take hardware that is typically for commercial use, and complicated chemistry processes, and translate it for consumers? 6SensorLabs’ lead scientist and product engineer will discuss the biggest challenges in making low-cost, user-friendly health sensors, including:

-Adapting and cross-collaborating between teams of varying disciplines

-Maintaining sensitivity and accuracy while simplifying process

-Designing hardware and chemistry components in one device
