The Power of Wearable Technology in Sports
We welcome Isaiah Kacyvenski, former 8-year NFL veteran and Head of the Consumer Business and Chairman of the Sports Advisory Board at MC10, to the i-lab to discuss the opportunities new and emerging technology provide to the Innovate in Sports. Isaiah will be giving his perspective about how electronics and their interactions with the human body can change the way athletes prepare to perform as well as how fans consume sports content. In other words - how can we use technology to take the guesswork out of preparation and performance and create even more engaging, truly unique content?
