Recorded July 28, 2021

In recent years, an unprecedented number of new and traditional consumer products have begun to include innovative features, such as wireless connectivity, activity tracking, and fitness monitoring. When navigating the integration of new technologies and functionalities into consumer products, manufacturers have a dizzying array of decisions before them. With little experience of the short- and long-term implications of incorporating these new technologies, manufacturers are presented with both opportunities and risks. In this presentation, we will discuss how to approach these technologies in consumer products, with safety in mind.This recording is offered at no charge.
