  • The Future of Baby Monitoring with Sarah Ostadabbas

    This week on the show, host Richard Miles explores the possibilities of parenting technology with Sarah Ostadabbas, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Northeastern University. Sarah isn’t just talking theory – she’s built a revolutionary baby monitor called AI Wover. Tune in to hear how AI Wover goes beyond simple monitoring, the key distinctions between AI and augmented cognition, and why Sarah believes mentors are crucial for empowering female engineers. Tech enthusiasts and parents won’t want to miss this groundbreaking discussion on AI and child development.

    “The thing that is very important for me as the lead founder of AI Wover is bringing equity to the hand of everybody, every household with an infant on their day watch. This baby monitoring system, without extra cost, can be equipped with advanced AI and watch out if the babies are going through every milestone on time. And if not, then that concern that they have can be brought up to the pediatrician, and then hopefully the chain of action could happen on time.”                                                                                                                      – Sarah Ostadabbas

  • Scott Ijaz's Vet Tech Revolution
    "Listen as much as possible, take in all the information that you can. There's a lot of smart people out there who are willing to help. Same thing with people in your target industry. Listen to them. But with that said, don't listen to everything. You have to be able to stand your ground if you're going to get a new solution off the ground. It's a different balance for everybody, but you have to be in a position where you filter the noise while honing in on the signal that's going to get your company off the ground and to where you want to be as an entrepreneur." - Scott Ijaz

  • Unleashing Pet Relief with Jordan Sand
    "In the science realm, it's like anything else. A lot of times, nobody has a better answer than your best guess. You're going to reach out, do your best. If it doesn't work, back up, do it again. And that's a lot like trying to discover new products. You'll only ever hear about the two or three successes. You won't hear about the 500 failures." - Jordan Sand
