Sidney Collin | NexStride - Creating the tools to keep people walking safely and confidently De Oro Devices makes mobility assistive devices to allow people with mobility disorders to walk confidently and safely. We use research-backed sensory cues to help people with mobility disorders walk with improved step symmetry, step length, and overall safety and mobility. In our beachhead market, Parkinson's, we help overcome freezing of gait, one of the most common and most debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Our initial device, NexStride, combines a green laser line visual cue and a metronome auditory cue into a small portable device that can attach to any cane, walker, or walking pole. These cues have been shown to reduce falls by 40% for people with Parkinson's. This patent-pending technology can be used in Parkinson's, Stroke Rehab, Multiple Sclerosis, and Cerebral Palsy, resulting in a $13B global market opportunity for our first product alone. NexStride is already available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. About Sidney: Sidney Collin is the inventor of NexStride, and is the co-founder and CEO of De Oro Devices.

#cybersecurity #security Our reliance on digital infrastructure and the Internet makes everyone vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. Given the importance of cybersecurity, everyone from CEOs to board members and employees must understand the nature of this threat. Although cybersecurity involves technology, managing the problem relies on people and the willingness of individuals to change their behavior.To learn how to manage a cybersecurity program, we spoke with Gregory Touhill, director of the world-renowned CERT Division of the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI). Proactive cybersecurity strategy should be an important element of any digital transformation effort.The conversation includes these topics:-- On the state of cybersecurity in 2022-- On security weakness arising from the intersection of administrative and operational systems-- On the challenges of enterprise security-- On the importance of prioritizing enterprise cybersecurity-- On managing ransomware attacks-- On creating a culture of cybersecurity-- On the future of managing cybersecuritySubscribe to the CXOTalk newsletter: https://www.cxotalk.com/subscribeRead the full transcript: https://www.cxotalk.com/episode/state-cybersecurity-2022At the SEI Cert Division, Greg Touhill leads a diverse group of researchers, software engineers, security analysts, and digital intelligence specialists working together to research security vulnerabilities in software products, contribute to long-term changes in networked systems, and develop cutting-edge information and training to improve the practice of cybersecurity.Touhill was appointed by former President Barack Obama to be the first chief information security officer (CISO) of the United States government. Previously, he served in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as deputy assistant secretary in the Office of Cybersecurity and Communications. Before joining the Software Engineering Institute, he was president of Appgate Federal, a provider of cybersecurity products and services to civilian government and defense agencies.Touhill is a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force where he was an operational commander at the squadron, group, and wing levels. He served as a senior leader of military cybersecurity and information technology programs, culminating as the chief in-formation officer of the United States Transportation Command, one of the nation's 10 combatant commands. A combat veteran, he is the recipient of numerous awards and decorations including the Bronze Star medal and the Air Force Science and Engineering Award. He retired from the Air Force with the rank of brigadier general.He is an adjunct faculty member of the CMU Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy and the Deakin University (Australia) Centre for Cybersecurity Research and Innovation. A member of many organizational boards and committees and recipient of many awards, Touhill was recog-nized by Security Magazine as one of its Most Influential People in Security and by Federal Computer Week in the Federal 100.

Parkinson's disease affects over one million people in the United States and ten million globally. Every year, 60 000 people are diagnosed for the first time. Parkinson's disease has a progressive nature, which means that it worsens over time. One of the most debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease is freezing gait. Freezing gait occurs when the brain stops sending the proper signals to the limbs, causing their gait to freeze. When this occurs, they frequently fall, resulting in trauma and injuries.   A radical treatment for freezing gait was born when a single person approached Cal Poly students and asked them to design a specific device. To tell this story, we're joined by the company's founder, Sidney Collin of De Oro Devices, creators of NexStride.   The mission of De Oro Devices is to improve mobility, independence, and quality of life. NexStride is a small, portable device that uses research-backed visual and auditory cues to assist people with Parkinson's disease in overcoming freezing of gait.   About Guest: Sidney Collin has a background in computational neuroscience research, with a paper published in the Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology.   Sidney received the Cal Poly Outstanding Woman in Engineering Award, the Outstanding Student Award, and the Lisa Hufford Scholarship Award in 2019.

Tony McNeal has served the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for 34 years and will be retiring in 2020 as the Administrator of the Coastal Construction Control Line Program that regulates construction along Florida's 825 miles of coastline. It is a huge job, high stakes, and occasionally -- maybe more than occasionally -- contentious. Tony was the CCL Program lead for 20 years during his tenure at FDEP, a remarkable accomplishment. Mike Barnett, former Chief of the FDEP Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, nominated Tony for this prestigious award, and joins Tony on the American Shoreline Podcast. It's a long back from two of Florida's best known and respected state agency professionals. We talk about Tony's career in public service, the tough decisions coastal regulators face, and what it takes to handle this challenging job so successfully and for so long. Congratulations Tony from Coastal News Today and the American Shoreline Podcast Network and thank you for all the years of leadership, hard work, and judgement to protect the beaches and dunes of Florida.

Trends at this year's CES Show: 4K TVs - Actually we saw a lot of this last year as well. Perhaps Braden's prediction of a 4K TV year may actually come true! OLED TVs - Again, we saw OLED last year too. But this year we saw larger sizes. LG is a big player here. Sound Bars - Now you may be seeing why we decided not to go to CES. Sound Bars are big because the speakers on most modern thin TVs are terrible. But its genius!! This now gives manufacturers an opportunity to sell another piece of gear. Wireless Speakers - Offerings from manufacturers like Sonos and some other companies that you have never heard of before as well made an impact this year. Smart Home/ Home Automation - Nothing new here! Wasn't last year the year of home automation?? Even more manufacturers to get into the automation game this year. Higher Resolution Audio -  This is a new trend and we like seeing it. The only issue is that high quality audio typically comes a high cost. Samsung Samsung showed a 110” UHD TV -  We talked about the 85” model that forced a family to sell one of their daughters into slavery so they could pay the $40K pricetag. It looks like the 110 inch model won't be produced. At least at this time. Its more of a concept TV brought to CES to show what they can do. Will TVs like this ever get down in price to the point where projectors are no longer necessary? They also demonstrated an 85” that is “Bendable”. Turn it on and the edges curve towards you. Turn it off and its flat!

If you can't find any 4K content for these spiffy new TVs have no fear. LG has developed something called Tru-ULTRA HD Engine Pro.  Its supposed to improve overall Ultra HD picture quality. That along with a new proprietary upscaling chip will make SD and HD content look better on Ultra HD televisions. Well at least according to LG. On the Audio side of things, LG says it worked with Harman Kardon to develop premium audio systems for each TV.
