Description
Learn how Fusion 360 software was used to create a wearable technology capable of reducing physiotherapy from a 6-week process to a 10-minute application. In this talk, you'll hear from Fusion 360 evangelist's Paul Sohi, Michael Aubry, and Taylor Stein on how they collaborated together to create an IoT connected wearable with Fusion 360. On the Mission to Mars, it's estimated that astronauts will lose up to 30% of their bone and muscle density to atrophy caused by the 0-gravity environment. The fear is that the astronauts may not have the physical strength to put up even a tent when they land on Mars. Astronaut Yvonne Cagle has developed a method of body hacking which rebuilds bone and muscle tissue. This method compresses 6 weeks of physiotherapy into 10 minutes. Working with Autodesk, Cagle was able to take her technology from an application only she was capable of using effectively on patients, to a fully automated process using a wearable technology application.

Speakers
Pooria SohiPaul is a Product Designer and Fusion360 expert for Autodesk. Having studied architecture and infrastructure planning, he then moved into working for himself, setting up a company that championed 3D printing technologies, working on art installations, music videos, product design, and technical innovations in the 3D printing industry. Now Paul works with other product designers under the Autodesk banner to help startups develop and realize their ideas. Paul specializes in prosthetic design and Open Source hardware design, having created the world’s first 3D printed performance prosthetic to be used at the Rio Paralympics. In his spare time he is pursuing a PhD in additive manufacturing.
Mike AubryMichael Aubry is always pursuing better, faster and exciting ways to design.
