About this Session:

Presenter: Will Flanagan, Head of Programs and Partnerships, VSP Global Innovation Center Session description: The human experience is intimately connected to the five senses-sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. These senses serve as our gateway to the world, allowing us to perceive our surroundings, engage with others, and savor life's moments. In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, a wave of startups and researchers are innovating to enhance, extend, and digitize our senses. This movement is poised to revolutionize well-being, performance, and beyond and is cascading through various sectors. In healthcare, sensory-driven diagnostics are revolutionizing preventive care, from AI-powered retinal scans for early Alzheimer's detection to remote monitoring tools that track vocal biomarkers to predict cognitive decline. As a leader in health-focused vision care, VSP Vision™ is at the forefront of emerging sensory technology's impact on overall health. The VSP Global Innovation Center aims to understand how advancements in other senses can complement vision and enhance overall well-being and quality of life. In this Tech Talk, the VSP Global Innovation Center will shed light on the groundbreaking startups and research driving sensory technology forward and the five key trends shaping the future of our senses and paving the way for a new era of human experience.
