Firefighters risk their lives every day. The hazard of entering a smoke-filled building, with zero-visibility, is something most of us cannot even imagine. While technology has made strides in so many aspects of our lives, yet most existing solutions remain unaligned with the real-world needs of our firefighters and first responders.
Today, in our podcast, we talk about how innovative use of some technologies such as behavioral neuroscience, augmented reality, computer vision, and 5G can and are, in fact, changing this.
Our guest today is Dr. John Long - a researcher scholar from UC Berkeley, and CTO at Qwake Technologies. I met John at Verizon’s booth in Mobile World Congress Los Angeles, where he was demonstrating some very inspiring work he and his team have put together to help firefighters save more lives and stay safe. Not only is the work they are doing quite interesting, but also John’s background and journey are quite extraordinary, and I wanted to share it with all of you. Together with John, we will dig into many details that will help us align exciting facts on our learning behavior, human performance under stress, the role of computer vision and 5G technology, the adoption challenges of new technologies at fire departments, and many more.
