This Week In XR December 22nd, 2023 ft. Sarah Hill, CEO Healium

This week's guest, Sarah Hill, CEO of Healium (note spelling) was guest #1 on our podcast, in July 2020. We were experimenting with both the format of the show and recording the podcast in VR. It was a relatively slow news week, except Bytedance was booted off Azure Cloud's OpenAI for using it to train its own model, which is strictly verboten. Amidst denials, they were also caught covering it up. Rony has a lot to say about China and the theft of intellectual property, which, ironically is what OpenAI itself did when it scraped the Internet to begin with. Microsoft is shutting down its Mixed Reality OS, setting off a flurry of XR hand wringing. Healium is a platform agnostic app which uses biometrics to help users control hypertension, depression, and other conditions. Their app is available on all platforms and used by the VA to treat veterans. Healium, founded ten years ago, counts the Mayo Clinic as one of its strategic investors. Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!
