SensoSmart embraces a future of Robots. Assistant Robots. More Autonomous Robots. Hearing aids are a special type of robot. They help people to achieve things they cannot achieve without assistance.
People are living longer and we predict there will be greater need for assistant robots and devices. We predict there will be many more things people will want to do with their devices and it will become much more important to have ways to teach people and robots how to collaborate. That's why SensoSmart focuses on human robot interaction, methods of learning how to use robots and how to teach them new skills, and sharing resources on the network.

SensoSmart: Transforming the way we think about accommodation
Why is SensoSmart so COOL?
Can you imagine having surgery to implant an expensive device in your body or in your brain to control a prosthesis and then a few months later a new and improved version comes out on the market? The ultimate in Robot Envy. SensoSmart is about helping the Robot to become Smarter, so there is less dependence upon humans to control every aspect of the Robot. Smartness can come from unexpected places. Any user or developer can come up with a way COOL solution, even borrowing a solution from another domain, and someone else on the planet might benefit from that solution. SensoSmart is all about sharing those solutions so that Robots do not loose their value as assistant devices... so that they are capable of being smaller lither, affordable, and less invasive. SensoSmart is all about preparing for a future where Robot Assistants are capable of updating themselves with helpful new features and functionality the way we update apps on our smartphone.

Zen and the Art of Assistant Robot Maintenance
SensoSmart embraces a future of Robots. Assistant Robots. More Autonomous Robots.
People are living longer and we predict there will be greater need for assistant robots and devices. We predict there will be many more things people will want to do with their devices and it will become much more important to have ways to teach people and robots how to collaborate. That's why SensoSmart focuses on human robot interaction and sharing resources on the network.
SensoSmart applies the same principles to share learning of one robot with any other robot on the network.

Opportunity for Personalized Hearing Assistants -- Big Bang Day 2014
An auspicious occasion. Colleagues gathered at the top of Crawford Hill to visit together and listen to Dr Robert Wilson talk about his 1964 experiments on the Big Bang that led to a Nobel Prize he shared with Dr Arno Penzias. Dr Wilson reminded everyone, 'Nobody got a medal for saving money. You have to do the experiment right.' Our innovations with personalized hearing assistants would have made it easier for Dr Wilson to speak to everyone who was gathered outside on that hill and for him to be heard by everyone. It would have rendered the bull horn extinct. A goal: to retire the bull horn. More information will be revealed about SensoSmart HearHere! soon. Keep posted to learn more.

Display of audiograms of three of our friends provides great insight into hearing loss.
We may think that hearing aids solve all problems. But that's not precisely true. When you call the SensoSmart platform, you can now hear displays of how three of our friends hear based on measures from their audiograms, a profile of hearing at a number of pre-selected frequencies. By calling 973-339-7209, you can hear the unaltered spoken phrases and some examples of characteristic frequency hearing losses when selecting directly from the menu. In addition, when you return to the main menu by selecting option '0', you can then select option '4' to hear how one of our friends hears in the 'good' ear. Then select option '0', return to the main menu, and select '5' then repeat and select '6' to hear the two ears of another friend. Then return to the main menu and select '7' to hear the very amplified recording filtered by another friend's audiogram. Listening to the display of how our friends hear the speech around us provides great insight into the issues facing people who have hearing loss. It inspires us to improve access to technology.

SensoSmart: Transforming how we think about accommodation
SensoSmart aims to provide improvements in assistive technologies for a variety of issues including vision, hearing, and mobility. Gathering sensor data on the cloud, learning, analytics, and distribution will transform how we think about accommodation. The smart phone might be the only computing available, for example, in a developing community; with a smart phone and its sophisticated sensors, and the growing features of the cloud, SensoSmart can bring accessibility to anyone, anywhere.

The Sky is the Limit
Break with tradition! Shake things up! Let's design the world of assistive technologies the way we know it can be. The Sky is the Limit with virtual sensors collecting important data and sharing learning across devices. With SensoSmart, any device can learn and share the learning with other connected devices providing a glimpse into the future. Simplified control and much smarter devices.

Example of the day on our demo platform -- Select Option 4 to hear
Try our example platform, listen to the phonemically balanced phrases, then listen to option 4 which is not yet on the menu. This option illustrates how a person hears who has the following hearing loss: 10db down @ 1khz & 40db down @ 4khz.

What performance can we expect from VoIP?
http://www.voipmechanic.com/mos-mean-opinion-score.htm
'Codecs- how they affect MOS- Mean Opinion Score
A non-compressed codec, G711, will give the best voice quality, as no compression and decompression is required. This in turn makes this G711 less susceptible to packet loss, which even in small amounts will quickly degrade voice quality. Other codecs which use compression techniques consume less bandwidth, a good thing, but this compression process in itself lowers the voice clarity and introduces a delay. Additionally, compressed codecs are even more susceptible to packet loss. In addition G711 will maintain better quality with more latent connections, whereas compressed codecs' voice quality can quickly degrade as latency increase, as the chart below reflects.
Comparison of voice quality for G711 & G729 codecs as latency increases.'

Try our SensoSmart VoIP platform to hear an example of
phonemically balanced phrases read by our model speakers. Then you can listen
to the phrases again with representative high frequency loss, or low frequency
hearing loss. The platform provides an opportunity to hear the way people hear
when they have hearing loss. It is our intention to supplement hearing loss
with affordable and convenient hearing aid algorithm support and also with
technology solutions that improve understanding and language learning. We
target solutions for a variety of situations including education, workplace,
social, communications, business, entertainment, etc.

Mobile Medical Applications
Apple
Execs Met With FDA on Mobile Medical Apps - recode.net (e)
A team of Apple executives met with officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last month to discuss "mobile medical applications," according to the agency's public calendar. The news adds more fuel to ongoing speculation that Apple is integrating medical sensors and health features into forthcoming devices or software upgrades, potentially including next-generation mobile phones or a much-rumored smart watch. The New York Times reported the news of the FDA meeting earlier today. Apple has been hiring medical experts in recent months, according to several earlier reports.
