A really interesting chat to Silvia Pfeiffer from Coviu, which is a Tele-Health technology company doing amazing things. See below for some very cool animations showing how they use video to capture range of motion.

Highlights:

  1. Her dad bought a Commodore 64 for his work and she started playing with it and writing programs.
  2. She was one of four girls attending an boys boarding school. Talk about minority.
  3. I (Mick) have to stop asking about the innate strengths of women and men. Everyone has there own and talking in any stererotype is bad. #stilllearning

As someone who had knee surgery and lots of physio, this is very interesting.

Big thanks to Phil Morle for the introduction to Silvia.
