An example for such danger is an obstacle on the road (such as another vehicle, pedestrian, traffic sign, etc.). The aim of my project was to quickly detect such obstacles. One approach is semantic segmentation, which requires many computations and is too slow to perform in real time. Thus, a solution was found in implementing and improving upon StixelNet’s architecture. In this short talk I will overview the challenge in question, the solution I developed, and some personal insights I gained while working on a first deep learning project. Speaker: Anat Kotler, Director of Product Management, Venus Concept. Anat Kotler is a Product Management leader with 10 years of experience working in the medical devices industry.

Abstract: How is it like to bring a product to market in an environment where A/B testing does not exist, but FDA regulation does? How do you collect customer feedback when your customer base is primarily comprised of doctors who are very different from the average app user with time & availability being their major constraint? Can we make medical devices a little less stressful and a bit more delightful for doctors and patients who are using them?
