How One Start-Up is Strengthening Industrial Athletes
For this week's Keep Reinventing segment, brought to you by HP, we take a look at how one start-up is helping people better understand how the workforce can become more efficient. StrongArm Technologies Founder and CEO Sean Petterson explains how his company is leveraging data to improve efficiency.
Petterson says when launching this company, he was focused on human augmentation, and how it can use technology to improve how human beings work. But Petterson says StrongArm Technologies is now shifting gears to leverage data so they can make the workplace more efficient.
