Built for Humans: Brain Health, AI, and Designing for the Hardest Users

This Thursday, we’re looking at what it takes to build things that actually work, for people and for businesses. Start at Connection Collider at 4:30 PM to meet innovators from across the community, then find your way to Office Hours with Chuck Goldstone at 5 PM. Slots are 20 minutes and first-come, first-served, so sign up in person when you arrive!

At 5 PM, The Archaeology of Well-Being: Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Brain brings Lisa Roberts, founder and instructor at BeWell and Healthy Living, to explore how ideas from 2,400 years ago can help us sustain well-being today.

At 6 PM, you’ll have two sessions to choose from. Designing for the Hardest Users: What Health Tech Teaches Everyone features Piotr Zajac and Krzysztof Kaiser from Monterail, who share five design principles for products serving difficult, sensitive, or high-stakes audiences; while From Demo to Deployment: AI That Actually Shipsputs founders on stage to show working AI products and share what they’ve learned about pilots, pricing, and getting customers to pay.

Bring a question you’ve been meaning to ask, and come hungry for a good conversation!
