With wristworn wearables, the stakes are higher than almost anywhere else. Not only are you competing with tech giants like Apple and Fitbit, you are competing with luxury watches and accessories for valuable real estate. Skip Orvis, COO and Head of Systems Development for Caeden, will explain the unique challenges involved in the development and testing of the Sona Connected Bracelet, a jewelry-inspired connected bracelet that bridges design, innovation and technology to offer a unique feature set focusing on wellness for mind and body.
Skip Orvis is the Chief Operating Officer and Head of Systems Development at Caeden, where he has overseen the development of Caeden’s acclaimed Linea Nº10 Wireless On Ear Headphones and the Sona Connected Bracelet, the first wrist worn wearable to feature heart rate variability, provide a quantified meditation program, and track activity.
