Finally sharing what kept me and my team busy for the past year+: Adaptive Sound.
It uses the microphones on the device to modify the sound coming out of the speaker and adapt it to your current conditions. Great sound, every time, in every place! https://t.co/vzTD73Xxlc

Today is one of my proudest in life, I'm joining the @NIH as a Principal Investigator🎉

@RespiraLabs was awarded $350K for the clinical validation of a patented technology for remote lung function monitoring with @UCSFHospitals and @NCIREveterans.

Dreams come true💪🏽

@mtnviewcityhall where can I report a delivery driver not wearing mask and sneezing on the halls of my building?

[Maria Artunduaga, MD, MPH, MTM @DrArtunduaga]

The last decade would make a great movie: matched into Plastics, terminated for doing the right thing, unemployed for 2 years, retrained, awarded >20 prizes, became a CEO, raised >$400k alone -- For all, I have a great man to thank, my husband, the most selfless person I know.

It is sometimes difficult to imagine how the world sounds to someone with hearing loss. At @Google we built a Hearing Loss Simulator to help people feel how technologies like #SoundAmplifier can positively impact the lives of many.

@speechwrecko It could be a great interview question for DSP candidates "who is Lena?", "do you recognize this picture?", "have you ever seen this picture with gaussian blur noise?"

[Ricardo Garcia 'RAGO @ragomusic]

We built the Hearing Loss simulator to let people experience first hand some of the effects of hearing loss, and how Sound Amplifier could benefit those in need. #android #soundamplifier #hearing #hearingloss #dsp
