In this episode we're thrilled to have two key figures in the field of extreme medicine join our host Sarah Spelsberg: Dr Chris Imray and Dr Nat Taylor. Dr. Imray, a seasoned vascular and renal transplant surgeon, and world leading frostbite expert, and Dr. Taylor, not only a GP for the British army but also an active member in the Girl Guide movement, will deep dive into the world of biometric monitoring in extreme environments. How do devices perform in these environments compared to everyday use? What measures can be taken to improve their longevity and accuracy? We’ll be tackling these questions and others concerning the future of technology in extreme medicine. From real-time data feedback influencing personal behaviour, to the chilling effects of cold weather on electronic devices, we'll cover a broad spectrum of topics related to this fascinating field. Not only will we explore the technological side of things, but we will also discuss the experiences, trade-offs, and advice from Chris and Nat.
