CES 2023 did not disappoint

Here at Motusi, we have had a very busy and exciting Q1. We finally got the chance to catch up with Marc Alexander, our founder and CEO, and hear his thoughts about attending CES this year and the direction it has set for the team for the year.

Q: Marc, from everything you were able to take in at the conference this year, what would you summarize were the main trends of CES this year?

Hands down, CES may be one of the most inspiring conferences we attend all year. I would sum up the trends from the conference this year as saying the near future is all about data AI and smart systems. Smarter data gathering, smarter applications, smarter learning—all in service to allow the end user to be the master of their data and their data destiny.

Q: Can you paint a picture for us of what the Motusi presentation was like and share some of the highlights?

We were the sole presenter on Friday at the Bosch Senortec booth in the Health and Wellness exhibit hall, presenting live demos of the Motusi technology with our co-founder, Jon Eng wearing the Motusi kit. We projected the Motusi app showing a real-time 3D avatar of Jon’s movements with advanced analytics overlayed on the screen. We attracted a large crowd throughout the day with an audience comprised mainly of the healthcare industry, sports tech, and academia. Each group had vastly different questions for us, from the New York Yankees to leaders from UC Irvine Health, with everyone looking for the next innovation to help further their own research and business goals. The energy was inspiring.

Q: What was the most important feedback you got from CES this year?

Our takeaway from the conference was that we are designing and innovating something that is very unique. Yes, we are designing AI into our product, but by measuring loads and force through a wearable, and washable form factor, our product stands alone. Our visualization technology and easy-to-understand assessment provide a user experience not seen elsewhere. This leaves us feeling confident about the space we are designing in and the technology we have to offer, and we feel well positioned to support the end user as they take control of their data destiny.
