Hacking the Human Element

Hacking the Human Element

Hard Yards had the opportunity to support MD5’s Hacking the Human Element event held in collaboration with USSOCOM at SOFWERX in Tampa, Florida.  In preparation for the event, the Hard Yards team conducted interviews with warfighters from several different special operations elements, civilian first responders with experience in flood, hurricane, and disease disaster relief, and technology experts and innovators using wearable technology to help operators in all sorts of interesting ways.

We then synthesized the insights gained from those interviews into a challenge brief presentation that was leveraged to kickoff the event.  You can see our presentation here
