In modern society, one of the few constants is stress. Whether it's a big presentation at work, a growing family, financial concerns, or even a business trip to Las Vegas for CES, stressors are everywhere. Our bodies respond to this stress in a few ways, including by releasing certain hormones into the body. Being able to measure and track these hormones can help you track and properly respond to the stressors we live through every day. Nutrix AG has a sensor to do just that.What is Nutrix AG?Maria Hahn, CEO & Founder of Nutrix AG, introduces a revolutionary technology in the field of healthcare - cortisol monitoring using artificial intelligence (AI).

To end CES 2023, the Tech Podcasts Network hosts sat down to discuss their experiences. From exciting products that we want to buy for ourselves to trends across the industry, we covered a lot of ground in a very small amount of time.Technology costs are decreasingTechnology costs are decreasing at a rapid rate, and this is especially true when it comes to technology used in the broadcasting industry. Just a few years ago, broadcasters needed to purchase expensive equipment and insure it for up to $75,000. Now, however, much of the equipment needed to broadcast can fit into a single Pelican case, and the cost of the entire studio is much less than a single component used to be.The team discussed how the organization used to need to ship 24 boxes of equipment to the show floor to broadcast, but now they only need to bring two roller bags, one suitcase, and a Pelican case. This is a drastic decrease in the amount of equipment needed to broadcast, and the cost of the equipment is much lower as well. The LED ligh
