Dr Harro Stokman is CEO & Founder of Kepler Vision Technologies, an Amsterdam-based health-tech start-up which uses artificial intelligence to look after the well-being of humans at night through vision-based body language recognition software.  Kepler Vision's mission is to make the job of nurses operating in elderly care homes less stressful and more enjoyable by freeing them to focus on providing care through real-time body language recognition. A spin-off company from the University of Amsterdam, Kepler Vision comprises a team of experts across machine learning, computer vision and healthcare - as well as multiple PhDs. Harro is a fascinating guy, and I think an interview with him would be of particular interest to your audience as we enter the second wave of the global health crisis and with many hundreds of thousands of at-risk elderly people still stuck in overstretched care homes facing a Christmas without seeing their families and in danger of contracting the virus.
