NW3C was asked to send staff James Emerson to present at the National Center on Forensics Conference on the topic of "The Emerging Nexus Between Digital Evidence and Medical Death Investigations." The presentation is described as, "At the conclusion of this presentation the attendee will understand Medical Death Investigative cases and the evolving dependence on digital evidence, the increasing explosion of physiological sensors, body worn technologies, smart clothing and jewelry, and the digital evidence networking ecosystems within which they exchange content and metadata, the relevance to the Medical Death Investigation, key steps, critical determinations and risk to both access and spoliation. Finally, the need for more focused research, major research institutions already accruing such data and ultimately the need for aggregation and standardization from the perspective of the Medical Death Investigation."
