David L. Rose (born February 19, 1967) is an American business executive and a scientist and lecturer at the MIT Media Lab. His research focuses on computer-human interfaces, and he has invented and patented online photo sharing. He has also designed a number of wireless products, including the Ambient Orb and the GlowCap. He is currently the CEO of start-up Ditto Labs.
David Rose was born on February 19, 1967 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina when his father, James Rose, was in medical school.
Rose graduated from Madison West High School in Madison, Wisconsin in 1985. He obtained a BA in Physics and Fine Arts from St. Olaf College in 1989. He then went on to earn his Masters from Harvard University, focusing on technology in education, graduating in 1992.
Rose lives in Brookline, Massachusetts with his wife and two children.
Rose founded the company Interactive Factory in 1992 following several years working as a software engineer in speech recognition and robotics. Interactive Factory, now iFactory, a division of RDW Group, is a boutique design firm specializing in digital and interactive media.
After Interactive Factory’s acquisition in 1997, Rose patented the first online photo sharing service and founded Opholio. The start-up was bought by Flashpoint Technology in 1998 and Rose went on to found Viant’s Innovation Center, where he was director for four years.
In 2002, Rose co-founded Ambient Devices, a spin-off from the MIT Media Lab and a pioneer in embedding Internet information in everyday objects. The Ambient Orb was one of Rose’s creations and a revolutionary ubiquitous computing device, providing real-time data to a user via a simple, color-changing interface. Under his leadership, the company developed over a dozen internet-connected objects including the Ambient Umbrella, the Ambient Dashboard, 5-day Weather Forecaster, and the Energy Joule.
In 2008, Rose founded Vitality, a high-tech healthcare start-up. At Vitality, he conceived of and led the development of the GlowCap – the first cellular-connected pill cap. The product was a recipient of the 2010 Medical Design Excellence Awards and continues to be cited for its success in patient compliance. The GlowCap was parodied on The Colbert Report and featured in the Talk to Me exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Vitality was sold to billionaire biotech investor Patrick Soon-Shiong in 2011 and rolled into his NantHealth business.
