In Episode 11 of the Military Medicine Podcast, we interview Dr James Robson, arguably the most influential Rugby Doctor of all time. A licensed Physiotherapist and GP, Dr Robson has toured as the British & Irish Lions Doctor since 1995, and more recently has become the Chief Medical Officer for the Scotland Rugby team.

In this episode, Dr Robson shares his experiences, including treating a broken neck on the field and missing concussion on live television, and his vision for how the future of rugby medicine will play out – with a role for VR and the growing role of the medical team in optimising human performance.

There aren’t many areas of medical innovation we don’t touch on with the fascinating Dr Daniel Kraft in this episode! Daniel takes us through his thoughts on panomics, 3D printing, wearables, “invisibles”, and his vision for “connected health”, as well as telling us how he looks after his telomeres!

Daniel is a Stanford Medicine Graduate, who then went to the International Space University, and went on to become a flight surgeon on an F15 squadron. He has since become one of the most celebrated medical innovators of our generation, featuring in a multi-million viewed TED talk, and founding the “Exponential Medicine” conference as a part of Singularity University.

In the 9th episode of the Military Medicine Podcast, Matt interviews Dr Wendy Dean about Regenerative Medicine. Dr Dean is the Senior VP of Program Operations at the Henry Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine. Dr Dean discusses the incredible potential Regenerative medicine, what it means for our soldiers today and in the future, but why we need to be cautious of over-hyping it just yet.
