    Episode 268 | Ethan Drower, Co-Founder & CEO of CiteMed | Breaking Down Barriers with Clinical Evidence

    In this episode, Ethan Drower, co-founder and CEO of CiteMed, shares the story behind Evidence Cloud, an AI-enabled platform transforming how medtech teams approach clinical evidence. Built to simplify complex literature reviews, strengthen regulatory submissions, and create a clear, traceable foundation for clinical claims, Evidence Cloud helps companies navigate one of the most critical steps in bringing innovation to patients. What began as a kitchen-table conversation evolved into a mission to reshape evidence generation and regulatory strategy. In this conversation, Ethan discusses how smarter evidence workflows can improve transparency, accelerate decision-making, and turn clinical evidence from a compliance requirement into a powerful strategic advantage.

    Episode 267 | Michelle Ottey, President of CIC Campuses & Labs | Strategic Growth & Community Building in Innovation Spaces

    In this episode, Michelle Ottey, President of CIC Campuses and Labs, unpacks what it really takes to build thriving innovation ecosystems and why flexible lab space is only the beginning. Michelle shares her personal journey from genetics and cell biology research into enabling entrepreneurship, and explains how CIC’s “invisible infrastructure” helps life science and medtech founders move faster by reducing operational, regulatory, and capital burdens through plug-and-play wet labs, shared equipment, safety and compliance support, and a deeply staffed community model. The conversation highlights how CIC strategically launches campuses through years of local ecosystem buy-in, why programming and connection points matter as much as square footage, and how CIC’s global footprint helps companies navigate international expansion and business culture.

    Episode 266 | Laura Corcoran, CEO & Founder of Dignity Care | Innovating Compassionate Solutions for Pregnancy Loss

    In this powerful episode, Laura Corcoran, CEO and Founder of Dignity Care, shares the deeply personal experience that drove her to invent the Miscarriage Collection Cradle, a patented Class I medical device designed to bring practical support and dignity to women managing miscarriage or pregnancy loss. Laura walks through the realities of home miscarriage management, the need for reliable collection for cytogenetic testing, and how gaps in standard care can compound trauma. The conversation explores how she translated an unmet need into a scalable product—rapid NHS adoption, health-economic evidence showing major system savings, and the stakeholder strategy required to drive change from hospitals to Parliament. Laura also discusses FDA clearance and plans for U.S. launch, and closes with advice for innovators: obsess over understanding the problem, and the right solution will follow.

    Episode 265 | Dr. Malcolm Townes, Innovation Fund Manager at Washington University | Strategic Medtech Commercialization: Lessons from the Gap Fund

    In this episode, Dr. Malcolm Townes breaks down how WashU is building a more execution-focused commercialization engine through its Gap Fund, designed to advance non-drug, non-therapeutic technologies by funding the technology (not startups) to avoid conflicts and drive sharper development decisions. He shares why hands-on, milestone-based funding and rigorous customer discovery are essential to uncovering “unknown unknowns,” preventing expert blindness, and aligning products with real clinical workflows. The conversation also explores how WashU leverages EIRs and Venture Fellows to add commercialization horsepower, why “coachability” is the strongest predictor of success, and what innovators most often miss: FDA clearance isn’t enough—market access and reimbursement require different proof, data, and strategy.

    Episode 264 | Will Kaigler & Megan Shaw | From Innovation to Impact: Crafting Medtech Culture and Success in Pittsburgh

    In this episode, Megan Shaw, CEO of the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Alliance, and Will Kaigler, co-founder and CEO of SovaSage, join the Project Medtech podcast to unpack what it really takes to build, scale, and ultimately create optionality in health tech startups. Megan shares her journey from being the first employee at HemoSonics to launching PLSA in 2024 to accelerate Pittsburgh’s life sciences ecosystem. Will reflects on his experience with multiple startups, and explains how sovaSage is reimagining sleep apnea management to improve outcomes and lower costs. Together, they discuss why customer value—not fixation on an exit—drives success, how to hire the right early team without over-hiring, and why systems and rigorous user discovery can make or break a company. They close with a deep dive into Pittsburgh’s unique strengths and upcoming opportunities to plug into the region’s innovation community.

    Episode 263 | Mark Domyahn, Partner at JD Lymon Group | Strategic Reimbursement Planning for Medtech Innovators

    In this episode, Mark Domayhn, Partner at JD Lymon Group, joins Duane Mancini to unpack what medtech innovators often miss most: reimbursement isn’t a box to check after FDA—it’s the commercial foundation that determines whether hospitals and physicians can adopt your technology. Drawing on experience across Medtronic, Zimmer, and St. Jude/Abbott, Mark breaks down the “three-legged stool” of coverage, coding, and payment, why clinical evidence must satisfy payer standards (not just FDA), and how to “follow the money” across fragmented U.S. systems. The conversation then dives into the New Technology Add-On Payment (NTAP) program, why it matters for inpatient launches, how breakthrough designation has increased NTAP success, and the major implications of CMS proposing to repeal the alternative pathway—plus what companies can do before the June 9 comment deadline.

    Episode 262 | Huzaifah Salat, MD, Physician Executive | Pioneering Lung Cancer Diagnosis & Driving Clinical Insight in Healthcare Innovation

    In this episode, pulmonologist, intensivist, and advanced bronchoscopist Huzaifah Salat joins Duane Manicini to unpack what’s changing in lung cancer care, and why the biggest constraint in MedTech isn’t the FDA, funding, or clinician adoption, but founders building for clinicians instead of with them. Huzaifah shares how robotic bronchoscopy, advanced imaging, and better CT quality are enabling diagnosis of tiny, moving lung nodules, and why the next wave may be non-invasive diagnostics like blood-based, saliva, or bronchial secretion testing. He offers an inside look at serving as a regional medical director and physician voice to the C-suite, where “no margin, no mission” meets patient-first priorities, and explains how diverse frontline perspectives, beyond physicians alone, shape products that truly fit real clinical workflows.

    Episode 261 | Sean Thompson, Senior Sales Engineer at Packaging Compliance Labs | The First Five Things You Need to Know About Medical Device Packaging

    In this kickoff episode of Project Medtech’s “Five Things You Need To Know” miniseries, Duane Mancini is joined by Sean Thompson to break down the essentials of sterile medical device packaging compliance. Sean shares a practical, startup-friendly roadmap anchored in ISO 11607, starting with defining device inputs that drive packaging design decisions (sensitivities, geometry, sterilization method, scalability). He then walks through the four pillars—Make, Ship, Store, and Usability—covering sealing process validation, distribution simulation testing and feasibility testing, shelf-life strategy via accelerated and real-time aging, and the newer focus on usability and aseptic presentation. The episode highlights how missed packaging steps can create costly timeline and commercialization setbacks.
