    Episode 10 - The Future of Medical Isotopes

    Although we are used to stress the dangers and discomfort of radioactivity, the application in diagnostics and medicine can be really useful. In this episode of the Innovation Booster Podcast we are going to discuss the future of medical radio-isotopes in the North, from production to application. What are current applications of radioactivity, what are the next steps? And how do you ensure a safe environment for everyone involved in the production and application of medical isotopes? We will explore this important field of health technology with two very special guests. Firstly, we welcome Walter Noordzij, Nuclear Medicine Physician at the University Medical Centre. Secondly, we welcome Harrie Buurlage (who is the general medicine of the European SHINE Medical – Director Europe). Shine develops and produces medical isotopes for diagnostics and treatment of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

    Episode 9 - Technology in the Operation Room

    From Robotic systems that help surgeons perform complex operations to the newest organ preservation solutions. We see a rapid increase of technology and robotics in the Operation Room. In this ninth episode of the Innovation Booster Podcast we will explore the development and implementation of technology in the Operation Room. We will learn everything about how smart technology and robotics can make a huge difference for both health professionals and patients. What are the newest developments when it comes to tech in the Operation Room? Is this giant leap towards embracing complex, high-tech systems innovative, or are we being bombarded with technical solutions searching for clinical problems? And how do we ensure that these technologies really fit the needs of surgeons and patients? Which human factors do you have to take into account when developing state-of-the-art surgical tools? We will dive into this very interesting theme with three very special guests with a variety of background. First, we welcome Christoff Heunis from Flux Robotics. He will learn us everything about how we can integrate magnetic robots in the OR in order to Empower surgeons through magnetic robots. Secondly, we will welcome professor Henri Leuvenink from the UMCG. Henri Leuvenink will share the story about The development of the Groningen Preservation Machine to illustrate why Northern inventions fueled world wide changes in the OR. And thirdly, we will talk to Elisabeth Wilhelm, Assistant Professor in Control of Robotic Systems for Assistance and Rehabilitation at the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen.

    Episode 7 - Medical Device Regulation

    Do you have a bright idea and are stepping into the field of entrepreneurship and medical devices? Besides what a normal entrepreneur does, as finding customers, searching for money, making the first prototype, you will find additional challenges in the medical field. Like finalizing the MDR certification process. What does Medical Device Regulation mean in the MedTech segment? Which hurdles do you need to pass and how can we help you? For entrepreneurs in Med Tech, those steps are doable, and we would like to explain you, during this Innovation Booster Podcast: how you can make small steps, to make a giant leap. In this seventh episode of the Innovation Booster Podcast, we would like to make you aware of the MDR regulatory issues. And instead of viewing it as a pain in the ass hurdle, we aim to inspire you to turn this into a competitive advantage for your Business. We will dive into this very important topic with three experts in the field of Medical Device Regulation and the Medical Ethical Review Committee. First, we welcome Jelmer Sjollema, Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the UMCG and member of the METC). Secondly, we will welcome Ilona Brouwer. Ilona is a true expert in the development and implementation of medical devices and medical technology, and is are working as an Innovation Consultant at the UMCG Innovation Centre. Thirdly, we welcome Jan-Willem Veldsink, who is working as a Business Developer at the UMCG Innovation Centre.
