    Ep 305 - Preceptis CEO Dave Carey on Hummingbird and Helping Kids Avoid the Trauma of Anesthesia

    In this episode of DeviceTalks Weekly, Host Tom Salemi talks with Preceptis Medical CEO Dave Carey about his path from MedTech sales to the corner office. Carey shares lessons from launching disruptive technologies at Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Stryker and Pristine Surgical, including what he looks for when hiring salespeople and what it takes to change established clinical workflows. Carey also explains why his new role at Preceptis is personal. After his daughter experienced emergence delirium following anesthesia for an ear tube procedure, Carey was drawn to Hummingbird, Preceptis’ technology for moving ear tube procedures out of the OR and into the physician’s office without general anesthesia. He explains how Preceptis is working with ENTs, pediatricians and parents to drive adoption and why changing even a five-minute procedure requires more than selling a medical device.

    In this episode, MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker interviews Shan Jegatheeswaran, Global President, Polyphonic, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, about what’s to come after the transformation brought to the operating room by digital surgery and robotics. Jegatheeswaran reports that a new wave of surgical intelligence could take that transformation much further by connecting devices, data, AI and clinicians across the entire perioperative pathway. Jegatheeswaran explains why the biggest challenges may no longer be technological. Interoperability, economic incentives, governance, change management and trust all have to evolve alongside AI and connected medical devices.

    Ep 303 - Xeltis CEO Schutte on Building a Business Around Tech that Helps the Body Build New Blood Vessels

    In this episode, Host Tom Salemi sits down with Eliane Schutte, CEO of Xeltis, to discuss a remarkable biomaterial designed to help the body grow its own living blood vessels. Schutte explains how the technology is being used for dialysis patients today and how it could eventually transform coronary bypass surgery, peripheral vascular care and even heart valve replacement. In the FOMO studio, Tom speaks with Katie Grant, VP of MR at Siemens Healthineers North America, about the global helium supply and why the MRI industry is working to reduce its reliance on the increasingly precious gas. They explore how new magnet designs could make MRI systems lighter, more accessible and easier to install in new locations. As always, we’ll open the podcast with the top stories from MassDevice in Newmarker’s Newsmakers, delivered by MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker. This week, Chris covers Medtronic’s major investment in surgical robotics, Enovis’ acquisition of eCential Robotics, Stryker’s move to strengthen its shoulder portfolio, the rebranding of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, and job shifts at Zoll Medical. *** Enjoy the show?

    Ep 302 - Inner Logic CEO Porras explains how autonomous surgery can save us from looming surgeon shortage

    In this podcast episode, Tito Porras, MD, MBA, CEO and co-founder of startup Inner Logic, shares his unusual path to MedTech entrepreneurship with Host Tom Salemi. Dr. Porras was training to become a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins when he began questioning the limits of surgeon training. He realized that even better training wouldn't solve the larger problem: there aren't enough surgeons to provide the care patients need. That realization eventually led Porras to entrepreneurship and Inner Logic, which is developing intelligence and simulation infrastructure that can help develop devices with greater autonomy. Porras explains the difference between automation and autonomy, how AI can help devices perceive and adapt to what's happening during a procedure, and why this technology could eventually expand access to surgical care. Dr. Porras also discusses Inner Logic's work with virtual patients and synthetic data, the potential for autonomy across endovascular, orthopedic and surgical applications, and why the future of autonomous surgery will likely arrive through a series of incremental steps rather than one dramatic leap. MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker kicks off the podcast with Newmarker's Newsmakers, covering the FDA, Haemonetics, Senseonics, Johnson & Johnson MedTech and Medtronic. *** Enjoy the show?

    Ep 300 - How Mobia Medical’s Stroke Recovery Mission Muscled It Past MedTech’s Public Market Malaise

    In this episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly podcast, Mobia Medical CEO Richard Foust explains how the “magical” qualities of the company's neurotechnology helped steer it toward an IPO. Mobia Medical’s implantable pulse generator promotes motor skill recovery in patients who have suffered a stroke. The company’s early commercial success has generated modest revenue, but Foust tells host Tom Salemi that “not all revenue is the same,” explaining why a large, untapped and growing market won over venture capital investors a few years ago and public investors this spring. MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker returns with another edition of Newmarker’s Newsmakers. Tom and Chris repeatedly lament the departure of former Senior Editor Sean Whooley, who recently left MassDevice to pursue other opportunities. Despite his departure, Sean’s reporting remains front and center, as he wrote all five featured stories covering Danaher, Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Integer, Teleflex, and private equity investors.
