    Understanding The Unconventional Strategy That’s Driving Pulse Biosciences’ Recent Success

    In this episode of DeviceTalks Weekly, Host Tom Salemi speaks with MedTech veteran Darrin Uecker about a career shaped by some of the industry’s most notable innovations and acquisitions. Uecker’s journey begins at Computer Motion, where he served as CTO through its historic acquisition by Intuitive Surgical. He recounts how that deal came together and traces the path that led him to senior leadership roles at multiple startups that ultimately achieved successful exits. Today, Uecker is chief technology officer at Pulse Biosciences, a small publicly traded company developing a next generation of pulsed-field ablation technology. He discusses the unconventional steps Pulse has taken to build its business, reviews the company’s latest clinical data, and shares his perspective on the future of the fast-moving PFA market. In our FOMO Interview, Ralph Kern, MD, chief medical officer of neuro startup Cognito Therapeutics, explains why he’s excited about technical advances in the field. He’s interviewed by Jim Hammerand, managing editor at Medical Design & Outsourcing magazine.

    Curiosity is a Strategy — Biolinq’s Rebecca Gottlieb

    Innovation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when leaders intentionally design the systems that allow curiosity, experimentation, and good ideas to survive. In this episode of the Women in MedTech podcast, host Kayleen Brown sits down with Dr. Rebecca Gottlieb, VP of Advanced Sensor Technologies at Biolinq, to explore what it really takes to build innovation engines inside regulated MedTech environments. From early clinical work with artificial heart patients, to more than two decades of sensor innovation at Medtronic, to leading advanced biosensing platforms at Biolinq, Rebecca explains why curiosity isn’t just a mindset — it’s a leadership strategy. Kayleen also welcomes Chris Dawson, Head of Biosensing at TTP PLC, to unpack what curiosity looks like in practice: how multidisciplinary teams explore what’s possible, retire risk early, and build systems that support innovation without compromising reliability or regulatory rigor.
