For most MedTech devices, the path to development starts with defining a market need, then creating a technology to fill that need. But sometimes innovation lies in finding a new application for an existing technology. And sometimes the inspiration can come from a totally unexpected place.Such was the case for Venk Varadan, indie film producer-turned MedTech CEO of Nanowear, a wearable diagnostic device for cardiac patients. Nanowear adapted a unique sensor technology originally designed to

Before any med-tech entrepreneur can bring a product to market, he or she must prove the technology will work reliably. Transforming a nascent technology like digital microfluidics into an intuitive product is not easy. But it doesn’t take a seasoned engineer to understand that you’ll need to evaluate multiple iterations of the device in order to develop a system that will work as intended.In Episode 21 Andy Rogers and Key Tech Senior Computer Engineer, and Partner, Lei Zong talk about

Each year, millions of people in the U.S. require some sort of neurosurgery due to injury, disease, or genetic condition. They often undergo multiple procedures and face long, painful recoveries. This inspired Jesse Christopher to start tinkering with his kid’s toys in his garage, which was the beginning of Longeviti Neuro Solutions.Starting from this humble beginning, Longeviti pioneered the development of a low-profile intracranial device platform in 2016, in partnership with Johns

Coagusense developed the first point-of-care prothrombin time/Internationalized Normalized Ratio (PT/INR) monitoring system for cardiac patients to help them maintain warfarin dosage within a therapeutic range. In the latest version of their device, they actually removed connectivity features to accommodate the needs of their older, less-tech-savvy self-testers. Therefore, they had to go back to the FDA with more bench data for re-approval. Andy Rogers talked with Mike Acosta, EVP/Head of
