While studies have yet to prove a direct causal link, the correlation between smartphone use and declining mental health is well-established, a trend especially concerning among young people.But what if the same technology contributing to the problem could also be the solution? It turns out the therapeutic potential of our smartphones for mental health is no longer up for debate, and one company at the forefront of this revolution is HelloBetter. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating

Is there a future where we will manufacture entire organs?If that's the case, it’s not tomorrow. Yet, the era of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering is very much real and happening now! In some fields, like in dentistry, we are already 3D printing implants that are placed in patients' mouths. In others, like in orthopedic or plastic surgery, cells are harvested from patients to be modified and placed back into their bodies. But what we can't do yet is create complex, functional tissue

Is there a simple way to know your hydration level?Not really. It's a surprising reality, considering our bodies are composed of roughly 60% water. When you consider that half of all people drink less than recommended and that chronic dehydration leads to an increased risk of chronic diseases and premature mortality, it becomes clear that monitoring this parameter daily is a public health imperative. The good news is that Mark Kendall and his team at WearOptimo have developed a technology that

Three years after the 2022 "crypto winter" severely damaged public confidence in these technologies (even among healthcare leaders), the term Web3 is conspicuously absent from the current healthtech space.So, what happened? And where do we really stand with the adoption of these technologies within our healthcare systems? Anca Petre is perfectly positioned to give us answers. A trained pharmacist, she has been exploring Web3 and its healthcare applications for over eight years, speaking on the

What's the link between quantum physics, AI, and drug discovery?Maximilien Levesque might be the perfect person to answer. A former theoretical physicist, he realised his research could transform drug development by fundamentally understanding how molecules interact at the atomic level. In 2019, he co-founded Aqemia with Emmanuelle Martiano Rolland to turn that vision into reality. Their mission is bold: to design new molecules, atom by atom, capable of binding "undruggable" therapeutic

Can we learn from extreme cancer survivors to develop new treatments?This is the bet that Nicolas Wolikow and his team at Cure51 are making. Backed by the world's top cancer centers and specialists, they work around the clock to build the largest-ever health dataset of patients who defied the odds—people diagnosed with stage 4 cancer who were given a few months to live, yet survived more than five years. The goal is to understand what makes their biology unique and what characterises their

And what can it actually be used for? I asked Blythe Adamson of Flatiron Health to find out the answer. It turns out real-world data is all the medical data collected in the “real world”, meaning outside of any clinical trial. In other words, it's the

How can we solve the puzzle of regulating AI in healthcare? This is the question that Dr. Ricardo Baptista Leite and his team at HealthAI - The Global Agency for Responsible AI in Health ask themselves every day. Their goal? To help international organizations, governments, and local stakeholders strike a balance between regulation and access to the latest innovation in the field. A thorny equation, considering the speed of progress in AI and the time it takes to establish a regulatory framework

When we think of the term "medicine," one of the symbols that comes to mind is the stethoscope.Its use in almost every physical examination by healthcare providers makes it one of the most iconic and widely recognized medical devices. Despite the emergence of digital technologies and the first electronic stethoscopes, their operating principle and design still rely heavily on the patent filed by Dr. David Littmann in the 1960s. But in the era of miniaturization and artificial intelligence, there

Do you have to come close to death to invent a groundbreaking medical device? That’s certainly not something we would wish upon every medtech entrepreneur. But it is the story of Shavini Fernando and the connected earring OxiWear that she developed. Shavini lives with Eisenmenger syndrome, a condition where the two ventricles of her heart communicate. This condition dramatically increases the pressure in her pulmonary vasculature and severely limits the oxygen carried in her blood. It’s a
