Clinical Trial Design in the Era of AI

Season 16 · Episode 1

Thursday, August 6, 2026 • Duration 22:16

Clinical trials are expensive, slow, and risky. AI promises to improve study planning, patient recruitment, endpoint selection, and evidence review, while also helping teamsextract and summarize complex clinical data. But in regulated healthcare environments, reliability is critical. In this episode, Ome Ogbru, CEO of AINGENS, examines how AI can support clinical trial workflows, why hallucinations and fabricated citations create compliance risks, and how evidence-grounded systems with human oversight may help sponsors and medicalteams use AI more safely.

Rapid Diagnostics for Extreme and Low-Resource Environments

Season 15 · Episode 4

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 • Duration 35:01

Rapid diagnostics can determine whether care moves quickly or stalls in disaster zones, military operations, rural clinics, and global health settings where conventional laboratory infrastructure is unavailable. In this episode, Dr. Paul Yager ofthe University of Washington discusses the engineering behind low-cost point-of-care diagnostics, including microfluidics, paper-based systems, smartphone-enabled readouts, and lab-on-a-chip platforms designed to deliver actionable results closer to the patient. The conversation explores how thesetools are designed for ruggedness, usability, affordability, and reliability when sample handling, power, connectivity, and trained personnel are limited.

Resilient Device Design for Harsh Conditions

Season 15 · Episode 3

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 • Duration 28:31

Devices in extreme settings must withstand vibration, heat, cold, humidity, and physical shock. Drawing lessons from battlefield medicine, polar research, and humanitarian crises, Emily Shaffer, Market Manager for Healthcare at Covestro,and Dr. David Duncan, president at MonuMedical, highlight design approaches that create more durable and universally reliable technologies.

Making Telemedicine Work in Low-Connectivity Environments

Season 15 · Episode 2

Wednesday, July 8, 2026 • Duration 16:24

Telehealth is only as strong as its connection. In this episode, Kelly Collins, Managing Director of SureAdhere by Dimagi, discusses how healthcare teams can deliver, document, and coordinate care in low-connectivity environments — from ruralclinics to global health programs — using offline-capable mobile tools, decision support, and delayed data synchronization.

Why the Next Medical Breakthrough May Come from Space

Season 15 · Episode 1

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 27:22

What if the future of vision restoration depends on manufacturing in microgravity? LambdaVision is using theInternational Space Station to produce artificial retinas made from hundreds of layers of light-activated protein — a process that is difficult to perfect on Earth because gravity can disrupt layer uniformity. In this episode, Dr. Nicole Wagner, LambdaVision CEO and Dr. Michael Roberts, chief scientist of the International Space Station National Lab, discuss how space-based production could improve artificial retina quality, reduce material waste, support regulatory progress, and ultimately help patients affected by macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.

Adaptive DBS: The Next Leap in Closed-Loop Neurostimulation

Season 14 · Episode 3

Tuesday, June 30, 2026 • Duration 23:57

Neurostimulators are moving beyond fixed, always-on stimulation toward therapies that can sense what is happening in the nervous system and adjust in real time. In this episode, we explore adaptive deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders with Dr. Simon Little, associate professor at the University of California San Francisco. He will talk with us about how neural recordings, biomarkers, and machine-learning-assisted personalization could help matchtherapy to a patient’s changing symptoms, medication state, movement, sleep, and daily life — and what this means for the future of responsive neuromodulation.

How Smart Implants and AI Robotics Could Transform Neurological Surgery

Season 14 · Episode 2

Friday, May 15, 2026 • Duration 13:19

Neurological implants are evolving from static hardware into intelligent platforms that can do far more than provide structural support. In this episode, we explore how NeuFluent is thinking about next-generation smart implants and AI-enhanced robotics — technologies designed to improve surgical precision, generate actionable data, and help physicians make better decisions before, during, and after intervention. Pediatric surgeon Dr. Sam Browd, co-CEO and chief medical officer of NeuFluent, will discuss how advances in minimally invasive surgery, navigation, and implant intelligence could reshape neurological and spine care in the years ahead.

How Tissue-Based Approaches Are Enabling Long-Term Implants

Season 14 · Episode 1

Monday, May 11, 2026 • Duration 18:29

For implants designed to perform over time, it’s not always about electronics or batteries — it’s also about biology. There’s a new category of medical devices on the horizon that integrate with and leverage the body’s own tissue to function more effectively, heal more naturally, and dramatically reduce or eveneliminate the need for replacement surgeries. In this episode, John Schorgl, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Peytant Solutions, explores how advanced tissue-based approaches are enabling implants to perform better and remain longer inside the body, thus redefining what long-term success really means.

Training the Future of AI-Powered Surgery

Season 13 · Episode 4

Monday, March 23, 2026 • Duration 18:40

As AI and robotics rapidly advance surgical capabilities, a parallel transformation is reshaping how surgeons aretrained. This episode explores the convergence of artificial intelligence, extended reality (XR), and immersive simulation — and why training may be the most critical factor in unlocking the full potential of next-generation surgical systems. Richard Vincent, CEO and Founder of FundamentalXR, discusseshow scalable, data-driven simulation and haptic feedback are bridging the gap between technology innovation and real-world clinical performance.

Making Human-Centered Robotics Work in the Real World

Season 13 · Episode 3

Monday, March 16, 2026 • Duration 17:29

As robots increasingly share workspaces with people, success depends not only on interaction design but on engineering discipline, safety certification, and reliable system integration. In this episode, Ernst Neumayr, Cobot Business Manager for ABB Robotics, explores how human-centered robotic systems aredeployed at scale, drawing on lessons from collaborative robotics in industrial and regulated environments. He examines how real-world constraints shape the future of robots designed to work alongside people.
