Reviews

  • Childish

    The idea of the podcast In Medtech is a great idea but running it as child program with infantile jokes seems ridiculous.

    I would prefer having adults that have funnier jokes and more in-depth perception.

  • Really enjoying the DeviceTalks podcast. Tom and Chris are extremely knowledgeable about the medtech

    A great podcast for anyone interetsed in medical device technology with two highly informed and charming hosts. Tom and Chris have their fingers on the pulse of the industry and regularly interview some of the most impactful members of the med tech community. The content is accessible to anyone so don't be intimidated if you aren't an engineer or a surgeon. The guys do a fantastic job of keeping things casual and fun while delving into some fairly complex suibject matter. A+

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CEO Stephen From Is Building Tested Strategies into a New Plan to Put Vicarious Surgical Back on Track
Q: Why focus on ventral hernia repair as the first indication?
Ventral hernia repair represents a large, open-surgery-dominant market where our system's capabilities can unlock minimally invasive options across the entire abdomen, addressing a major unmet need that other platforms struggle to satisfy.
CEO Stephen From Is Building Tested Strategies into a New Plan to Put Vicarious Surgical Back on Track
Q: What are your next steps to bring the platform to clinic?
We are moving through a staged development plan: engineering builds, beta builds with surgeon feedback, engineering builds again, and now applying a strict quality management system to enable regulated testing and IDE submission. The goal is to complete design freeze and proceed to de novo/IDE clearance with FDA.
CEO Stephen From Is Building Tested Strategies into a New Plan to Put Vicarious Surgical Back on Track
Q: What is the core problem Vicarious Surgical aims to solve in the abdominal space?
We want to miniaturize a robotic system that gives surgeons full dexterity and a complete set of freedoms of movement inside the abdomen, with open-surgery-like visualization, while being minimally invasive. This addresses the ceiling-and-floor movement constraints that limit current platforms.
CEO Stephen From Is Building Tested Strategies into a New Plan to Put Vicarious Surgical Back on Track
Q: Stephen, how did you end up in MedTech after a long career in biotech and pharma?
My background in accounting and finance, followed by M&A and capital markets experience, gave me a broad view. I joined regenerative medicine and gene therapy ventures because I loved biology and the challenge of bringing complex science to market; Vicarious was a natural fit when the right strategic opportunity came along.
How Stryker’s Smart Hospital platform is supporting professionals on healthcare’s frontlines
Q: How are healthcare teams currently experiencing the build-out of the Smart Hospital platform across institutions?
Most health systems are at the beginning of their journey and seek strategic partners who understand clinical workflows, patient care data, and medical devices; they're looking for multi-year collaborations rather than one-off purchases.
