  • Interesting incites

    Good choice of topics/people. I’m really interested in the transition from big to small and small to big, whether product or company.

    As well as walking thru what didn’t work and trying to figure out why. I loose interest quickly if someone claims and a to b path to success.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Building Commercial Conviction Before Launch: Interview with SetPoint Medical CEO Murthy Simhambhatla
Q: How does SetPoint view the economic case and payer adoption?
The company leveraged pivotal trial data, patient preference studies, and health economic analysis showing drug avoidance and cost savings for payers, aiming to present a clear, data-driven value proposition that supports payer and hospital adoption.
Building Commercial Conviction Before Launch: Interview with SetPoint Medical CEO Murthy Simhambhatla
Q: Why RA was chosen as the first indication and how might adjacent indications be pursued?
RA was chosen because it is the largest autoimmune market and the clinical pathway was established; adjacent indications like psoriatic arthritis and IBD are promising due to shared mechanisms and overlap in patient populations, but sequencing remains deliberate to protect launch focus.
Building Commercial Conviction Before Launch: Interview with SetPoint Medical CEO Murthy Simhambhatla
Q: What are the three key elements Murthy tries to instill at SetPoint?
He emphasizes building a team with growth mindset and cultural fit, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and starting with the end in mind to visualize commercial reality years ahead, then iterating with agility and openness to course corrections.
What Makes a Medtech Company Investable? Interview with Neuros Medical CEO David Veino
Q: What were the keys to executing a gold-standard trial for a first-of-its-kind therapy?
We conducted a randomized, double-blind trial against an active sham because our therapy is on-demand and has a discernible mechanism. Achieving 12-month blinded follow-up with a sham arm and ensuring robust secondary endpoints like opioid reduction and quality-of-life improvements were critical to credibility and reimbursement decisions.
What Makes a Medtech Company Investable? Interview with Neuros Medical CEO David Veino
Q: What makes up the core patient journey and how do you map the referral pathway upstream?
We look beyond the end user to identify where patients first come into contact with care—podiatry, internal medicine, family practice, and ultimately vascular surgeons. Educating prosthetists and other upstream players creates a network of referral sources that helps patients reach the right clinicians and the Neuros device at the appropriate time.
