Ireland's medical device ecosystem took decades to build, and that depth is hard to replicate. In this episode, Michael Storan, Vice President of Life Sciences at IDA Ireland, talks about how Ireland became a global hub for medical devices. He explains how IDA Ireland supports multinational companies expanding overseas, from scale manufacturing to innovation partnerships. He shares how Galway is moving from manufacturing excellence into earlier-stage product design, and how AI and digital manufacturing are shaping what comes next. He also traces the agency's history and why decades of skills, quality experience, and suppliers are so difficult to copy. Tune in to hear what it takes to build a medtech ecosystem that lasts!

Medical devices can no longer be secured once at launch and left alone. In this episode, Joe Gullo, Commercial Sales Leader at Red Balloon Security, discusses how the company protects connected devices while they are running. Recorded live at the MedTech Conference, Joe explains how Red Balloon embeds a lightweight code called Symbiote into device firmware to monitor memory and tasks, and block rogue processes before they cause harm. He shares how the company's work with ARPA-H's UPGRADE program is opening doors across the medical device industry, and why AI is shrinking the time attackers need to find and exploit a vulnerability. Joe also explains why FDA expectations for lifetime security mean a one-time cybersecurity check is no longer enough, and how runtime protection can reduce emergency patching and free engineers to focus on improving products.

AI is powerful, but most health systems still can't point to the savings. In this episode, Zach Silverzweig, Co-Founder and CEO of CipherHealth, talks about turning AI's potential into real results for health systems. He shares how CipherHealth has brought new technology into hospitals for 17 years, including the products that failed along the way. He explains why the last mile from a promising AI project to a live, working solution is so hard, and why security and governance matter. He also shares two opportunities for health systems: reviewing underused application spend and using AI to make existing teams more productive while keeping humans in the loop.

Neuroscience is advancing faster than ever, and the biggest risk is the shift from science to commercial reality. In this episode, Ginger Johnson, Senior Vice President at Lumanity, and Isabella (Bella) Giaquinta, Senior Consultant at Lumanity, discuss why commercial thinking needs to start early in neuroscience development. They explain why teams should define a target product profile before entering the clinic, covering the intended patient, the value the product is meant to deliver, and the evidence needed to support it. Ginger shares why the largest market is not always the right first indication, and why smart sequencing can build confidence in a mechanism, shape physician and payer perception, and set up future indications. Bella explores how psychedelics illustrate the challenge, from monitoring and site-of-care needs to access and reimbursement. They also unpack the evolving role of biomarkers and how precision psychiatry, supported by AI, could help match patients to the treatments most likely to work for them. Tune in to learn how defining the patient, the meaningful benefit, and the real-world use case early can turn promising neuroscience into products that succeed!

Better musculoskeletal care starts with a better patient experience. In this episode, Dr. Mary O’Connor, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Vori Health, discusses building a physician-led virtual MSK practice that delivers more appropriate, patient-centered, and cost-effective care. She traces her path from orthopedic surgeon and health system leader to startup co-founder and explains how early MRIs can trigger a cascade of inappropriate care when the findings have nothing to do with a patient’s symptoms. Dr. O’Connor describes how Vori’s integrated visit brings the physician and physical therapist together for a single evaluation, and how health coaches support sleep, nutrition, and mental health. She also shares the thinking behind her book, Taking Care of You, and is candid about why the current payment model makes it hard for health systems to reduce inappropriate surgery. For self-insured employers, she outlines an ecosystem of imaging, surgeon, and virtual nonsurgical care partners that improves quality while controlling costs. Tune in to hear why patient experience is central to engagement, outcomes, and cost! Resources: Connect with and follow Dr. Mary O'Connor on LinkedIn.

Nursing isn’t short on nurses. It’s short on engagement. In this episode, Curtis Anderson, Founder and CEO of Nursa, discusses how the company is working to ensure that a nurse is at the bedside of every patient in need. He shares how buying a nurse staffing agency in 2017 led him to replace manual, whiteboard-and-sticky-note matchmaking with technology that connects facilities and clinicians directly. Curtis explains how Nursa operates as a two-sided marketplace, matching like-for-like while maximizing earnings for clinicians and delivering reliable, lower-cost staffing for facilities. He also challenges the narrative of a nursing shortage, explaining why he sees it as an engagement and participation problem, and how giving clinicians choice and flexibility can keep more licensed nurses working. Tune in to learn how rethinking engagement can help close the staffing gap and build a more hopeful future for nursing!

The next wave of healthcare AI may do its best work as a companion rather than a replacement. In this episode, Terry Miller, Vice President of Machine Learning and AI at Omada Health, talks about edge healthcare and the convergence of wearables, biometrics, mobile diagnostics, robotics, and AI that moves care closer to where people live. Terry explains how a longitudinal view of health helps organizations intervene before someone reaches their sickest point. He describes why patients now expect care that adapts to them. He also makes the case for AI that grows from static recommendations into an agentic companion, one that keeps people engaged and coordinates care while supporting the caregivers around them.

Mental health support is most effective when people can reach it before their hardest moments. In this episode, Jana French, Public Sector Partnerships Director at Crisis Text Line, talks about how text-based support can make crisis care more accessible. She explains that people can text 741741 or 988 for more than suicidal thoughts, including anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and other difficult moments. Jana also shares how Crisis Text Line brings together trained volunteers, clinical supervision, and technology to support people across the country, while giving volunteers valuable communication skills. She discusses the role AI can play in triage and in spotting broader trends, while emphasizing that human connection remains at the heart of crisis support.
