After years of working with founders and technical teams, I have learned that early design missteps rarely come from engineering flaws. More often than not, they come from missing conversations.
-
Medtech founders operate with more constraints than most sectors. You are responsible for deep technical problem solving, high-stakes decisions, regulatory navigation, investor conversations, and a constant stream of operational tasks.
-
Consumer health prediction shapes more of daily life than most people realize. In this episode of Bio Break, Nick and Nigel explore how retail data can reveal health information without a person ever speaking to a clinician.
-
Every MedTech startup begins with a hypothesis, an idea that could transform patient outcomes, simplify delivery of care, or improve how clinicians diagnose and treat patients.
-
When Ariana Wilson and Mark Drlik take apart a common appliance, they uncover engineering principles that connect directly to medtech.
-
When reviewing evidence for a medical device, a single citation can shape an entire submission. In this Bio Break episode, Nick shares a biofilm referencing lesson that has stayed with him since the early 2000s.
-
Every phase of a device’s life cycle involves different people with distinct needs—from clinicians and patients to service technicians and regulatory bodies.
-
Nick Allan and Nigel Syrotuck explain how a fluorescent protein assay helps engineers measure contamination and cleaning performance in medical devices.
-
Your team is ready for design validation. The prototype performs well, test plans are in motion, and everything points to a smooth handoff to manufacturing. Then your partner calls with bad news: they can’t build the device as designed.
