    The Future of Connected Medical Devices: From All-In-One Devices to Distributed Sensor Ecosystems

    Many of the medical devices created at Starfish take advantage of sensors to convert the real world into digital data that can be understood by computers.

  • High-fidelity handheld medical device concept created through generative AI prototyping tools.

    Accelerating Early-Stage MedTech Design with Generative AI

    Generative AI is gaining significant attention across industries, and MedTech is no exception. While some tools may still feel like entertaining curiosities, others are starting to make a real impact.

  • Brain-computer interface - A man wearing a brain-computer interface (BCI) headset sits in a clinical setting, concentrating as he appears to control a robotic arm with his mind. His head is overlaid with digital graphics representing brain activity. A doctor in a white lab coat stands nearby, monitoring the interaction. Onscreen data displays in the background suggest medical or neurological analysis. Bold text on the image reads "Brain-Controlled Tech?"

    How Brain-Computer Interfaces Are Mapping the Future of Neurotechnology

    We explore the world of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and the challenges of capturing thought into action. Mark Drlik and Ariana Wilson walk through how these systems translate brain activity into control signals for devices—without needing surgical implants.

  • FDA use of AI in medical device review - A computer chip labeled "AI" on the left side is connected by a black arrow pointing to the right, where wooden blocks stacked vertically spell out "FDA." Above the image is a bold caption that says "They're doing it!" in white text on a black background. The image suggests the FDA is adopting AI technology.

    How the FDA Is Using AI in Regulatory Review

    Ariana Wilson and Mark Drlik dive into how the FDA is adopting artificial intelligence to modernize its regulatory processes. With a new chief AI officer in place and rumors of collaboration with OpenAI, the agency is taking major steps to automate review workflows and improve efficiency.

  • A composite image showing an eye processed through a sequence of transformations from left to right. The leftmost section displays a relatively clear image of a human eye with natural textures and lashes. Moving right, the image becomes increasingly abstract and pixelated through various digital processing techniques, including edge detection, binarization, contrast enhancement, and pixel block reduction. Each vertical segment represents a different stage or algorithm in the image processing pipeline, transitioning from high-resolution realism to low-resolution abstraction.

    Computer Vision: How computers see

    Computer Vision for Medical Devices is constantly evolving and incorporating new techniques and technologies as they emerge.

  • A futuristic smartwatch displaying biometric data on its screen, set against a glowing blue background with abstract graphs. Bold text reads "Where's my Cortisol-Sensing Watch?" in a mix of grey, purple, and black fonts.

    Bio Break: Why Don’t We Have a Cortisol-Sensing Wearable Yet?

    Nick and Joris tackle a question many tech and health enthusiasts have wondered for years: Where is my cortisol-sensing smartwatch? Nick shares a nostalgic story of reading about futuristic wearable technology in Popular Mechanics as a child — devices that would one day monitor biomarkers like cortisol to track stress and overall health. Now, decades later, he and Joris break down why such a wearable device still hasn't become a reality.
