    Protecting Medical Devices Throughout Their Lifetime with Joe Gullo, Commercial Sales Leader at Red Balloon Security
    2026/11/05
    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.

  • Bringing Commercial Thinking Into Early Neuroscience Development with Ginger Johnson, Senior Vice President at Lumanity, and Isabella Giaquinta, Senior Consultant at Lumanity

    Bringing Commercial Thinking Into Early Neuroscience Development with Ginger Johnson, Senior Vice President at Lumanity, and Isabella Giaquinta, Senior Consultant at Lumanity
    2026/11/02
    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!

    How Patient Engagement Drives Better Treatment Outcomes with Dr. Mary O’Connor, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Vori Health
    2026/10/29
    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.

  • Why Nurse Staffing Is an Engagement Problem, Not a Numbers Problem with Curtis Anderson, Founder and CEO of Nursa

    Why Nurse Staffing Is an Engagement Problem, Not a Numbers Problem with Curtis Anderson, Founder and CEO of Nursa
    2026/10/27
    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!
