In this episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly podcast, iRhythm CEO Quentin Blackford shares his MedTech journey, the tech powering iRhythm’s arrhythmia detection, and what it takes to disrupt traditional healthcare. He talks patient engagement, predictive care, and the company’s push deeper into primary care.
In this week’s FOMO, you’ll hear my interview with Zimmer Biomet CEO and President Ivan Tornos.
We kick things off with MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker’s Newmarker’s Newsmakers, covering Medtronic, Alcon, Staar Surgical, Inspire Medical, Edwards Lifesciences, and HistoSonics.
