In this episode of The Hardtech Podcast, we dive into the world of medical device innovation with Tom and Bill from The Waddell Group, a firm that specializes in project management for MedTech ventures. We explore why many healthcare systems still rely on outdated tools like Excel, and how this slows down innovation in a field where precision and progress are critical. The conversation touches on groundbreaking therapies like light-based treatments to reduce reperfusion injury in cardiac care and the crucial role that project management plays in turning medical breakthroughs into market-ready solutions. From avoiding scope creep to learning from project failures, this episode is packed with insight for anyone building in healthcare, hardware, or regulated industries. Special Guest: Tom Waddell.
