Diabetes tech often advances slowly because of hard constraints: safety, liability, FDA clearance, and reimbursement—so apps take years, pump designs stagnate, and algorithms lag behind what’s possible. In this episode, we unpack how those forces shape timelines and what’s being done to move faster without sacrificing safety. Joining me is Shannon Lantzy, a regulatory innovation expert who started at NASA, earned a PhD in decision science, and later worked with the FDA. She explains how review teams weigh risk, what safeguards drive approvals, and how universal testing standards and simulators could help companies ship meaningful updates sooner.
