The Medical Device Success Podcast and Videocast is a combination of interviews with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and MedTech leaders along with some solo podcasts aimed at improving the ability of the audience to better understand and compete in today’s rapidly changing healthcare ecosystem. We seek out SMEs in areas that can assist MedTech companies in:
• Marketing strategies, tactics and technologies
• Sales strategies, tactics and technologies
• The future of MedTech – technology trends and implementation
• Health research & economics
• Provider issues (hospital systems, ambulatory surgical care, etc.)
In our “In the C-Suite” series we like to get leadership perspectives from MedTech leaders.
