Medical Device Success
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.
Episode 100 – Value Based Care, Data and Scale with Joseph Schulman, Senior VP Enterprise Data and Chief of Information Intelligence
100 episodes! Wow! Hard to believe. Over 64,000 cumulative downloads. Thank you for all your support. And…..you will have to keep listening because there is a lot more to share with you.
Today we go back to value-based care from the providers viewpoint. Joseph Schulman is back for the second time. Joe is the Senior Vice President Enterprise Data and Chief of Information Intelligence at Northwell Health.
Yes, we talk a bit about how Value Based Care is influencing a large healthcare system. And, we discuss whether it is sustainable. However, I want you to listen carefully to what Joe talks about. Its is about data and scale. Would you ever think that a healthcare system executive would talk in terms as if he was from Google or Microsoft. This is where our large healthcare systems are investing strategically so they can succeed in a rapidly changing environment. Joe likes Peter Drucker’s quote, “You can’t improve what you don’t measure.”
Point is, if you are going to truly know your customer, you need to know this. Whether you sell one item to the operating room or dozens of items to every floor in the hospital….you need to know this.
A quick aside, I really enjoyed my visit to BIOMEDevice Boston. It was an impressive trade show. I recorded two podcasts from the stage there. It was informative and fun. For those of you out west, there is BIOMEDevice Silicone Valley taking place November 29 and 30 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. I highly recommend it and will put a link in the show notes.
If you like the podcast, please share it with a friend via the share link of you podcast player of choice. Thank you!

Episode 99 – Life Science Women’s Mastermind Group with Shelly O’Donovan, CEO, Authentic Influence Group
Fact is, women have more challenges in pursuing their careers than men. In the show notes you will find a link to the McKinsey 2021 report on Women in the Workplace that clearly spells this out. To address these challenges, Shelly O’Donovan, CEO, Authentic Influence Group is creating a Life Science Women’s Mastermind group in the MedTech Leaders community. In this podcast, Shelly and I discuss the goals of this mastermind group and how masterminds are different from masterclasses. And, we talk about how this particular group will help the professional women that participate with their career challenges. Now guys, this is not your que to turn off the podcast because the elements of a successful mastermind group could pertain to you. Perhaps you would like to start one. If after listening to this podcast you want to learn more about Shelly’s group, go to Medtechleaders.net. There you will find a plan page that is specific to the Life Science Women’s Mastermind group. There will also be links in the show notes to Shelly’s LI profile and her business website.
I recorded the interview with Shelly several weeks ago. In the interview, we talk about starting the group in late September. It is already late September. The group will start in October once we have a few members on board.

Episode 98 – Trade Shows and Events, 2023, What you should do. Part 2
2023 is right around the corner. Let’s break that habit of last minute planning for shows and events. To help us start planning for 2023, Lauren and Kimberly are back for part 2 of this two part series. Lauren Dustman is Senior Manager, Global Events at Hyperfine and Kimberly Stanséll is a Meeting, Trade Show and Event Strategy Consultant. In this episode we cover the phases of planning, forecast for attendance in 2023, where trade shows and events are in the marketing mix, site visits, trade show technologies and what doesn’t work. This is another episode that is fun and full of good advice.
A quick bit of housekeeping.
First, in the show notes you will see a link to a podcast survey. Please please take the survey. It will help me provide a better podcast for you. The most important questions are at the end of the survey. Thank you in advance!!
Second, I have accepted BIOMEDevice Boston and BIOMEDevice Silicone Valley as a sponsor for several episodes. So, you will hear a couple of ads in my voice during these episodes. They are short, to the point and of great value for many listeners.

Episode 97 – Trade Shows and Events, What’s changed and what you should do. Part 1
I am honored to have two event planning experts, Lauren Dustman, Senior Manager, Global Events at Hyperfine and Kimberly Stanséll, Meeting, Trade Show and Event Strategy Consultant to guide us today in this conversation. Combined, these ladies manage about 100 shows and events annually. Today’s episode is the first of two episodes about medical trade shows. Last week we talked about industry trade shows. Today, we cover the 2022 trade show and event experience year to date and what we think will happen this fall. How have trade shows changed and what should you consider doing differently this fall to optimize them? Of course, we talk about alternatives to traditional trade show activity. This is a great conversation full of pointed advice. The second episode focuses on trade shows in 2023. Yes, it is August and 2023 will come sooner than you think.
A quick bit of housekeeping.
First, I have changed the podcast art. This is what you see when you go to the library of your podcast player of choice and look for the MDS podcast. I felt like the original art was dated and needed to be refreshed. So, don’t freak out when you don’t see the old art.
Second, in the show notes you will see a link to a podcast survey. Please please take the survey. It will help me provide a better podcast for you. The most important questions are at the end of the survey. Thank you in advance!!
Finally, I have accepted a sponsor for several episodes. So, you will hear a couple of ads in my voice during these episodes. They are short, to the point and of value for many listeners

Episode 95 – Digital Surgery with Jawad Ali, MD
Do you know the 6 pillars of Digital Surgery? Many pre-surgical, surgical and post-surgical technologies that have been developed individually are now being brought together under the banner of Digital Surgery. What does this mean and what are these pillars? To help us with this is Jawad Ali, MD, a surgeon and community builder. Dr. Ali is working with SAGES to write an article to better define and classify this important subject. We will also talk about how MedTech intersects with this area and how MedTech companies can be sure they are not left behind. As usual, the big companies have already invested in this concept. Let’s be sure the small and medium sized companies get invested too.
