From Parkinson’s to Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Scaling MedTech Innovation | Podcast with Lise Pape #51

Описание: 🎙️ Podcast Episode Description — Lise Pape (Walk With Path)

In this podcast call, we speak with Lise Pape, founder of Walk With Path, a MedTech company. Lise shares her unique journey, which began with a background in human biology and innovation design engineering, driven by a personal interest in mobility due to her father's Parkinson's disease.

Walk With Path initially developed a medical device for Parkinson’s, but since 2019, the company has pivoted its primary focus to insole technology for diabetic foot ulcer prevention. Lise explains that growth in the medical field requires steady progress, including securing regulatory approvals (CE, UKCA, FDA) and clinical evidence, which they have successfully achieved and published.
