From Idea to Market: Ep 1 - The Spark

Описание: Send a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


This episode explores how medical innovation actually begins—not in labs or boardrooms, but in operating rooms, clinics, and patient encounters where routine practice no longer feels acceptable. We speak with orthopedic surgeons, engineers, and founders who've lived the journey from clinical frustration to real-world solutions.


Innovation doesn't start with a breakthrough moment. It starts when someone notices the same problem repeatedly and decides they can't look away. Through conversations with surgeons like Jared Foran, Leo Whiteside, Charles Lawrie, and others, we examine three critical questions: How does a problem shift from inconvenience to obligation? What signals that an issue is structurally ignored rather than simply unsolved? And why do certain clinicians feel compelled to act while others move on? This is the first episode in our "From Idea to Market" series, designed to make the innovation process more transparent for practicing clinicians and anyone fostering an idea right now.


Whether you're an orthopedic surgeon, trainee, researcher, or engineer, this episode reveals what the spark of innovation looks like in real life—and why noticing the problem is only the beginning.
