Episode Description

What does real innovation in healthcare actually look like—beyond buzzwords and recycled ideas? In this episode, Stewart Gandolf speaks with Bobak Salehi of Biotronik about how meaningful innovation starts by asking better questions, deliberately doing what others aren’t, and iterating quickly. Through memorable case studies—from a human-powered aircraft to a violin built from a medical device—Bobak shares practical lessons healthcare leaders can apply to marketing, product strategy, and engagement, including how AI can act as a powerful creative partner without replacing human judgment.
