This week we’ll visit with Daniel Hawkins, CEO of Avail Medsystems. Hawkins is a prolific and successful medtech entrepreneur who was an early employee at Intuitive and co-founder of Shockwave Medical. Hawkins talks about both experiences, but DeviceTalks listeners should listen carefully for his insights on how ASCs are changing medtech and how OEMs are using Avail’s telepresence system to compensate. DeviceTalks Editorial Director Tom Salemi and Managing Editor Kayleen Brown share their takeways from the MedtechVISION conference in Menlo Park. The conference raised many themes that we’ll be exploring at DeviceTalks West on October 18-19 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Thanks for listening to the DeviceTalks Weekly Podcast.
