Insights and observations that spark medtech innovation
Everyone has a mental toolkit of innovation – a series of patterns that innovative people find. They take something and they break it into pieces or they take pieces and put them together or they put things upside down or they hollow them out or they turn them inside out or they…what else do we do? We think about it backwards or what if some piece was missing. How much difference would that make with the outside in and inside out? What if we actually thought of it from the other perspective altogether?

INTERVIEW: GraftWorx’s Dave Kuraguntla and Amit Rushi on patient monitoring devices and precision medicine
Connected medical devices are growing by leaps and bounds. GraftWorx Founder and CEO Dave Kuraguntla and VP Product, Marketing, and Business Development Amit Rushi recently spoke about their work on connected monitoring solutions and the implications for precision medicine. Below are a few snippets from their conversation.
Dave: With GraftWorx we have created a remote monitoring platform that improves the management of patients with chronic conditions. Our beachhead market is in dialysis, where the patients have many co-morbidities and have complex care to manage. Comprehensively monitoring the dialysis patient, along with those additional issues, enables GraftWorx to enter into adjacent markets such as heart failure and peripheral arterial disease. The real key feature is clinically actionable cardiovascular metrics. This is what really enables the care team to optimize patient care.
