Making Generative Designs Manufacturable (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI-powered and computational design tools can generate intricate geometries for surgical instruments, drug-delivery systems, robotic components, diagnostic equipment, and other medical technologies. But a design optimized in software must still be translated into a reliable physical part. In this episode, Eric Utley, Applications Engineering Leader at Protolabs, explores how engineers take complex, algorithm-generated concepts from CAD model to prototype and, ultimately, production. He will help
Regulating AI-Created Devices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If AI contributes to device design, development, or lifecycle decision-making, who is responsible for safety? In this episode, Ravi Nabar, CEO of QuAIZen, explores how manufacturers can govern AI-assisted innovation through validation, documentation, quality-system controls, post-market monitoring, and evolving regulatory expectations.
Exploring Simulation-First Prototyping of Medical Devices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Virtual twins are reducing reliance on costly bench testing and early-stage prototypes. By simulating device performance across populations and environments, developers are shortening cycles and improving safety before physical builds. In this episode, Dr. Amanda Randles, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University, looks at how simulation is changing medical device development.
Clinical Trial Design in the Era of AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Clinical trials are expensive, slow, and risky. AI promises to improve study planning, patient recruitment, endpoint selection, and evidence review, while also helping teamsextract and summarize complex clinical data. But in regulated healthcare environments, reliability is critical. In this episode, Ome Ogbru, CEO of AINGENS, examines how AI can support clinical trial workflows, why hallucinations and fabricated citations create compliance risks, and how evidence-grounded systems with human ove
Rapid Diagnostics for Extreme and Low-Resource Environments (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rapid diagnostics can determine whether care moves quickly or stalls in disaster zones, military operations, rural clinics, and global health settings where conventional laboratory infrastructure is unavailable. In this episode, Dr. Paul Yager ofthe University of Washington discusses the engineering behind low-cost point-of-care diagnostics, including microfluidics, paper-based systems, smartphone-enabled readouts, and lab-on-a-chip platforms designed to deliver actionable results closer to the
