Join host Justin Starbird on this episode of TAG'D: Beyond the Award, as he sits down with Adrian Mendes, CEO of Perimeter Medical Imaging AI. Perimeter recently earned the prestigious TAG Awards Top Innovator Award in MedTech 2025 for their groundbreaking OCT System with Image Assist AI, recognized for its exceptional contributions to surgical imaging and AI integration.

Adrian walks Justin through the incredible journey of developing this transformative technology. The current OCT System provides surgeons with real-time, unprecedented clarity, enabling them to achieve clear margins in cancer surgeries, particularly in breast cancer, by leveraging advanced imaging to deliver crucial visual information during operations. 

The conversation then shifts to their next-generation product, currently awaiting FDA approval, which takes innovation a step further by integrating artificial intelligence. This AI layer acts as an intelligent assistant, helping surgeons rapidly identify suspicious areas within images and streamline decision-making in the operating room.

Adrian shares the company's ambitious vision for expanding the application of their technology beyond breast cancer to other types of cancers, underscoring the broad impact it could have on patient outcomes. He also conveys the immense excitement surrounding the continuous innovation within the MedTech industry and how Perimeter is at the forefront of this evolution, consistently pushing the boundaries of what's possible in medical imaging and AI. This episode offers a deep dive into the technology, mission, and the clear future of precision surgery.
