Engineering prowess is a key attribute when it comes to developing and commercialising a med tech device, but what attributes make a successful engineer? 
 
 In this episode of Med Tech Talks, Dr Paul Minty shares the one key attribute that elevates the best engineers above the rest in the med tech industry. 

Dr Paul Minty is COO of the highly innovative company, Deep Brain Stimulations Technologies Pty Ltd, which was established in 2019 to commercialise an adaptive deep brain stimulation system for Parkinson’s disease.

DBS Tech's system uses a novel brain signal called  Evoked Resonant Neural Activity (ERNA), to help surgeons implant electrodes in anaesthetised patients during Parkinson’s surgery with greater accuracy.

This will transform the experience of patients, as they currently need to be awake during surgery so that they can report on symptoms and guide placement of the electrode.

In this episode, you will hear about: 

• Paul’s unique career trajectory that has led to him becoming the COO of DBS Technologies.
• The incredible work being undertaken at DBS Technologies that aims to enhance the experience of deep brain stimulation for patients with Parkinson’s disease.
• His thoughts on the med tech ecosystem and the path forward for Australian innovation.
