Parenthood changes everyone, but Mark Paul’s life took a drastically different turn the moment his oldest child was born. Paul discovered he had a passion for the OR and patient treatment, a realization that convinced him to switch careers to the medical device industry. Today, Paul leads Stryker’s neurovascular business which, he says, contains the origins of the stroke treatment industry. In this interview, Paul reviews the strength and strategies of the “micro plumbers” who are helping people who are at risk of suffering a stroke or are trying to find their way back.

First, a quick recap of DeviceTalks Boston. Then, a MedtronicTalks Podcast Replay, in which Austin L. Chiang, MD, explains why he brought his sizable social media following to Medtronic, where he serves as chief medical officer of the Gastrointestinal business. Chiang says his decision is directly tied to his excitement about Medtronic’s growing suite of GI products including the AI-powered GI Genius and the swallowable PillCam. Chiang explains why he chose to couple the company’s broad platform with his own social media presence to reach more patients who may need treatment of gastrointestinal care. He also gives advice to other physicians who may want to amplify their own voices through social media.

In this episode, Nick Spadea-Anello, Boston Scientific’s global president of electrophysiology, will explain how the $1.7 billion paid for Baylis Medical will help expand the Boston's extensive EP portfolio.
