From Dorm Room to Disruptor: Reinventing the Bionic Hand


Listen Later

Gurus, what happens when a med student asks for a 3D printer for their birthday? For Dhruv Agrawal, Co-Founder and CEO of Aether Biomedical, that gift became the launchpad for a global MedTech breakthrough.

In this episode, Dhruv shares how he went from medical school to creating the Zeus Hand—the world’s first fully remote-adjustable, repairable, and Medicare-reimbursable bionic hand. With over 800 devices in use across 15 countries, Dhruv didn’t just build better hardware—he built an ecosystem that empowers clinicians and patients alike.
