HEALTH TECH ON THE HORIZON

Diabetes has risen steadily from 108 million to more than 420 million globally from 1980-2014. The COVID-19 pandemic has also brought on a new level of risk for people with diabetes. Join host Mike Rugnetta as he talks with John Nosta, technology theorist and founder of the digital health think tank Nosta Lab, and Laura Brandner, Director of Real World Evidence Programs, Abbott Diabetes Care. The discussion spans from the current and future state of diabetes to the scientific evolution of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and the importance of having enhanced data and evolving technology in order to help prevent and control diabetes and its complications.

Future of Nutrition podcast: Abbott discusses how climate change and technology will impact the world’s ability to meet the nutritional needs of growing populations.

The human heart is getting an ultra-modern, hi-tech assist to perform its work. Join Dr. Jack Kreindler (physician and health tech entrepreneur), Dr. Andreas Fleischili (Abbott) and host Mike Rugnetta as they discuss the ever-thinning line between man and machine and the desire to increase not only the length of life but the quality of those added years. They discuss the evolution in medical care from products that are ingested, such as pharmaceuticals, to those implanted, such as heart pumps. Modern technology is building on the success of tools like life-saving pacemakers to develop significantly advanced heart health products such as sophisticated heart pumps that allow for frictionless transfer of blood, reducing cell damage. Learn about the progress being made in cardiac innovations and the process by which remarkable ideas become medical realities.
