Before We Die follows the stories of the brave, audacious, and stubbornly persistent problem-solving gizmologists from the Med-Tech world. Join us as top doctors, scientists, bio-designers, and entrepreneurs share their stories of unimaginable successes and heartbreaking failures as they strive to bring their life-saving technology and diagnostic innovations to the patients who need them the most. The Med-Tech industry is booming, but the obstacles and delays are an endless challenge. Can healthcare catch up with innovation? With an emphasis on the patient perspective, hosts Joey Brenneman, Sandra Miller, John MacMahon, and Craig Ullman lend their humor and expertise to explore the stories behind the people and companies driving a billion-dollar healthcare market. In addition to Before We Die, you'll also have access to Lab Before Slab, the tangential conversation mini-podcast where Sandy, John, and Craig geek out about the latest happenings in the med-tech field
Patients with Glioblastoma brain tumors, require more than just brain surgery. After the procedure they have a high likelihood of recurrence at the same site of the original tumor. The standard of care to slow this recurrence is a series of in-hospital radiation treatments, limiting the patient's quality of life without providing the expectation of a cure. Enter the amazing Gamma Tile -- a collagen-based tile carrying gamma-ray emitting isotopes. Think of it as a radioactive postage stamp that surgeons can place during the initial surgery, eliminating the need for returning to the hospital as well as being more convenient and effective. A win for the patient's quality of life, reducing costs, and in the early series so far, improving survival by 7 months. Joining us to discuss this amazing advancement is Matthew Likens, CEO of GT Medical. Matt shares the success story of Gamma Tile and the struggles in bringing a new product to market during a pandemic. (Encore)
