Intro to MedTech Trends - a podcast by Dorian Murariu

Welcome to MedTech Trends! 

This is my introduction episode where I talk about my vision for this podcast. I start by introducing myself and how I got into the healthcare industry, which is the central theme of this podcast, and talk about a few topics that I will be diving into throughout the podcast. 

You will hear about my background in epidemiology, and how that field is using statistical methods to de-mystify medical research that we hear about regularly in the news.

I also talk about the complexity of the healthcare industry, and how the doctor-patient interaction is only the tip of the iceberg of what takes place in healthcare. In my estimate, 95% of healthcare happens behind the scenes: in boardrooms, regulatory meetings, manufacturing facilities, and research labs. All of this is to get one treatment into the hands of physicians who can prescribe it to patients. 

I also talk about "access" to the healthcare, which is a complex topic but means a lot to both patients and physicians. Access to healthcare services is always a touchy subject and tends to strayed away from in many discussions. It's closely linked to the availability of medical centers, medical specialists, and funding. It's also closely connected to patient education and other knowledge gaps. 

My goal is to interview physicians, medical researchers and other subject matter experts who can talk about the challenges of treating patients in their medical specialties, and to identify gaps in treatment options. My vision is then to speak with entrepreneurs and investors who are developing solutions to solve those problems, and ultimately to commercialize those solutions so they become available for prescribers to give to patients. 

By identifying gaps and challenges in treating various illnesses, and speaking with researchers, entrepreneurs and investor who are creating solutions to solve those problems, my ultimate goal is to bring new therapies to market in order to empower physicians with more options to treat and cure patients.

That's all for now, and I'll see you in the next one!
