Scott Nelson is a true authority in the Medtech field. A serial entrepreneur, investor, and early podcaster with Medsider, he currently leads FastWave Medical, a startup developing a method to combat atherosclerosis, specifically the rigid plaques formed by significant calcium deposits in blood vessels. The principle behind this technology is cavitation, which involves the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in a liquid medium. When sonic pressure waves are transmitted through a balloon catheter filled with liquid, they cause rapid pressure changes in the surrounding fluid. These pressure changes result in the formation of bubbles within the fluid rapidly expanding and collapsing violently. The shock waves created by these bubbles' explosion weaken solid nearby structures while leaving soft tissues intact. The idea is to break down calcium deposits without affecting the blood vessels, which regain flexibility. It thereby reduces the risk of obstruction or increased local blood pressure, and facilitates the placement of a stent or the expansion of the vessel with another balloon catheter. The method, called intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), is already used by interventional cardiologists. Still, much work remains to make it easier to use, more cost-efficient, and ultimately democratize further this practice, whose clinical benefits have already been proven. This is at the core of FastWave Medical’s mission. Given the rapid development of the company (having raised $12 million in just six months after its incorporation in 2021) and its progress in clinical validation stages, there is no doubt that it is poised to disrupt and expand an emerging market where only a few firms operate. In this episode, we talk with Scott about medtech entrepreneurship, being a visionary in a highly regulated industry, and the importance of sharing experience and expertise to progress daily in one’s healthcare career. An episode with one of the leading voices in the medtech scene, offering a glimpse into the future of cardiac surgery! Timeline: 00:02:23 - Scott’s background in Medtech 00:07:34 - FastWave Medical’s mission in cardiac surgery 00:10:35 - Working principle of IVL 00:20:23 - Adoption in clinical practice 00:22:30 - What FastWave Medical does differently than its competitors 00:26:33 - Driving the costs of the surgical intervention down 00:27:44 - Towards additional medical indications for IVL 00:30:58 - Starting Medsider and podcasting before the iPhone What we also talked about with Scott: Stents Balloon catheters Atherectomy Joovv Shockwave Medical CTO Plus Cardiovascular Research Foundation Miguel Montero-Baker Venkatesh Ramaiah As mentioned by Scott during the episode, we recommend looking at the IVL Science page on FastWave Medical’s website as well as The Catalyst Blog curated by Shockwave Medical, to learn more about IVL and its latest progress.

Alzheimer's disease has long been a formidable challenge, but recent scientific breakthroughs offer a glimmer of hope. The FINGER study, a landmark in Alzheimer's research, demonstrated the power of simple lifestyle changes in preventing cognitive decline. However, translating these findings into practical, everyday strategies has proven elusive. In this episode of StartUp Health NOW, we explore how Mindr, a pioneering startup in our Alzheimer’s Moonshot Community, is bridging the gap between research – the FINGER study – and real-world application in the lives of people at risk for Alzheimer’s and dementia. By leveraging the best of modern consumer tech – like a well designed app on your phone – Mindr aims to make internationally-recognized advances in healthcare accessible to everyone. This is a story that applies in almost every area of health. We have the information, but we struggle to get it out of the lab, out of the peer reviewed journal, and into everyday life. Mindr's co-founders Adam Schultz and Ariana Myers explain how they’re attempting to bridge this divide and what it will take to succeed on a bigger scale. Join us as we discuss the importance of connecting research to practice and how Mindr is empowering individuals to take proactive steps toward a healthier brain.
