Description

This episode explores innovation around tracking and treating different diseases and how this is reshaping the future of healthcare in new ways Dr. Alex Abramson, Assistant Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, joins me as my guest to share his origin story of how tinkering with technology and a passion for science from a young age led him into the field of biomedical research later on. He also talks about the ingestible, implantable, and wearable robotic therapeutic devices he has developed that provide measurable therapeutic outcomes—including how he believes pills will replace insulin and injections and how new patches will track cancer regression in real-time.

Did you ever wonder how an innovation got to its finish line? How innovators saw the future, made a product, and created change – in our world and in their companies? I did. Innovation Storytellers invites changemakers to describe how they created their innovation and just as important – THE STORIES – that made us fall in love with them. Come learn how great innovations need great stories to make them move around the world and how to become a better storyteller in the process. I’m Susan Lindner, the Innovation Storyteller. But I wasn’t always. I’ve been a wannabe revolutionary, an epidemiologist at the CDC and an AIDS educator in the brothels of Thailand helping to turn former sex workers into entrepreneurs. Trained as an anthropologist and the Founder of Emerging Media, I’ve spent the last twenty years working with innovators from 60+ countries. Ranging from cutting edge startups to Fortune 100 companies like GE, Corning, Citi, Olayan, and nine foreign governments, helping their leaders to tell their stories and teaching them how to become incredible advocates for their innovations. Great innovation stories make change possible. They let us step into a future we can’t see yet. I started this podcast to shine a light on our generation of great innovators, to learn how they brought their innovation to life and the stories they told to bring them to the world.
