🟢Say hi to our 2024-25 class! Today we welcomed our newest cohorts of Innovation and Policy fellows who started their journey by meeting their peers, staff, and second-year fellows, and getting acquainted with the place that’ll see them grow immensely in the next 10 months. Day 1 started with a warm welcome from the Stanford Biodesign leadership team, followed by different introductory sessions, team-building activities, and a tour of the Biodesign space at the James H. Clark building. Stay tuned for more updates on their biodesign journey! #biodesign #innovationeducation #healthtech #healthpolicy

🟢 Register now Join Stanford Biodesign’s director Josh Makower in Washington, D.C, next month, for a conversation on the future of CED at USC’s Capital Campus. He’ll share findings from our Policy Program’s research on how payment/coverage policies impact innovation. Medicare is considering changes to an important program meant to provide beneficiaries with access to newly approved drugs and devices. The nearly 20-year-old program, known as Coverage with Evidence Development (CED), has recently faced questions about whether it’s working as intended. “The Future of Medicare's Coverage with Evidence Development Policy” is an event organized in collaboration with the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics and the Center for the Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health (CEVR). Attendees will hear from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) officials, learn about the latest research and share ideas on how CED could be improved. Register here to join in-person or virtually: https://lnkd.in/eqAwcfMh

Our alumni community is thriving! This month, it was great to see the Stanford Biodesign Alumni Association (SBAA) creating opportunities for alumni in Orange County, Palo Alto, and the East Bay to reconnect, and also hosting a happy hour for our new Innovation and Policy fellows. Whether you're looking to strengthen old connections or make new ones, this is a great way to keep in touch with the biodesign community. Interested in joining the next event? Be on the lookout for announcements from the SBAA or reach out to Victoria Wu and Allie Knauer. #StanfordBiodesignAlumni #Networking #Biodesign #SBAA #healthtech

“You should keep in mind that whatever product you develop, it will be used by someone's mother, father, son or daughter and that is a responsibility we should all take seriously (...) Personal responsibility, fairness, respect, integrity, and accountability are important values to understand.” ―Andrew Cleeland “A leader can come from anywhere and [leadership] is characterized by its motivation to make a change in the world.”― Colby Holtshouse “The values of the company are its immune system and they help us know what is and isn’t working…following our principles helps us close any wound effectively.” ―Tracy MacNeal This morning, our fellows received a masterclass in principled leadership from Andrew Cleeland , CEO at Fogarty Innovation, Tracy MacNeal, president and CEO at Materna Medical, and Colby Holtshouse, global medtech commercial lead at Organon. Among the topics they touched on was how to establish values as a leader and then use them as a guide through conflict, decision-making, and team-building. Thank you so much for coming! It's always good to have you in the studio. #biodesign #leadership #innovationeducation #healthinnovation #medtech

Our Innovation fellows are just over a week away from starting their clinical immersion! In advance of that, they’re benefitting from a series of clinical lectures to get them better acquainted with this year’s focus areas: physical and rehabilitation medicine, pain medicine, and addiction. This week they learned from three amazing professionals: Dr. James Crew, chair of the physical medicine and rehabilitation department at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, shared a general overview of traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries in the US, including information on the recovery process and the benefits of intensive therapy. Dr. Vafi Salmasi, assistant professor of anesthesiology, perioperative and pain medicine at Stanford Health Care guided the fellows through interventional treatments for chronic pain and provided insights into some areas of improvement in the field, especially the need for better data collection and devices. Dr. Alpana Gowda, clinical assistant professor, anesthesiology, perioperative and pain medicine, highlighted the key drivers for innovation and the solutions still needed in the current electrodiagnostic studies and practices. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us! #biodesign #innovationeducation #healthinnovation #painmedicine
