Listen " Why proven MedTech inventor and CEO Daniel Hawkins sees a huge opportunity in AI-powered MRIs "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the DeviceTalk Weekly podcast, Host Tom Salemi talks with MedTech legend Daniel Hawkins, a serial entrepreneur who has a hand in many industry success stories. He was employee number six at Intuitive before setting out on a path of innovation, developing the technologies around companies like Shockwave Medical.
More recently, Hawkins was CEO of Avail Medsystems, the presumed leader of the pack of companies trying to redefine OR communications, but that company shuttered last year when it couldn’t raise additional capital.
Today, Hawkins is leading Vista.ai, which is selling an AI-enabled package that makes it much easier for MRI technologists to capture meaningful images of the heart. Hawkins sees Vista.ai as improving patient care while also helping imaging centers address the crushing shortfall of experts.
