On this episode, practising orthopaedic surgeon and founder of Touch Surgery, Ad Gandhe joins the show to discuss Amodisc, his latest venture. This conversation cuts deep into healthcare transformation through technology, as we uncover the story behind a platform designed to educate various grades of surgeons on complex surgeries.
