Bill Betten has developed medical devices for decades, but he gained a deeper understanding after hearing a doctor speak the words "brain" and "tumor."
"It's a little different when it's going to be done to you," Betten recalled today during Medical Design & Outsourcing's latest podcast. (Hear more from Betten as editor Chris Newmarker interviews him at DeviceTalks Minnesota, Sept. 9–10 in Minneapolis.

Betten's tumor, fortunately, was a benign meningioma, and he's presently four and a half months into a successful recovery from surgery. Now that he's past the health emergency, there are insights about medical devices that he once knew that he now feels to his core.

At-home digital health: Here's what you need to know
Demand is increasing for at-home digital health systems, where sensors follow people's health data and automatically turn them into real-time insights for themselves and their health providers.
From ResMed and its connected CPAP technology to Clarify Medical getting user feedback for its light therapy system for skin conditions, medical device companies have started to score successes in at-home digital health, according to Scott Thielman, CTO of Product Creation Studio (Seattle).
"We really need to focus on cultivating user experience — a great user experience that will be sticky, that will overcome the downsides of having to live with whatever this technology is in their lives. There's design work there to be done that we really need to lean in to and focus on to keep these innovations successful," Thielman said during Medical Design & Outsourcing's latest podcast.
