Martin Burns, CEO of Bruin Biometrics is a former management consultant who worked with Deloitte and PwC and has also served as a guest lecturer at UCLA Anderson School of Management, where he taught entrepreneurship in biotechnology

At Bruin, Martin is leading the charge to bring pressure injury (bedsore) prevention into the 21st century. Bedsores are entirely preventable yet remain one of the most under-discussed threats in hospitals today, especially among patients with darker skin tones who are often overlooked by traditional visual assessments

In this episode, Martin explains why a biology-first approach is needed to tackle these “silent killers,” the major cultural and systemic hurdles to adoption, and why he believes sensor technology should become as routine as checking blood oxygen levels. We also explore investor skepticism, the importance of diverse clinical validation and the operational realities of implementing new technologies in hospitals without disrupting workflows
