According to EY, the average lifespan of an S&P 500 company is 15 years.💡 80 years ago, it was 67 years. This knowledge makes the 75th anniversary of Medtronic that much more incredible, but definitely not surprising. EY goes on to say many of the longest-lasting companies share an ability to effectively anticipate, prepare, respond and adapt to change, whether through product evolution, diversification or acquisition. What I'd argue successful companies also need is a Mission that can withstand the test of time and remain a litmus test for the proposed changes. That has been the not-so-secret sauce for Medtronic. Take Medtronic Pelvic Health, which wasn't part of Medtronic when the company was founded, yet has helped improve lives for the past 25 years! It can be easy to get stuck in the day-to-day grind of work, but watching our executive committee ring the NYSE opening bell was a humbling reminder of how important our work is and how far Medtronic has come, from the Garage Gang to the global leader in healthcare technology - driven to alleviate pain, restore health and extend life.

TTVR is coming really fast. Learn how to perform it with new forthcoming devices

Vibrating handheld tools are indeed a huge problem, causing vibration induced neuropathy which often are irreversible. Avonova is in the frontline using our Hand Arm Vibration Screening instrument to detect early impairments before it has become permanent. This is the only way to prevent such progress, i.e. early detection followed by preventive measures.

Thanks to the support of the Credit Agricole Italy, the institute, already using IVS3, will be able to work on lower limb with stroke patients and other diseases to improve balance and gait. 📺 https://lnkd.in/dHFXKwah Dr Franco Molteni is convinced IVS can help improve and accelerate patients recovery: “the problem is not the repetition of movement, but the ability to plan what to do. It’s not a problem of muscle power, it’s a problem of control of the body.” 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗩𝗦 𝗮 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆? 🔹 Intense immersion to reintegrate a healthy functional limb 🔹 Based on a high level of clinical evidence on VST approaches and as Mirror Therapy, Action Observation or Mental Imagery 🔹 Accessible to flaccid patients and cognitive disorders 🔹 Can be used early start of therapy, 🔹 “Enhanced assistant” offers diversified exercises 🔹 Few exclusion criteria 🔹 Ultra-easy to handle: 30 sec. to start a session 🔹 Can be combined with conventional approach and robotic devices Want to know more about Intensive Visual Simulation?

Dr. Dekel Stavi, MD, our Medical Director at Inspira Technologies, Head of the ECMO Service at Tel Aviv Medical Center (Ichilov), and Chairman of the Israeli ECMO Society, emphasized the life-saving potential of ECPR (Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) in an article featured in #Atmosphera, the inflight magazine of EL AL Israel Airlines: "For years, there was no significant improvement in survival rates for cardiac arrest patients. It’s frustrating to perform prolonged resuscitation only to later declare death or witness severe brain damage. ECPR opens a window of opportunity to change that."   Inspira Technologies is set to revolutionize life support for millons of respiratory and cardiac arrest patients each year. We are proud to have Dr. Stavi leading us as we work to push the boundaries of medical technology.

I took in my final Boston Red Sox game of 2024 last year on Saturday - a lackluster effort capping off a disappointing season in a series of depressing seasons. Despite all that 👎 , Fenway Park is THE stage for companies and industries looking to build their brand in Boston. Look at the Aura level seating - a cool ring, but not a #medicaldevice - or even the huge WHOOPS sign sitting directly under the iconic CITGO sign (I had to look it up, Fitness tech?) (Late add: Speaking of whoops - Aura is not Oura!) So where is #medtech? It's represented in the past.... ⚾ A decade ago COVIDIEN was plastered across the Green Monster. ⚾ A few years ago Boston Scientific had a prominent sign in deep center field. ⚾ Today, this Abiomed sign is all that's left representing the #medicaldevice industry. A great device and company, no QUESTION, but it's not even locally owned any longer. So what's up #Medtech? Should we have a higher profile at baseball's best ballpark. Could Insulet Corporation affix a massive image of an Omnipod on the Green Monster. Perhaps Medtronic wants to continue to highlight it's growing #surgicalrobotics presence in the Seaport? Might Boston Scientific make a return? DePuy Synthes? Hologic, Inc.? Olympus Corporation of the Americas? I'm open to suggestions, but give me something else to root for at Fenway Park!
