After observing numerous brain surgeries, Kate Rosenbluth asked a question to a group of neurosurgeons. When their response was, I can't believe we didn't think of that, she knew that she was onto something. Her device, the Cala Trio, is a new, non-invasive option for essential tremor. Until now, the only other options were prescription medicine or brain surgery. Follow us on Kate's journey along with CEO of Cala Health, Renee Ryan, who immediately understood Kate's vision and pushed her to start the company shortly after delivering her second child. Electricity as medicine is not a new concept but the places that Cala Health is taking it is radically new -- and quite stimulating! (sorry).

Lab Before Slab is the mini-pod companion to the Before We Die Podcast. These are the conversations that happen around our virtual production table when we should be doing other things. But often, these seemingly random conversations lead to interesting thoughts and topics and we wished that we recorded them. One day we did and thus, the Lab Before Slab mini-pod emerged. Join us as Sandy Miller, John MacMahon, Craig Ullman and Joey Brenneman geek out about happenings in the med-tech world. You never know where the Lab Before Slab conversation is gonna go! Often fascinating, always a little bit quirky, Lab before Slab is a bite-sized episode that drops between the full length Before We Die interviews.

Scientists at Baylor and Stanford are researching a simple protein that may be able to reduce your caloric intake. John objects and blames the patients. The other hosts are the patients and object to John. Sandy plays the electric bike card. Craig accuses John of having a romantic notion of neurochemistry, which leads, of course, to bears.

As a professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, Dr. Paul Yock wanted to find a way pay it forward. Stanford BioDesign is the result of that vision. Along with our very own Sandra Miller, they created a program that brought together problem solvers from different fields and taught them how to form cross-discipline teams identifying and solving patients' needs. The program's inception tapped into the substantial resources of Stanford and the Silicon Valley medTech community to support emerging med-tech innovators. Entering its third decade, the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign, as it is now known, has generated medical technologies and inspired similar training programs in over 17 countries. The question that drove the biodesign program was, "Can innovation be taught?" And the answer is a resounding YES! The center has reached over 7.6 million patients (and counting) with technologies initiated by trainees in the program. Email us at beforewedie@offscrip.com or call us at 855-283-4666.
