  • Changing the Clinical Value Equation in Orthopedic Care with Nic Aldrich, Vice President of Marketing at OrthAlign

    Changing the Clinical Value Equation in Orthopedic Care with Nic Aldrich, Vice President of Marketing at OrthAlign
    Jun 25 2026
    Orthopedic procedures are increasingly moving to ambulatory surgery centers, but many navigation technologies remain too expensive, complex, or inefficient for that setting. In this episode, Nic Aldrich, Vice President of Marketing at OrthAlign, discusses how handheld navigation technology is making precision orthopedic care more accessible. He explains how OrthAlign helps surgeons reduce variability, execute patient-specific plans, and bring advanced technology into total hip, knee, partial knee, and revision procedures. Nic also shares how the newly cleared Lantern ASC system was designed specifically for surgery centers, balancing accuracy with cost, speed, and ease of use. Tune in to learn how smaller, more efficient technologies are helping expand access to precision orthopedic care. Resources: Connect with and follow Nic Aldrich on LinkedIn.

  • Using AI to Strengthen Clinical Confidence in Procedures with Will Mauldin, Co-Founder and CEO of Rivanna Medical

    Using AI to Strengthen Clinical Confidence in Procedures with Will Mauldin, Co-Founder and CEO of Rivanna Medical
    Jun 23 2026
    AI in medtech is most valuable when it supports better clinical decisions, not when it replaces clinicians. In this episode, Alexis Anderson speaks with Will Mauldin, Co-Founder and CEO of Rivanna Medical, live from DeviceTalks Boston. Will explains how Rivanna is bringing AI-enabled imaging to clinical settings where providers have traditionally relied on blind or manual procedures, beginning with epidural anesthesia guidance and expanding into fracture detection. He shares how the company’s handheld spine guidance technology helps clinicians visualize the epidural space, use AI as a confirmation tool, and build confidence through consistent outcomes. Will also discusses broader medtech trends around AI, automation, connected devices, and robotics, along with funding challenges for mid-stage companies and Rivanna’s upcoming FDA milestones. Tune in and learn how AI-enabled imaging can improve safety, reduce bottlenecks, and support clinicians in high-demand care environments. Resources Connect and follow Will Mauldin on LinkedIn.

  • From Blind Biopsies to Precision: Reinventing Medical Imaging with Reza Khorasaninejad, Founder & CEO at LEADOPTIK

    From Blind Biopsies to Precision: Reinventing Medical Imaging with Reza Khorasaninejad, Founder & CEO at LEADOPTIK
    Jun 22 2026
    Lung cancer biopsies are still being done blind more often than you’d think, leading to costly diagnostic errors. In this episode, Reza Khorasaninejad, Founder & CEO at LEADOPTIK, discusses how advances in photonics and metasurface engineering are enabling highly miniaturized imaging systems for minimally invasive procedures. These innovations aim to address a major challenge in lung cancer biopsies: a lack of imaging guidance that can lead to significant diagnostic errors. Early clinical pilots across multiple sites are demonstrating strong performance, with one hospital already converting into a paying customer. Looking ahead, the company is partnering with Stanford Medicine to develop AI-driven decision support tools to further improve diagnostic accuracy. Tune in to learn how next-generation imaging and AI are changing that reality and helping physicians hit the right target the first time!
