Smart Bladder Monitoring with Stephen Kalinsky of Augment Health
During this episode we learn how two Georgia Tech graduates came together to form Augment Health and settled on creating a smart bladder monitor for neurological conditions. There are 7 million people who have lost feeling and function of their bladder due to a chronic neurological condition.
As two young entrepreneurs, Stephen Kalinsky shares how he and his fellow co-founder took on a number of challenges, pivoted into their innovation, and kept a steadfast mindset to understand the clinician and patient needs they are addressing.
It is this patient experience driven approach that has seen Augment making great strides to develop a solution that truly makes a difference for the patient and their care team. Stephen discusses how by immersing in the medtech ecosystem and joining a number of leading programs, they have been able to leverage the full support of the innovation community towards their goals.
Recorded in mid-March 2023, this episode is a reminder that the principles of being great founders are timeless and can be applied at any age. Tune in so you can be informed and inspired!
