Ty highlights their Med Design Training, which emphasizes understanding clinical needs as the “North Star” for any medical device company. He also shares a success story of Couplet Care, an infant bassinet designed for postpartum mothers, and offers insights on market validation, FDA clearance, and practical business tips for medical innovators.
