From Hospital Innovation to Startup Success Great medtech ideas often begin in the hospital—where clinicians see firsthand what patients need. But turning those ideas into a thriving business? That’s where Merge | Medical Device Studio comes in. At Merge, we help hospitals and clinicians take those innovations from concept to reality: - First designs and prototypes to showcase the idea - Business plans that prepare your idea for licensing or funding - Team building to ensure you have the right talent to drive the project Whether you're working on a device that addresses an unmet clinical need or looking to spin out a new technology into a startup, we help you navigate the journey from concept to clinical use. 💡 Ready to take your innovation to the next level? Let’s talk.

When Does Innovation Truly Matter? Innovation is everywhere. It’s in the latest medical breakthroughs, in tech we didn’t imagine 10 years ago, and even in the way we approach everyday problems. But not all innovation truly matters. A new solution rolls out, promises revolutionary results, but it's either too costly, too complex, or too disconnected from the realities of daily workflows to be truly effective. We believe the best solutions should fit seamlessly into the systems we already have. They should improve outcomes without creating bottlenecks or unnecessary burdens. This perspective has shaped our work, particularly as we have explored how to scale disinfection in environments like hospitals and municipal facilities. Our goal has always been simple: Make innovation practical. The real question is: How do we focus on creating solutions that solve problems where they matter most? We'd love to hear from you—what’s an example of innovation in your field that has genuinely delivered meaningful, scalable change? #LeadershipInInnovation #PracticalSolutions #RealWorldImpact

Bringing a new medical technology or health tech innovation to market requires navigating countless complexities. From conception to commercialization, creating a transformative health tech solution demands expertise, perseverance, and strategic thinking. According to health tech veteran Dr. Jon Belsher, developing a minimum viable product (MVP) is one of the most critical steps for early-stage medtech and healthtech companies.

You cannot survive in healthtech industry until you learn it's one most crucial lesson– Be patient. In today's world, it's tempting to chase every new trend, hoping for a quick breakthrough. But real success isn’t built overnight. The health tech industry thrives on breakthroughs, but these take time. Here’s the deal: Patience + Innovation = Lasting Success The initial excitement can be overwhelming, but the reality soon sets in: implementation is slow, challenges arise, and results are not immediate. I learnt my lesson the hard way that this period can be frustrating, but it's essential to understand that rushing the process often leads to setbacks.

Gift (Not Likely) I’m not telling you anything new. Today is a special day. A day for thinking big. Have you already innovated today? Or maybe you’re still figuring out where to start. Let’s clear the air with this. No, don’t worry. This is good. The truth is, innovation rarely happens by chance. Many experts agree—it’s not a stroke of luck. So why do we romanticize it as if it were? Pay attention because this is about patterns and breakthroughs. What actually happens is that great innovations align with the right timing. When fresh ideas meet real-world needs, incredible things happen. It’s not magic; it’s momentum. And it works in science, in technology, in every industry. You don’t just wait for innovation—you prepare for it. You set the stage. That’s what we do. In 3DforScience, we’ve seen it firsthand: combining creativity with knowledge is how you push the limits. So, ready to make it happen? #DigitalHealth #MedComms #PharmaStorytelling

Your Vision is more important than the product when especially when starting out. Your Vision proves you have long term goals, which in return attracts those on a similar wavelength and inspires those who are not. You need a vision to be able to adapt to market shifts, and product cycles. You need a vision to fuel innovation. At the same time.....please do not be the guy with a vision and no product.....you have to start somewhere my friend!! #Medtech #HealthcareAI #SAMD #Contactlessvitalsigns #Healthanalytics

Innovation Needs an Ecosystem Incredible first day at the 11TEN Innovation Partners Innovation Summit. Deep learnings around patient engagement from Ryan Haumschild PharmD, MS, MBA, CPEL and the panel. My main takeaway is the importance of the ecosystem: the founders, the client organizations, the customers / patients, the capital, universities, and even the physical space. The barriers to innovation are legion. But the right ecosystem can reduce the friction points to a level that innovation thrives. Looking forward to day two. #realizinginnovation
