In the ever-evolving and rapidly changing healthcare space, innovations in technology are often the primary focus of breakthroughs in achieving optimal outcomes, and while deep tech will continue to play an increasingly important role in achieving efficiencies alongside improved outcomes, it’s also important to highlight the hands-on innovations that are crafted by clinicians through their many years of experience and creative energies propelled by a desire to transform lives. In theory, technologists are using deep tech like AI to replicate human behavior with the promised upside of allowing people to perform more complex and higher-value tasks, which ultimately leads to expanding the innovation curve.

In today’s episode of The TechLink Health Podcast, we discuss this process of innovation as it relates to breakthroughs in surgical procedures, particularly focused on nasal abnormalities and the connection to migraines.

This particular breakthrough is told through the story of Dr. Kevin Smith, an ENT / Facial Plastic surgeon and the creator of The Smith Sinus Migraine Technique, a revolutionary surgical procedure designed to eliminate migraines of all types by normalizing the nose. At the heart of the groundbreaking procedure is targeting the root cause of migraines – specific nasal abnormalities. Through meticulous evaluation and treatment, Dr. Smith has achieved an impressive success rate, with over 4,000 procedures performed and a remarkable 90% of patients experiencing complete or significant relief. Additionally, his research and case reports have shed light on the profound impact of nasal surgery not only on migraines but a potential connection between migraines and neurological symptoms and disorders like MS, Parkinson’s and Asperger’s.

Listen in with us as we journey through a refreshing story of how curiosity, empathy, and crafted expertise can lead to innovative breakthroughs in healthcare. Other insights range from how corporations can recoup lost revenue from migraines that cause absenteeism and lost productivity, to ways consumers can be more proactive in becoming their own health advocates, to how nasal screening can help to enhance performance for professional athletes. It has been shown that optimal nasal breathing can increase endurance time to fatigue by 50%! What impact could optimal nasal breathing have for the upcoming Olympic Athletes in Paris?
