See Tomorrow First | Simon Malpas, Founder & CEO of Kitea Health
Description
In this episode, we talked to Simon Malpas, founder and CEO of Kitea Health — a medtech start-up that’s created the world’s most accurate implantable sensor for heart failure and hydrocephalus. The device is roughly the size of a few grains of rice and is capable of remotely monitoring changes to pressure and sending real-time, accurate information straight to the healthcare professional and patient.
This wide-ranging conversation covered Simon’s background in research and start-ups, the size of the global opportunity for Kitea Health’s world-first tech, the long pathway to commercialisation for medical devices, and the key ingredients to building a successful medtech company from New Zealand (hint: he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata).
