In this episode I chat with Dr. Bryon Bhagwandin, Co-Founder and CEO of Recalibrate Solutions (https://www.recalibratesolutions.com/), about his journey from a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, through medical product development roles, executive roles in start-ups, to co-founder of Recalibrate Solutions, who are empowering physicians to eliminate toxic stress from the lives of children by monitoring stress system development with a 5-minute, disposable, saliva cortisol test.

We hear from Dr. Bhagwandin about the serious effects of toxic stress in children and his ambition to combat this problem, along with his thoughts around investment in MedTech businesses and the role that intellectual property plays, in particular the importance of having an IP strategy that goes beyond filing patents.

Dr. Bhagwandin has served as an executive for multiple start-up companies.  He has spent more than 20 years in medical product development, and possesses a remarkable combination of technical expertise, leadership, and business acumen. He has been awarded two degrees in physics and a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering. Dr. Bhagwandin has led multiple product development teams, successfully creating diagnostic, therapeutic, and drug-device combination products. Dr. Bhagwandin understands the unique business challenges that must be navigated by medical device companies – design-controls, quality-system compliance, internal review boards, clinical testing, regulatory submissions, insurance codes, reimbursement models, hospital purchasing-cycles, and marketing through scientific research and peer review publications – a truly unique space..
