Conversations with Medtech Pioneers: MedTech Innovator’s 2020 Grand Prize Winner, Rhaeos

The largest global medtech-only accelerator, Medtech Innovator had over 1,000 applicants in 2020 and CEO, Paul Grand, and his team successfully pivoted in March 2020 to a virtual competition due to COVID. At Advamed’s Medtech Conference, the top 5 finalists pitched with the Grand Prize awarded to Rhaeos CEO, Anna Lisa Somera. Rhaeos has a novel wireless, wearable sensor for the monitoring of shunts in patients with Hydrocephalus. Ximedica is a proud sponsor of Medtech Innovator and mentors and advises many of the accelerator companies. I connected with Anna Lisa to get her perspective on the Medtech Innovator journey in 2020 and to see what lies ahead for award-winning Rhaeos team.
