What initially attracted you to the medtech industry? How has your perspective on the industry evolved over the course of your career?
Being in an industry with a lot of speed on engineering advances, is a great market to develop creativity skills with a purpose that is beneficial for the society. As the industry expands, technology evolves, and companies diversify their portfolios, this industry is the perfect environment for a challenge seeker personality.
Ser una industria con una gran velocidad en avances tecnológicos, un gran mercado para desarrollar habilidades creativas con un propósito benéfico para la sociedad. De la misma forma que esta industria crece, la tecnología evoluciona por lo que la diversificación de portafolio en este mercado es el ambiente perfecto para un buscador de grandes retos.
As a seasoned professional in the industry, how do you envision the future of medtech? What emerging technologies or trends do you believe will have the most significant impact?
Process technologies will imply cleaner and shorter processes, those where our materials will require less temporary additions to them, this will result in better products with less chemical interactions, higher engineering challenges and continued research. Energy technology will lead the material transformation processes.
La tecnología en un futuro implicara procesos más rápidos y limpios, esos en los que nuestros materiales necesitarán menos aditivos temporales, esto tendrá como resultado mejores productos con menos exposiciones a químicos nocivos, retos ingenieriles y tecnológicos, así como investigaciones más complejas.
From your experience, what are some of the key challenges that medtech engineers are likely to face in the coming years? How can professionals in the industry prepare for and navigate these challenges effectively?
Continued self development is key in this industry, we should keep up with medical innovations accordingly, we as engineers should be aware of the growth in medical advances as well as applications that will result in technology innovations as well.
La educación continua es clave en esta industria, nosotros como ingenieros debemos mantenernos al día con innovaciones, avances y aplicaciones médicas que por ende resultarán en innovaciones tecnológicas.
As technology continues to advance rapidly, how do you think medtech engineers can stay ahead of the curve and ensure they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge?
Expand the value of our own network and diversify the professional’s profile in a working environment, with more expert level talking points/discussions, more hypothesis we’ll be ready to test or demonstrate, so learning will not only come from tech papers but from own research too.
Es importante enriquecer el valor y diversidad de nuestra red de profesionales en un ambiente laboral, entre mas discusiones con alto grado de preparación se generan, más oportunidades de demostrar hipótesis tenemos; estudio de artículos científicos no es el único camino de aprendizaje en este campo, investigación en casa también es una gran herramienta.
From a broader perspective, how do you see the role of medtech engineering in shaping the future of healthcare? What impact do you anticipate it will have on patient care and outcomes?
We have a key role in this huge team involved in healthcare, even though we don’t see patients face to face, we know in every single product we collaborate to produce or develop there is one person’s quality of life, therefore conscious engineering will evolve with technology.
Tenemos un rol clave en este gran equipo enfocado en el cuidado de la salud, aun que como ingenieros no tratamos de forma directa con pacientes, tenemos conciencia de que cada colaboración o desarrollo tiene el nombre de una persona y favorece su calidad de vida, por lo que la ingeniería consciente avanza a la misma velocidad que la tecnología.
Considering the increasing importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, how do you think medtech engineers can effectively collaborate with professionals from other fields, such as medicine and computer science, to drive innovation inthe industry?
Every engineer is a world of improvement ideas, by collaborating with diverse backgrounds, teams will be more equipped to introduce and develop new technologies, multi-disciplinary intelligence is the greatest.
Cada ingeniero es un mundo de ideas de mejora, en equipos de trabajo con alta diversidad estamos mejor equipados para introducir y desarrollar nuevas tecnologías, soy firme creyente de que la inteligencia multidisciplinaria es la mas grande.
How do you think diversity and inclusion can contribute to the advancement of medtech engineering? How do you foster a culture of innovation within your team or organization?
As today we have the means to create and not only to implement, as technology advance so quickly we all have the opportunity to innovate by challenging the status quo, current processes are created to be continuously improved, the world is getting smaller so we need approaches with different perspective to expand the opportunities to innovation.
Hoy en día, tenemos los medios para crear y no solo para implementar, con la tecnología avanzando a gran velocidad, todos tenemos la oportunidad de innovar y retar el estatus quo; la actualidad esta creada para ser mejorada continuamente y ya que el mundo cada vez es más pequeño necesitamos abordar innovaciones con perspectivas diversas para expandir nuestras oportunidades de cambio.
