Mariel Fabro brings a startup specialist’s mindset to first-generation medtech innovation, contributing to catheter-based heart failure therapies, magnetically guided surgical systems and remote monitoring platforms. Explore how her product leadership centers on human needs while advancing next-generation technologies.
What Are Your Proudest Life Science Achievements?
As a start-up specialist, I’ve been fortunate to contribute to first-generation products, including pioneering catheter-based technologies for heart failure and left ventricular repair, a magnetically-guided surgical system and a wearable remote patient monitoring platform.
What Are Your Day-to-Day Job Highlights?
As a product leader, my day-to-day highlights are focused on people. Ultimately, products are intended to be usable for people trying to accomplish their own daily tasks, aiming to increase efficiencies or provide critical insights. Working with these people and having a deep understanding of their work enriches my own day-to-day approach to product innovation.
What Are Your Favorite Life Science Innovations?
My favorite life science innovations include neuromodulation, wearable ultrasound, gut-brain connection and immunotherapies.
What Is Your Vision for the Future of the Industry?
Medtech and life sciences are due for a closed-loop convergence, enabled by data processing technologies available today to harness the insights from multi-modal data and use that as feedback into therapeutic mechanisms. Biological systems are inherently interconnected and co-dependent, and the ability to process the underlying biomedical signals/data in near real-time to guide the therapeutic technology is the next frontier of the industry.
