## Resource

What happens when rocket-science precision meets frontline healthcare? In this episode of Med Tech Gurus , we sit down with Professor Mark Kendall, Founder & CEO of WearOptimo and one of the world's most visionary biomedical innovators. A former rocket scientist turned medtech pioneer, Mark has already transformed vaccine delivery with groundbreaking platforms like PowderJet and Vaxxas. Now, he's doing it again — this time with a revolutionary micro-wearable sensor designed to pull high-fidelity biosignals directly from the skin without painful needles or invasive hardware. Mark explains how WearOptimo's sticker-like microneedle patch, built using cutting-edge manufacturing techniques that scale to tens of millions of units, is redefining what wearables can do. The first target? Hydration monitoring — solving a problem so widespread it quietly reduces life expectancy and affects elite athletes, surgical outcomes, and everyday health. From scalable manufacturing and AI-enabled biomarker intelligence, to building elite teams and navigating fundraising, Mark delivers powerful lessons on innovation, leadership, and building technologies that truly matter. If you're passionate about the future of wearable medicine, platform technology, and designing solutions that actually reach the real world, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
