With expertise spanning chemical engineering, materials science, synthetic biology, and global R&D, John and Kevin show how truly breakthrough wearables demand far more than clever sensors. They require world-class adhesives, smart overlays, skin-friendly materials, and device designs that survive real life—not just the lab. They explain why longer wear time is becoming one of the biggest drivers of clinical success, how thin-film overlays can quadruple device survivability, and why understanding patient behavior is just as important as engineering excellence. From global scale to skin biomechanics, this episode delivers a powerful look at what it really takes to build wearables that stay on, stay comfortable, and stay effective. If you're building the next generation of chronic disease tools, diagnostics, or connected care devices — this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss.","meta_description":"In this episode of Med Tech Gurus , we're joined by John Dugas and Dr. Kevin Schwarz of Solventum Medical—two leaders pushing wearable innovation into its…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3091,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/med-tech-gurus-783906/episodes/engineering-the-future-of-wearables/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/med-tech-gurus-783906/engineering-the-future-of-wearables.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
