Welcome back to Health Unlocked, where we dive deep into the real-world challenges and breakthroughs in health innovation. In today’s episode, we’re joined once again by Jasen Petersen, who tackles some of the unanswered questions from previous conversations, this time pulling back the curtain on what “terrain support” actually means for patients and practitioners. We explore how the regulatory landscape shapes which claims can be made about cutting-edge products like Ion Gel, and why certain benefits remain unsaid even when the evidence is compelling. Jasen takes us through the complex process of classifying medical devices, what it means for safety and accessibility, and the strategic thinking behind spinning off development companies to advance multiple health solutions without sacrificing focus or effectiveness. Plus, we get a glimpse into how the future of funding and innovation might look, where collaboration thrives and skepticism, even from the scientific community, drives progress. Stick around for a candid, thoughtful conversation on the intersections of science, regulation, and building something truly new in health care.
