GI innovation is not just about new tools. It is about making better care easier to access, safer to deliver, and more patient-centered.
In this episode, Dr. Austin Chiang, Chief Medical Officer of Endoscopy at Medtronic, and Dr. Nate Merriman, Medical Director of GI and Digestive Health for the Canyons and Desert Regions at Intermountain Health, talk about the future of digestive health innovation from both the medtech and health system perspectives. They discuss how digital tools like GI Genius and PillCam Genius are reshaping endoscopy, improving clinical quality, and creating new opportunities to expand access to care. Dr. Merriman shares how health systems can evaluate innovation through small pilots, fast learning, and thoughtful scaling, especially for rural and underserved communities. The conversation also explores food as medicine, patient literacy, social media’s role in health education, and why patient and clinician voices must guide the design of new technologies.
Tune in to hear how GI leaders are bringing together technology, strategy, and human-centered care to improve digestive health and reduce avoidable suffering.
