David Bell on Wild Hearts

Have you been hoping for a podcast that connects The Magic School Bus with AI-powered endovascular intervention? Your wait is over.

Remedy Robotics CEO and Co-Founder David Bell sits down with Kate Glazebrook on Blackbird's Wild Hearts to talk about where Remedy came from, where it's headed, and what Lily Tomlin can teach us all about navigating catheters.

David also makes the case against building surgical robots in our own image. Why would you design a system around a creature with two hands, one of which it prefers? Its eyes are mechanically yoked, so it can look at only one thing at a time, and it can track about four things before committing to one.

Remedy is building the alternative: a system designed for the job rather than one that mimics whoever currently does it, so it can do what hands can't and reach places specialists can't.
