I had the pleasure of speaking with Professor David Grayden — 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 at the University of Melbourne and 𝐂𝐨-𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 & 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐛.

We explored some truly important themes in the MedTech space:

🔹 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 in Australia

🔹 How the 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐇𝐮𝐛 is bridging the gap

🔹 The impact of the 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦

🔹 Why 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝-𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 matters

🔹 The rise of 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞

🔹 What drives MedTech startup success — and the common reasons for failure

🔹 Exciting news: the new 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

I genuinely appreciated David’s insights and his dedication to shaping the future of MedTech in Australia.

✨ 𝐇𝐮𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 and sharing so much valuable knowledge.

If you're interested in MedTech, innovation, AI in healthcare, or the journey from clinical need to commercialization — this conversation is packed with value.

🎥 Interview Dr. Felipe P. Carpes — Professor at UNIPAMPA (Brazil) and President of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB)

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Felipe P. Carpes — Professor at UNIPAMPA (Brazil) and President of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) — for an inspiring conversation about neuromechanics, mentorship in science, and how we can make biomechanics more accessible and impactful globally.

We covered:

• Why biomechanics matters in everyday movement and rehabilitation

• The role of mentorship and community in shaping the next generation

• The future of sports and Paralympic biomechanics

• Building global bridges between labs, countries, and cultures

A huge thank you to Dr. Felipe Carpes for his openness, clarity, and leadership — and to Professor Evangelos Pappas (RMIT) for bringing us together and supporting these international exchanges.

The full conversation will be released soon on our YouTube and website — stay tuned.

A/Prof. Kane Middleton (La Trobe University) joins PoseIQ™ to talk sport & occupational biomechanics—from validating wearables and markerless motion capture in elite environments to a cricket bowling workload project using a multi-instrument approach (instrumented insoles + IMUs + markerless MoCap).

We also dig into ACL injury risk a bit as an example, why implementation and education matter, the need for collaboration across sport science, engineering and coaching, and how to be data-informed (not just data-driven).

Comparing new tech with marker-based and markerless motion capture
Cricket Victoria project: quantifying bowling loads in context
Why prevention programs struggle with uptake; pairing performance + prevention
Commercialization gaps & funding realities in sport science
Collaboration: biomechanists + skill coaches + engineers + data scientists
Interpreting data into action: being data-informed vs data-driven

🚨 ACL Injuries: A Silent Public Health Crisis 🚨

In our latest PoseIQ™ Expert Chat, I spoke with Prof. Evangelos Pappas (RMIT) about why ACL injuries are more than “just sports injuries.”

👉 A ligament the size of your pinky can tear in a split second — changing an athlete’s health and future.

• Teens and young athletes are hit hardest, with females at higher risk.

• One ACL tear raises the chance of another up to 16x.

• Many end up with “30-year-olds who have 80-year-old knees.”

💡 The good news? Proven warm-up and neuromuscular programs can cut risk by half — yet most teams don’t use them.

Prof. Pappas was clear:
✔️ ACL injuries are a public health issue
✔️ We need coach adoption & prevention programs
✔️ Tech and biomechanics (like PoseIQ™) can help spot risk & support safer return-to-play

🙏 Huge thanks to Prof. Pappas for the insights. Time to treat ACL injuries as preventable and manageable, not just unlucky.
