Lobo and Pierce talk Wright, cool tech, robotics and the not-so-secret plans to keep Stryker growing

In this episode, we’ll do a deep dive with Stryker Corp., which recently hosted an in-person analyst day. In our first interview Andy Pierce, group president of MedSurg and Neurotechnology, will update us on his group’s wide-ranging portfolio, including an artificial intelligence-enabled tool to save the lives of patients at risk of dying of post-partem hemorrhaging. Kevin Lobo, chair and CEO, visits next to update on the company’s plans to keep building on its market leader status. We’ll talk about the Wright Medical integration, what makes a good acquisition, and how the rise of surgical robotics is helping Stryker build out its MAKO product. In between all this, co-costs Tom Salemi and Chris Newmarker review this week’s Newmarker’s Newsmakers including items from GE Healthcare, Best Buy, the FDA, DePuy Synthes and Boston Scientific. We also talk about pie.
