In this episode of Ortho Innovation Talks, Nitin Goyal, MD, chief science, technology and innovation officer at Zimmer Biomet (ZB) shares his journey from the OR to the medtech industry. Dr. Goyal oversees ZB’s global innovation, medical education, clinical affairs, and reimbursement strategy. He tells host Tom Salemi about his passion for building solutions to address clinical challenges and improve the surgical experience.

Goyal describes how his pursuit of “making an outsized impact” on orthopedic care brought him to ZB, where he leads the global innovation, medical education, and clinical affairs functions. In this talk, he’ll discuss how ZB incorporates smart implants that track and report mobility data, to big data analytics that guide clinical decision-making throughout the episode of care.
