In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, we sit down with Professor Mark Kendall, Founder &amp;amp; CEO of WearOptimo and one of the world\u2019s most visionary biomedical innovators. A former rocket scientist turned medtech pioneer, Mark has already transformed vaccine delivery with groundbreaking platforms like PowderJet and Vaxxas. Now, he\u2019s doing it again \u2014 this time with a revolutionary micro-wearable sensor designed to pull high-fidelity biosignals directly from the skin without painful needles or invasive hardware.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Mark explains how WearOptimo\u2019s sticker-like microneedle patch, built using cutting-edge manufacturing techniques that scale to tens of millions of units, is redefining what wearables can do. The first target? Hydration monitoring \u2014 solving a problem so widespread it quietly reduces life expectancy and affects elite athletes, surgical outcomes, and everyday health. From scalable manufacturing and AI-enabled biomarker intelligence, to building elite teams and navigating fundraising, Mark delivers powerful lessons on innovation, leadership, and building technologies that truly matter.&amp;nbsp; If you\u2019re passionate about the future of wearable medicine, platform technology, and designing solutions that actually reach the real world, this conversation is one you won\u2019t want to miss.
