#MedTechMonday Podcast Recap for April. Miss an Episode? Check them out here.
The heart and soul of the 21st century economy is innovation. Rhode Island is now home to over a half dozen innovation centers. The Rhode Pod acts as the nexus for getting the word out locally and globally. This communication will help our innovation centers to find partners, investors, clients and customers, enabling the elevation of these innovators to sustainable businesses here in the Ocean State.
Can you believe how fast April went by? As the NEMIC staff continue to work from home due to the status of COVID-19, we still strive on delivering you insightful episodes on a variety of topics. We had our own Tom Chiginsky deliver an episode co-hosted with Amazon’s Alexa! Plus we looked at COVID-19’s impact on the workplace and HR.
Since mid-March, NEMIC staff began working from home to curb the spread of COVID-19. So you will notice the audio quality of our most recent episodes are not the usual quality we strive to publish. With no access to our podcast studio, we wanted to still deliver our listeners weekly content and episodes. Our solution was to record remotely. Please take this information into consideration, as you listen to any episodes published during the quarantine.
