Interview with Kermit CEO Richard Palarea

Patients get scared when they find out they find out they need an implantable medical device like a pacemaker. That’s understandable, considering the risks of surgery and what it says about their health.

But did you know that hospitals get scared too? Implanted devices are pricey and this spend category is notoriously difficult to manage. In an era of super tight hospital finances, implantable devices could mean the difference between life and death for the hospital, too.
