IG Live Interview: Design for Healthcare with 3DPrinting with Robert Pugliese

The Lattice (Official 3DHEALS Podcast)

In this fun, Instagram live we interviewed Robert Pugliese, who is the Director of Innovation Design at Thomas Jefferson University, and Jefferson Health where he co-founded the Health Design Lab, a creative space built with the purpose of merging together design-studio ethos with science-oriented discipline to foster innovation in healthcare. As usual, we started our conversation with his early career, the path to founding Health Design Lab, and how 3D printing played a role in all that. Robert's 3D printing lab does not have fancy 3D printers, and he is a firm believer that having excellent design holds the key to solutions and 3D printing is a great tool to achieve that design. We were also fortunate to have a brief virtual tour of Robert's lab and talked about a few super cool clinical cases Robert is working on at the moment.
