MedTech Talent, Surgical Robotics, and Robotic Bronchoscopy Innovation | Matt Penny
MedTech Unboxed: Presented by Chamfr
How do you prepare the next generation of medtech leaders while also building advanced robotic platforms for earlier lung cancer diagnosis? In this episode of MedTech Unboxed, Steve talks with Matt Penny about his work at NC State’s medtech innovation and entrepreneurship program and his experience in surgical robotics at Noah Medical.
Matt explains how the NC State and UNC biomedical engineering program helps students move from unmet clinical needs to prototypes, business models, regulatory strategy, quality systems, and commercialization. The conversation also highlights how hands-on partnerships with health systems help students solve real clinical problems, including pediatric patient anxiety and usability challenges in care settings.
They also dive into robotic bronchoscopy, the clinical challenge of navigating to small peripheral lung lesions, and how Noah Medical’s Galaxy System is designed to improve precision, workflow, and consistency in lung biopsy procedures. For medtech professionals in medical device innovation, surgical robotics, catheter systems, and entrepreneurship, this episode offers a practical look at both talent development and next-generation robotic technology.
