-Was veranlasst einen Mediziner dazu ein eigenes Startup zu gründen? -Mit welchen Hindernissen wird er konfrontiert? -Gibt es sie, die "goldene Businessformel?" Dieses uns mehr beantwortet heute Dr. med. Reto Kaul in der neuesten Podcastausgabe von THE VOICE OF MEDICINE.

In diesem Talk mit Felix Schneuwly, Vizepräsident bei Bündnis Freiheitliches Gesundheitswesen, werden kontroverse Gesundheitsthemen diskutiert, über die sonst niemand spricht. Offen, authentisch, polarisierend. Preisspirale Krankenkasse - wer sind die tatsächlichen Kostenträger? Klinikkrieg im Kanton Aargau - werden Interessen politisch gesteuert? Manipulation operativer Eingriffe - wo hört die moralisch-ethische Grenze auf? Host: Dr. med. Adel Abdel-Latif, MBA (CEO Radiolutions)

How does physical therapy help athletes like Ronda Rousey, George Saint-Pierre or Conor McGregor? Why is it important to involve physiotherapists in the training of athletes before a fight and after the fight as well? Heather is the Director of Physical Therapy Center of the UFC. The UFC managed to establish mix martial arts as a respected and highly valued sports discipline gaining popularity across the globe. It is only natural that they would set the standards of care regarding physical functionality for athletes in this sport. Heather explains how she transitioned from olympic athletes program to the UFC. The beginnings were not easy, as many athletes were not familiar with a physical therapist, yet her and her team managed to gain the trust they needed to increase the performance of the athletes. Heather shares her views on the "hot vs cold" controversy and clarifies how electro-stimulation can be used. In her opinion, a lot of doctors don't know enough about the level of professionalism in physical therapy and neglect to cooperate and communicate more with experts in this field, often with severe consequences. Guest: Heather Linden, Director of Physical Therapy, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Host: Michal Hulik, Psychologist

How quickly can the modern medicine detect bacteria? Why is the communication between bacterial colonies so important to understand? Fatima approached a bio-chemical phenomenon in her own way, her background as a physicist, her drive and perseverance made her discoveries worthwhile.  She developed a sensor that makes it possible to detect bacteria in any sample within 60 seconds, even in early stages, where other more commonly known methods would not show the results. This is a ground breaking thing for patients, who depend on the early recognition of infections, since their immune systems might be deficient. Find out more about her journey in the interview. Guest: Fatima AlZahra'a Alatraktchi, PhD in Molecular biology, Founder of PreDiagnose, Assistant Professor at Roskilde University Host: Michal Hulik, Psychologist

Do only professional athletes need a performance coach? Why is performing during practice so much easier than in the "moment of truth"? Is visualisation helpful indeed?  In this podcast Dr. Alan Goldberg explains how he structures his work with athletes, what he teaches them and where working on the surface doesn't help at all. His very vast experience with many kinds of athletes across different sports enabled him to develop a good sense of the essentials. What is the main difference between an athlete's best and his worst performance? A great question, that often needs quite a lot of digging to be answered. Dr. Goldberg stresses the importance of awareness and focus, both essential skills for performance improvement.    Guest: Dr. Alan Goldberg, performance couch and sports consultant  Check out his website!   https://www.competitivedge.com/ Host: Michal Hulik, psychologist

Why are only 10% of all nurses men? What is the so called "compassion fatigue"? Can we help nurses foster their innovative skills? Bonnie and I took a different road on this podcast. Instead of simply gazing on the marvels of nursing innovation, we have mudded through some topics together that could be considered as difficult. Bonnie explained me how the generational gap influences expectations especially in communication. I wanted to know if ageism poses a problem for nurses and if it is really such a great idea for nurses to become business owners. Bonnie certainly knows the nursing landscape in America inside out and we will see more of her and her colleagues in the future for sure.  Guest: Dr. Bonnie Clipper, DNP, MA, MBA, RN, CENP, FACHE, Chief Clinic Officer at Wambi Host: Michal Hulik, Psychologist

How much more transparency is required for medicine to truly help the patient? Are doctors afraid of losing their privileges?  Cait and I dive into the pros and cons of OpenNotes. Imagine that as a patient you could access the transcripts from all your clinically relevant moments with a physician or therapist freely and at any moment. It is possible that patients would engage much more with their health, not only prepare for next visit at the doctors office but also double check on their previous conversation with the clinical staff. In Cait's experience, working with over 200 health institutions in the US, OpenNotes brought a lot of benefits on both sides. Meanwhile, some people remain sceptical about sharing patient's notes, afraid of increasing the administrative efforts or dealing with obnoxious patients. Time and practice will show, if complete transparency is the right way, how to change patients' engagement with health services for the best.

Wie wird heute die Makuladegeneration behandelt? Warum sollten sich mehr Ärzte als Unternehmer versuchen? Diese und weitere Fragen werden in dem angenehmen Talk beantwortet.  Wirklich ein breites Themenfeld zeichnet diesmal das angenehme Gespräch mit Robert, der als Facharzt für Ophthalmologie eine Marktlücke entdeckt hat. Oder sollte man es lieber Verbesserungspotenzial nennen? Jedenfalls ist die Therapie der Makuladegeneration eine aufwendige Sache, da man alles sehr gründlich sterilisieren muss. Genau da setzte Robert mit seinem Team an und versuchte mittels 3-D Printing einen Prototyp herzustellen, arbeitete dabei auch mit Feedback von den Fachkollegen und Patienten.  Es ist nicht einfach ein Produkt herzustellen aber die danach folgenden Schritte der Massenproduktion, Vermarktung und Etablierung sind ja auch nicht ohne Tücken.  Es ist dennoch erfreulich zu sehen, wie junge passionierte Menschen die Medizin im Hintergrund vorantreiben. Gast: Dr. med. Robert Kromer, Facharzt für Opthalmologie, Gründungsmitglied Silent Healthcare Host: Michal Hulik, Psychologe
