Chipiron’s big idea: rethinking MRI access, not replacing old machines | Equity Podcast

Medical device funding is hitting levels we haven't seen since 2021, with investors pouring billions into diagnostics and imaging companies. But while innovation has raced ahead, a fundamental problem still hasn't changed: critical medical hardware like MRI machines cost millions of dollars and is gatekept by large hospitals. So how do you take one of the most expensive, hospital-bound technologies and make it available anywhere?

Evan Kervella, founder and CEO of Paris-based startup Chipiron, joined Equity to walk us through the problem and his vision for solving it.
