Long before medical technology was digital, miniaturized, or powered by AI, Medtronic co‑founder Earl Bakken sketched a 100‑year vision for the future of health tech. What seemed like science fiction at the time — implantable pacemakers, bladder stimulators, pill‑sized devices — is now standard care for millions of patients around the world. Decades later, that blueprint still guides how we innovate, even as new frontiers like robotics and artificial intelligence push it further than Bakken could have imagined. https://lnkd.in/gDNjwxkS
