Carla Goulart Peron

This year's theme is Designing for Reality: Building MedTech That Works Across Systems, Not Just in Ideal Conditions.

Now in its seventh installment, the Women in MedTech Breakfast has become a cornerstone of the DeviceTalks experience. On May 28, the tradition continues with a fireside chat with Carla Goulart Peron, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Royal Philips, where we will discuss the importance of designing medical devices for the full spectrum of real-world conditions from the outset, ensuring innovations are accessible, scalable, and effective across all economic environments, not just ideal settings.

The program continues with curated small-group breakout discussions led by senior leaders from Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, and more.

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Yet stroke is largely preventable, treatable and recoverable. Today’s advanced technologies support faster diagnosis, targeted treatment and effective aftercare. With the support of AI and telehealth, expert care can now reach remote communities where local resources are limited.

Despite these innovations, access to timely stroke care remains limited worldwide. Every minute counts. Every minute between stroke onset and treatment can result in the loss of around 1.9 million brain cells. For stroke, time truly is brain.

In this panel discussion, Philips Chief Medical Officer Dr. Carla Goulart Peron and other stroke care leaders will share where efforts are being focused across the stroke pathway to help more people receive the care they need, when it matters most.
