Radiation therapy at the leading edge with Elekta CEO Richard Hausmann — Harlow On Healthcare

February 24, 2020

I caught up with Richard Hausmann, PhD, CEO of Stockholm-based linear accelerator manufacturer Elekta. And what did we learn? MRI guidance and AI are improving radiation therapy targeting accuracy, reducing doses and making radiation therapy available in a broader range of cases, thus improving patient outcomes. We have a long way to go, though: Globally, 90% of technologies are only available to 20% of patients who need them.

I spoke with Richard as part of my ongoing series of fireside chats with healthcare innovation leaders – Harlow on Healthcare, on HealthcareNOW Radio. Listen to our radio station online, or ask your smart speaker to play HealthcareNOW radio. You can catch me live weekdays at 8:30 am, 4:30 pm and 12:30 am ET. As each new show goes live, the last one joins the archive, available via SoundCloud or your favorite podcast app (including iTunes, Stitcher, iHeartRadio). Your comments are welcome here. Join the conversation on Twitter at #HarlowOnHC.
