BOSTON – The innovators who presented their novel technologies to a “shark tank” panel during the 2017 AGA Tech Summit sponsored by the AGA Center for GI Innovation and Technology proved that innovation is alive and well in the field of gastroenterology.

“Shark Tank this year was fabulous,” Dr. Michael L. Kochman, MD, AGAF, executive committee chair of the AGA Center for GI Innovation and Technology, said in a video interview. “It was great to see some really novel ideas and some great, innovative applications.”

Presenters received feedback on their proposals from representatives of the physician, medtech, and regulatory communities and were uniformly positive about the experience, citing the value of such information to decide whether or how to move their projects forward.

“Diving into meet with the “sharks” was “a great opportunity,” says Susan Hutfless, PhD., an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore. “I’m still swimming, still alive ... I would do it again.”
