About Vikram Ramakanth
As an R&D leader, I provide best-fit solutions for complex healthcare problems by directing the development of medical devices and technologies. I do so by drawing on 15+ years of R&D engineering, clinical research, program management, and team leadership experience.I believe my clinical research background puts me in a unique position to develop engineering solutions that meet market and patient needs. For instance, at Masimo Corporation, I facilitated medical product development by strategizing and executing 40-50 clinical studies every year. This involved building strategic research partnerships for niche trials, overseeing study operations, ensuring regulatory compliance, and generating critical data insights for R&D engineers. Throughout my career, I have optimized medical devices and technologies. For example, I increased the reliability of the Rainbow non-invasive monitoring pulse-oximeter platform by improving its sensors and algorithm implementations. As a result, I improved performance, manufacturability and product revenue.One key to my success is improving operational efficiency by implementing robust technology solutions. Most recently, at Masimo Corporation, I digitized the data gathering process by implementing a cloud solution after onboarding a best-fit vendor and training research teams. As a result, I cut down work hours and enabled real-time and comprehensive monitoring of clinical study sites.
