TECH YOUR HEALTH

In a world of endless variety and constant change, the intersection of technology and medicine is one that is as fascinating as it is vital to each and every person on this earth. Join our host Nils as he explores this rapidly evolving world, not with doctors and scientists, but with ordinary people that happen to have very curious minds. “TECH YOUR HEALTH” is a podcast by a group of students at Hyper Island that aims to unravel and discuss a variety of topics related to medical technology, in a format you don’t need a degree to understand.
