Tech Knowledge Episode 1 - Inception

Meet Lorena, a “newbie” at Abbott who is thrilled to be part of the Abbott crew that runs 99,000 deep. You would be too if you’d worked as hard to reach a goal as she has. Now that she’s here, she’s on a mission to showcase this groundbreaking company … all while being awesome at her day job as a product expert in therapeutic nutrition. As part of her introduction to All Things Abbott, she’ll hear details about our life-changing tech straight from the experts involved in bringing them to be. Join her as she explores our health breakthroughs that are helping people live their best lives, every day. This is Tech Knowledge, an online video series about Abbott innovations. Settle in. It’s going to be a fun ride.

If you know where you’ve been, you can help shape what’s to come. Here Lorena takes a step back in time! For generations, Abbott has been at the forefront of health innovations. It all started when Dr. Wallace C. Abbott, an experienced physician, first produced accurately dosed and scientifically formulated medications in his drugstore, as Karmin (an Abbott seasoned pro) explains. The good doctor’s rigorous medical study, innovative methods and a “Do it now” work ethic are very recognizable today around his namesake company. Thanks for setting the example, doc.
We like to say Abbott has the staying power you can depend on with the hunger to make new ideas into realities. But it’s not just some hype. Really. Check out these exemplary examples:

• For people living with diabetes, our FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring system eliminates routine fingersticks for glucose management. That’s big.

• Our iOS-compatible neurostimulation device, a world first, helps ease the toughest cases of chronic pain.

• Our i-STAT portable blood analyzer, a point-of-care diagnostics tool, provides quick, accurate results for anyone who needs fast information, from hospital patients to marathon runners.

We will never stop innovating to create a smarter, healthier world. We’re honoring our past by delivering the future. That’s the journey. Join Lorena for hers.

If only he could jump ahead and see what he started. It would blow his mind.

I had two DBS Surgeries and they helped a little but not like that other lady’s! I had mine in 2010, and there’s days that I can hardly function! I wish there was something else that could be done for me! 😪
