The Hinckley Medical Story with Founder/CEO Tristian Hazlett
November 24th, 2025 | Season 2 | 42 mins 2 secs
Founder Tristan Hazlett shares how he turned a simple insight “paramedics have no way to measure patient weight” into a fully engineered, FDA-regulated hardware product now deployed across 27 states. Tristan walks through solving the technical challenges behind building a mobile, waterproof, multi-sensor gurney-mounted scale capable of accurate readings at any angle. He explains the realities of building medical hard tech: manufacturing struggles, field-test failures, regulatory hurdles, rapid iteration, and scaling a 10-person engineering-led team. The episode highlights Hinckley Medical’s impact on EMS dosing accuracy, founder lessons learned, and the emotional highs and lows of building hard tech that genuinely saves lives.
