Future of High-Tech Medicine in Hawaii

Earl Bakken was the founder of Medtronic, where he developed the first wearable external pacemaker. He moved to Hawaii in the 1990s and quickly dedicated his efforts to promoting high-tech and holistic medicine in the islands. His contributions were instrumental to the design of the North Hawaii Community Hospital and its vision to be “the most healing hospital in the world.” His talk at Oceanit focused on the future of high-tech medicine in Hawaii.
