Three innovations pushing the medical field forward

This NPR Planet Money Indicator podcast episode discusses three medical advancements: a universal cancer vaccine in early research stages at the University of Florida; a newly FDA-approved blood test for Alzheimer's disease developed by a Japanese company; and widely available, affordable exoskeletons from a Chinese startup. The episode highlights the different stages of medical innovation, from early research funded by government and universities to commercialization by multinational corporations and the role of smaller companies in bringing cost-effective solutions to market.
