What if doctors could design medical devices made just for you? In this episode of Holy Shift!, host Angela Gill Nelms talks with Dr. Scott Hollister, a biomedical engineer at Georgia Tech and Emory, about how 3D printing is changing medicine in powerful ways. Dr. Hollister shares real stories of how custom-made, 3D-printed devices have helped children breathe, recover, and survive when no standard treatment existed. From life-saving airway supports for babies to personalized medical tools to a one-of-a-kind medical mission involving a world leader, this conversation shows how engineering, creativity, and care come together to improve human health.
