Verónica, INGENIERÍA BIOMÉDICA | Clau, quiero ser ingeniera 3x15 | “Cambiar vidas con tecnología”

Hey there! Today we chat with Verónica, a biomedical engineer passionate about technology applied to medicine. She shares how she chose this career, her tough early years (spoiler: failing is part of learning!), and her love for math and tech in healthcare. Plus, we discuss the coolest part of her current job: virtual reality for surgical planning. Can you imagine a surgeon putting on VR glasses to visualize everything before operating? It's already happening, girl, and it's mind-blowing! We also debunk AI fears and geek out over the countless opportunities in this field.
