About
Barrett Larson is a physician, researcher, and educator who is passionate about developing new technologies to improve patient care. Barrett did both medical school and residency training in anesthesiology at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he continues to practice as a Clinical Assistant Professor. Beyond clinical practice, he leverages his medical training to help facilitate the development of innovative medical technologies. Barrett was the Co-Founder and CEO of Leaf Healthcare, which developed a novel wireless patient monitoring system for hospitalized patients. The Leaf technology was FDA cleared, validated in clinical trials, and implemented in dozens of hospitals across the US before being acquired by Smith+Nephew in April 2019. Barrett now serves as the Vice President of Clinical Education for Smith+Nephew, where he helps lead clinical education efforts, both internally and externally. Outside of his industry work, Barrett partnered with Chris Rishel to start WikiAnesthesia after recognizing that the global anesthesia community needed better access to high-quality knowledge related to the field of anesthesiology.
