Mitra Soltani

About

Mitra Soltani is a MedTech engineering leader and the Co-Founder and CTO of Blue Sky Consulting. With a career spanning 25 years in engineering—including over 17 years dedicated specifically to medical technology—she specializes in moving complex electromechanical systems from early prototypes to reliable, scalable production. Mitra has successfully guided multiple Class I and Class II commercial medical devices through their full product lifecycles, with technical applications ranging from medical imaging systems to advanced surgical robotics. Her core expertise encompasses reliability engineering, manufacturing test architecture, design for testability, and rigorous system- and subsystem-level verification for new product introductions. Beyond her hands-on engineering work, Mitra holds three inventions and frequently writes and speaks on patient safety and the integration of AI within MedTech. As clinical environments increasingly rely on complex, autonomous systems and AI, the engineering margin for error approaches zero. Mitra is a dedicated advocate for the principle that true clinical innovation must be anchored in uncompromising system reliability and patient safety. Her perspective is forged through decades of architecting manufacturing test strategies for mission-critical hardware and verifying highly complex electromechanical platforms. This deep, hands-on experience allows her to bridge the gap between theoretical technological capability and safe, real-world clinical deployment. She champions a rigorous, evidence-based approach to MedTech development, equipping industry leaders with the technical clarity required to build inherently trustworthy medical technology. At Blue Sky Consulting, Mitra leads a multidisciplinary group holding more than 70 years of combined experience, partnering with MedTech organizations to mitigate technical risk, ensure product readiness, and scale with confidence. Future Pulse Forum 2027 – Panel Topic & Speaker Notes • Speaker: Mitra Soltani, Co-Founder, Blue Sky Consulting • Panel: Healthcare Infrastructure & Smart Hospitals • Topic: Building Trust in Smart Hospitals: Reliability, Robotics, and the Safe Integration of Advanced Medical Technology Abstract & Speaker Focus: Mitra’s participation in the Healthcare Infrastructure & Smart Hospitals panel reflects a critical inflection point in modern MedTech: the safe integration of complex, autonomous systems into live clinical environments. Drawing on her deep background in electromechanical verification and failure prevention, her discussion will explore the engineering rigors required to deploy advanced robotics and AI safely. She will highlight that as hospital infrastructure becomes increasingly interconnected, the underlying reliability architectures and manufacturing test strategies must be robust enough to guarantee uncompromising patient safety at scale.
