• What medtech firms can learn from Whoop's warning letter (healthcaredive.com) — A Stillwater-based FDA attorney, Mark Gardner of Gardner Law, weighs in on why he expects wearable-maker Whoop to lose its fight over an unapproved blood pressure feature. His comments anchor a broader look at how the FDA draws the line between wellness and medical devices, what enforcement steps it can take, and what lessons medtech and wearables firms should learn before adding diagnostic-style features. 
• Ann Adele Junker (winonaradio.com) — Stillwater readers are remembering Ann Adele Junker, who grew up in Stillwater and graduated from Stillwater High School before a long, caring nursing career in Winona. The 80-year-old grandmother, known as “Nanny Grandma,” died December 5 in Texas. Family and friends can attend visitation and funeral services in Winona on December 12 and 13.
