Personal thoughts on 'keeping people happy' and its implications on a technology business

Positioning QuantMD appropriately has been a tremendous task and is an ongoing one...
New technologies that will truly weave their way into the bustle of reimbursable routine clinical practice are hardly ever those that only address a real clinical need.  Successfully 'translated' university-grown technologies require to have a resounding impact upon financials (it must save someone significant amounts of money!) and technical-workflows (it must save someone time!) in the healthcare system, in addition to addressing a clinical need in order to see the light of day.  

The initial QuantMD angle for attempting to address this conundrum has been that smart and targeted interventions by early non-invasive diagnostic screening earlier in the patient care process guarantees improved outcomes through a patient-focused care delivery model obviating unnecessary invasive exams, minimizing radiation exposure and saving lives through well-planned physics-informed patient-specific surgical procedures.

The quintessential entrepreneurial mindset for one fronting such demanding medical technology projects therefore needs to be at the confluence of of strong fundamental knowledge, technical prowess and never-failing wit to address inquiries - which are often insinuations that turn into stumbling blocks - with gusto and charm. Further, a CEO must be adept at being persuasive and doling out subtle blandishments in this regard especially when dealing with those "skilled in the art".
