From a primary consideration, start-up companies have been founded based on: (1) what technologies they consider possible, and (2) the need for clinical solutions to problems that exist in health care. For this reason, we look at the range of [...]

It’s a sort of yankee ingenuity made [...]
Not a great picture, I know, but this is partly due to technology limitation (mobile phone pic sent to go@mobile.com). But this is a screenshot of the one of the database data entry forms used in our internal company database, which in turn is used to track medtech companies (and other entities (e.g., VCs, [...]
