Been a while since I’ve done one of these.
A recent personal health related saga motivated me to put this one together. 👇

3 months ago, I began having post-prandial epigastric abdominal pain lasting 30-90 mins would resolve spontaneously…until one night, it just didn’t.
Pain 10/10. Could not sit still, constant with intermittently colicky. Went to the nearest ED.

The #startup world's dirty not-so-secret: most startups fail. Startups are risky and so investors place bets on lots of startups and fold the ones that don't show promise, which sucks for the company employees, but also for the users who depend on the company's products. 1/

You know what this is like: you sink a bunch of time into familiarizing yourself with a new product, you spend money on accessories for it, you lock your data into it, you integrate it into your life, and then, one morning - poof! All gone. 3/
With respect @KateKurera, the only thing I don't like about your speech was the bit about "big corporations".
I don't like it, because all corporations, when successful, will become big.
Those that ride the #repairability wave have many $$ advantages.

A good solid for #repairable devices is of financial management: Roughly 30-40% of a given products' revenues come in the form of lifecycle maintenance.
In the coming decade, that margin will increase to 50-60% due to futureproofing and modularity among other things.

What's missed by financial managers though, is that this revenue is not free. It has two costs, one indirect:
First, the cost of staff to maintain said equipment - if your products fail "too infrequently", you're forced to use contractors (seasonal variability of need).

A lot of you requested me to post a thread on #LTTS. I did not find time, neither had motivation to do since it is a complex business to cover via something like Twitter thread or even a newsletter. Here I am posting only some abridged views.
I hold Both #LTI & #LTTS from IPO. I am an ex-LT/LTI so have a bit of sneak peak into company as well. Last 2+ years have been terribly bad for LTTS. Not because they did something wrong, but because of external factors.
ER&D space is a bit different than traditional IT. The revenue realization cycles are longer. Contracts are stickier but hard to come by as well. Unlike IT, ER&D is close to sectoral automation at frontline. IT plays role via software, but ER&D is much close to real automation

Patients should be empowered to OWN their electronic health records.
If you + your records can freely move between, doctors, hospitals, insurance providers, etc. you have the power to get the care you need 😃

Thread: Dropping out of medical school was terrifying.
For money, I had to do something embarrassing; door-to-door sales in my hometown... calling on doctors who all knew me.

I didnt know where my career was going but knew my intuition was guiding me in the right direction.
I decided I wanted to get into medical devices. I was told I had no experience but I kept applying, reaching out, and staying positive.

I got my first break as a sales rep at Mazor Robotics (now acq. by @Medtronic ). I still didn’t know where I was going but stayed patient and trusted my intuition.

(2/5) Sells was a one-of-a-kind gentleman, who not only inspired professionally but also personally. He was a family man &
(3/5) to quote his amazing wife Michelle he was “A verifiable ‘go-to guy’, a closer, a true born leader who never met a stranger or a dilemma he didn’t look straight in the eye.”
In honor of his spirit, I would like to start a tradition with all of his mentees and disciples.

S&T #incubators have shown amazing leadership & response esp connecting with local communities & fast decisions to help #startups @venture_center @PremnathV6 @DeepanwitaC @IKP_SciencePark @SINEIITB @abandopa @CCAMP_Bangalore be it #facemask #PPE #IKP-ICO fund or @IndiaDST #CAWACH
We have #PPE shortages even in the wealthiest country in the world. On the bright side, the incredible, global maker community has created an explosion of different #faceshield designs for #covid19. Why choose the @dtm_tweets DtM-v3 #faceshield?
It is the first #faceshield to be recommended by the U.S National Institutes of Health @NIH #3dprint exchange.

Spark Health Design partnered with @dtm_tweets to apply our experience designing medical devices for low-resource settings to a reusable #faceshield for #covid19. It is the work of over 80 volunteers including experts from @Boeing, @Microsoft, @Harborviewmc, @uwdfab, and more.
1/8 Tks @FICCI_CTech & @ficci_india. @PrinSciAdvGoI recently mentioned the immediate needs to deal ranging from PPEs, RDTs, MobilApps, Criticalcare Equipments to Sterilising Equipments. I believe that we have several (indeed several) products between (TRL6-9) @PMOIndia @GKangInd
2/8 These products could be quickly assessed & along with #Indian #medtech #manufacturers productn could be ramped up to meet the immediate need for #Covid19 care. #agencies esp @BIRAC_2012 & @MADevImpact (@eittee & @AbhaySinghKr) have many #medtech #products in their portfolio

Doctor-patient relationship is crucial and I wonder if a patient is aware of the hospital’s policy (not the doctor) for a visit time allotment (in minutes).

So it was after a great run in @ambercentre that I decided I wanted to stay in Ireland, and.made the move out to Galway 2 years ago to become a physics lecturer @nuigalway!
I'm still researching nanomaterials out here with my group @fairfield_lab (more on that later in the week), as well as #medtech applications of nanomaterials in collaboration with @CURAMdevices.
But now that I'm a lecturer, I also get to teach! Both labs (which I have been teaching since grad school days) and lecturing 1st/2nd year physics.
