Empowering Healthcare Through Connectivity

On a Thursday morning, where I had a short 3-4 minute conversation with Nancy, my hardware Rep for the case, before I scrubbed in. I voiced my interest in crowd-sourcing surgical video content for the younger generation of surgeons, but with no real connections to industry or the tech world for such an endeavour. We briefly talked and I went on to finish my surgical cases for the day. To my surprise, I received a phone-call a couple days day later which led to a dinner meeting at a Pizza Parlour with Greg and subsequent connections to an app developer.
It took another month or two before I realized the cost of the project, the enormity of the work that needed to be done and how low my confidence level was at the time to take on this Godzilla-of a project. I contacted my old friend Amir to see if he was interested, and he jumped on almost immediately. I got to say, what a confidence booster that was.
In the course of the year or so, the four of us got together, dug in and began to piecemeal this beast. We started to feel out the details as the project started to take from, not only on the tech and app side of things, but also the business side of things.
With every investor and partner who decided to team up with us, this project began to come to life. Today, the project is ongoing, but everyday it has been better than the day before it. I have to say, what an exhilarating ride so far! The journey so far has been both enjoyable, humbling and at the same time quite addicting for me personally.
We want to say to all those who supported us so far, big thanks to you all.
