The other big problem with healthcare is the opaque nest of regulation, data privacy laws, physician buy-in, retail distribution, insurance coverage, and myriad other challenges that get in the way of good design. There is an elephant's graveyard of cool medical concepts, products, and initiatives that have died because they didn't factor in the realities of medical product design and instead focused on disruptive UI/Business Model/etc. My company is working on a competitive product (http://www.fastcodesign.com/1662351/blood-glucose-monitor-fo...) so I know how much of a challenge it can be. Good luck to them, the health market needs energy, hopefully they will expend it in the right directions. |
