You?
My name is Danielle Losquadro and I
am a business major at UF. I’ve worked in banking and finance for the past 10
years. I have a very social and happy personally which makes it easy for people
to gravitate towards me. I enjoy learning from others. I believe this business
would take up a big chunk of my life especially in the beginning. Getting a
business of the ground takes tremendous work.
What are you offering to customers?
I’m offering innovative technology.
I’m offering a had held device that shows healthcare providers where a person’s
veins and arteries are located. This will ease the blood collection and
medicine administration process. Currently providers assess where to stick the
needle based on touch. If they can clearly see where the target is, there will
be less pain and discomfort for patients.
Who are you offering this to?
I am offering this device to health
care providers specifically primary care physicians, labs specializing in hematology,
hospitals, and EMS. The commonality in these customers is they are all in the
medical field dealing one on one with patients.
Why do they care?
This device will make their jobs more
efficient. It will also improve the patients experience relieving a layer of
stress. It will make the process more efficient cutting down mistakes.
What are your core competencies?
What sets me apart is my dedication
and knowledge on the subject matter. I have lived through the stress, pain, and
nervousness of being stuck multiple times by multiple providers until they were
able to complete the task. I never want to go through that again. No one should
have to if we can make a device that can improve the process.
I think my concepts work great
together. I know I’m not perfect and this isn’t a perfect plan. I know I will
need to improve my channels of outreach. Find a way to set the meeting with the
actual decision makers. I believe my best approach would be to infiltrate local
primary care providers then break into a more corporate setting.
Hi! I think that your business idea and device is a great idea and will help many people and patients. Your device seems to be very effective when providing it's service to the health care providers that deal with similar issues and problems daily at work. Also, I agree that your device will relive tons of stress by making things easier.
ReplyDeleteHey I actually really like your product, an important question is will it show the valves within a vein. I can think of at least 5 times off the top of my head when a nurse has hit a valve, which is certain parts of your vein that make sure blood does not back track through arteries and veins. Currently the only way for a nurse to know if there is a valve in the part of the vein they are sticking the needle in is by trial and error which can be very painful.
ReplyDeleteNice business idea Danielle, I could see where there is a problem with just touching and trying to feel the location of the vein. Would an ultrasound be something that compete with this idea? What type of technology would be used to view the veins? I think it has great potential if you have the right engineers that can create the device and deliver accurate images.
