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 handheld device will shine
a light that scans the area in which the procedure is being performed. The live
scan will show on the device’s screen. This would ultimately act as an x-ray
for your veins and arteries. 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. By more efficient I mean less time wasted with more accurate
administration. This will also reduce supply waste. Less stress for the person
administering the test/medicine and patient.
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 am starting to develop
a network of providers who are open to the idea of this device. I know creation
and distribution will be my largest obstacle. I believe with the work I’ve put
in so far, I’m much closer to seeing this idea come to fruition compared to two
months ago.
Feedback
A lot of the feedback I received was encouraging. I added
more detail of how the device works per some of the feedback I received. I was
also able to elaborate on the efficiencies of using the new product.
Hi! I think your idea is amazing especially when you were discussing the effectiveness of the device and the lack of waste of supply and time by the healthcare professionals. Also, I think that by you connecting with people, consumers, and providers who are willing to buy your device will help your business idea out tremendous by already having support from people.
ReplyDeleteHI Danielle. I thought how great your idea will be for the older community. My mother is under a lot of treatment with many blood draws. She comes home back and blue from inexperienced lab sticks. She is frail and a little “wrinkly”, so I sure it take some doing in order to get the vein for blood tests. Your idea will come in great use!
