MenuWhat factors determine good geographic areas for telehealth implementation?
In a hypothetical situation, what key determinants would one use to decide whether or not a geographic area was an ideal location to offer telehealth services? I would imagine factors like internet connectivity, distance from nearest healthcare facility, Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), and utilization patterns would all play a role.
What are other potential factors?

Hello, my name is Erik and as a Senior Analyst Programmer in marketing I had the opportunity to build targeted leads list for sales agent, witch is quite similar to your goal with this question.
You are on good track with your suggestion of using multiple models to determine your "customers" potentials by areas, internet availability, etc. We can also think of people age, specific area's health problems, etc. There's multiple trends we could find by managing all the information in a structured database. If you are interested to develop this idea combined with data mining/analysis skills, I will be happy to help you.
I look foward to help you on a call and don't hesitate to send me a message if you have questions.
Regards,
Erik

As a nurse building a medical startup, how do I get my idea off the ground?
It sounds like you have a wound care physical product? Is that correct? Who will b the end user? Nurses in home health? Hospital nurses and general and trauma surgeons? Who buys products for these end users? Cmo of large health systems? Ultimately, you may need to consider cardinal health, McKesson for distribution? How will you manufacture this product? Check out alibaba for starters. How much will your customer pay for this product? How is it better than what they are using now? Will this product allow burn victims to be discharged earlier? Will it reduce hospitalization in nursing home residents? You will need to assemble a team, probably an MBA for starters... What is the total addressable market? Start a conversation with the buyers for your local healthcare system and ask them their pain points in wound care? Work with a local physician who might be a champion user and persuade administration to try a pilot with your product. In short get one customer who will pay a certain price for it, consider presales, like tile is doing now. This should get you started! Once you have these answers you may be ready for a grass roots fundraising campaign on medstartr! I am happy to help! Best, dr hodgeND

What WordPress plugins (especially free ones) would you suggest for running a site offering subscription content?
As every membership site is unique in its needs & requirements, it's a hard question to answer with one plugin. I would start with Paid Memberships Pro (which is free) and consider alternatives based on your site's needs.AL

How do I start a relationship with DPC's, TPA's for Selling Wellness services and offering concierge medicine to them?
I would create an account with Manageflitter and/or Followerwonk - both integrate with Twitter. I know that many people feel negatively about Twitter but here's why it's great, especially for your quesiton: There are no privacy settings. Facebook and LinkedIn have tons of walls you run into while cruising around looking for potential buyers. And the other social networks are not conducive to time-effective/cost-effective networking for other reasons. With these tools (Manageflitter and Followerwonk), you can search the bios of Twitter accounts for DPC, TPA, and any other relevant keyword. You can search within your location, or throughout Twitter as a whole. From there, the tools allow you to classify (List) or interact (Follow) them. After that, I'd encourage you to engage them subtly, by favoriting and retweeting a few of their Tweets over several days. Then begin a conversation with them, ideally about a mutual interest or some random thing they specify in their bio. After a back-and-forth tweet or two, bring up your services tactfully. Ask them honestly if they need what you are offering. If they don't, maybe they know someone who is. At the very least, you'll have a relevant networking partner/friend! Another very valuable use of your time would be to post in LinkedIn groups. They are more professional than Facebook groups, and it's common for people to post jobs and other networking opportunities there, as well as pitch their own services. (See the lengthy URL at the bottom of this answer for an example). Hope that helps - I'd love to talk more; there are several other ways you could go about connecting with DPC's and TPA's online. Thanks, Evan http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1783783&trk=vsrp_groups_res_name&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A1618903721380231777057%2CVSRPtargetId%3A1783783%2CVSRPcmpt%3AprimaryED

I want to create a new wearable/portable healthcare device. What area of medicine should I focus on?
Focus on apps/devices that make it easier to manage chronic diseases--asthma, COPD, diabetes, or other issues like infertility. Managing these ailments can be cumbersome, and most patients fail at managing them. This is where mobile devices can offer the most benefit.CP
