Question
I've done extensive research in pressure ulcer prophylaxis in hospital settings and have an idea that has been proven to be an effective way to do so. There is nothing on the market like it and there is a huge need for it. How can I get my "idea" off the ground?
Answer
Proof of Concept - One way would be to design a prototype of the product or service and then share it with trusted colleagues. Sounds like you may need to do a study so partnering with an academic institution or finding venture capital funding to help support this would be helpful. Joining a healthcare incubator or accelerator such as Start-Up Health can give you some structure to organize your work and connections for funding in exchange for equity. This way gives you the organization and a higher sense of commitment you may need to get to the next level. I've been part of a healthcare incubator and successfully launched a medical service. I'd be happy to have a conversation to help you learn more about this.
