At our recent 48 Hour Lean Startup workshop I helped guide an optometrist with no idea what he wanted to work on to a gamechanging concept in under 5 minutes.
How?
---
What does your day look like?
I see patients.
What else do you do?
Administrative tasks.
How much time do you spend on these tasks?
2 hours a day.
What does this involve?
Updating files. Transferring data. Lodging documents.
Transferring data?
Yes, most of our imaging devices don’t talk to each other and I have to manually export and import data.
This sounds like a manual workaround. Does this take a lot of time?
Yes, I spent about 30 minutes to an hour a day doing this.
Is this a problem that is common across medical profession?
Yes.
If you had a magic wand a product would appear that...
That automated this process.
What would an automated process achieve?
It would save me a lot of time to focus on patient care instead.
