@arushi101@PathMaker_Neuro@RhlSamant @BioIntTech another factor is that innovative design, especially for folks with disabilities and chronic conditions, needs to do more than just meet a basic unmet need. It has to do so without adding adding complexity to users' lives because they already deal with so much in daily life (2/2)
@arushi101@PathMaker_Neuro@RhlSamant @BioIntTech Where to start?! Regulatory and reimbursement barriers exist, but for good reason - of course we want to make sure that everything we're designing is safe, efficacious, and effective for our end users (1/2)
@arushi101@praxis_sci We've also designed insertion aids that integrate seamlessly into existing catheterization workflows and greatly simplify the process of catheterization from the perspective of ergonomics and human factors #hackSCI
@arushi101@praxis_sci Every catheter in the US is labeled for single-use & users have to choose between affordable catheters covered by insurance and no-touch catheters that reduce UTI rates but are very expensive. A reusable no-touch system allows us to provide no-touch features at a lower cost!
@arushi101@praxis_sci Our company has grown tremendously as a directly result of the support & mentorship at the folks from @praxis_sci. It's not an exaggeration to say that our understanding of the company's strategy moving forward has been transformed by the accelerator program
@praxis_sci Our mission is to reduce infection rates for catheter users using our reusable, no-touch catheter system. Having access to our product means having access to more affordable no-touch catheters and having fewer UTIs in the long run!
