True Patriot Love - Industry Innovation： Attracting Attention to Your Idea #Healthcare

00:00:00.000 I came back to Canada, started it up, and all of a sudden, everyone in the industry kind of came

00:00:04.560 and they showed up at my front door eating and hanging out to try to figure out what I was doing.

00:00:09.840 You know, and are you finding people coming?

00:00:12.160 So it's interesting, I find, and again, that charitable business I'm referring to,

00:00:16.620 I find it interesting, the more sort of innovative things I did in that business,

00:00:20.620 because when I came back to Canada in 2011, I was living in the States for 12 years,

00:00:28.520 I came back to Canada, started it up, and all of a sudden everyone in the industry kind of came

00:00:33.600 and they showed up on my front door eating and hanging out to try to figure out what I was doing.

00:00:38.480 Are you finding people starting to, as you're developing the Living Lab,

00:00:42.900 are they coming from other provinces and spending time with you?

00:00:45.880 Because I know the medical field is quite collaborative in that way.

00:00:50.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:00:50.660 No, a lot of people coming and being asked and invited to go present in different parts of the country

00:00:55.680 and elsewhere on the living lab approach but it's it's kind of you know some people see it as an

00:01:05.120 asset and some people see it as a barrier one of the challenges especially in the technology or

00:01:11.760 the IT technology space a lot of the old paradigms was get in get adopted and create a barrier to exit

00:01:20.960 right that's been always the sales strategy by having an approach like we have we kind of

00:01:27.120 prevent that creating the barrier to exit so we're only bringing in technologies that can prove to

00:01:32.080 show that they're usable and we can get some feasible measures of success from it okay um

00:01:38.400 but it's been a shift in mindset when you're talking about two innovators that they want

00:01:42.560 to come into the hospital system because they've largely been trained on that uh that type of

00:01:48.160 mindset but being able to have a structure approach like this we always get answers and

00:01:55.200 then people get that feedback towards you know trying to commercialize their solution system

00:02:00.560 and they've been able to take that to other places in addition to us demonstrating success

00:02:04.800 where we've been able to integrate so more and more as we get success and we have some of those

00:02:10.720 companies now getting some significant projects here in Newfoundland but then also getting

00:02:16.160 commercial agreements elsewhere more and more people are knocking on the door yeah yeah which

00:02:20.720 is which is terrific
