Question by P S: Where can I find a suitable doctor or researcher to help me develop my idea/diagnostic tool? I have an identical full diagnostic/visualization database/tool/aid that I am developing and I think it would be identical useful for doctors or labratory workers involved in the testing of blood etc for diseases etc.. The problem is I am reaching the limits of my knowledge of blood analysis and the software I have made works great. I’d like to enhance it and potentially bring it to market, but I don’t know anyone in this field, nor do I have access to significant amounts of data which would be required to take this further. I’d also like more info on what groupings/aspects of blood tests are related for examination. The ideal doctor/researcher would be happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement and share in the work/expenses/results. This could be a solely online collaboration if necessary. Any help in contacting such a person would be appreciated. thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by mjb The first thing I would do is patent your idea (HIGHEST PRIORITY). Depending on what types of blood diagnostic try – I would look at Biotech, Medical Device and/or Pharmaceutical companies that could commercialize what you’ve done which would mean a lot more money for you than if you went just to Dr.s or hospitals.I currently work at a Pharmaceutical Co that does biz deals all the time for diagnostics.
