Old dog, new tricks: Taking innovative technology mainstream w/ Peter T. Bianco
When it comes to innovative technology, the healthcare space has always been notoriously slow, making them the proverbial “old dog.”
But when you have a “new trick” with data backing up its efficacy, sometimes that old dog sits up and takes notice. Just ask Peter Bianco, Founder & Chairman at OsteoApp.ai.
Peter’s company took a non-AI proven screening product and enhanced it with artificial intelligence, filling a long-neglected need in the orthopedic space.
The solution proved to be a more convenient and effective option for both the healthcare industry and patients at risk for osteoporosis.
Peter takes the time to highlight his commercialization journey - one that utilized serendipity, strategic steps, and innovative vision on its way to disproving that old saying that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
