Beyond the Clinic: Experience and Building a Future with Ben Wright
Ever wondered how recording a podcast live at a bustling conference feels? We don't know either! But you can join Brent in Charlotte as we broadcast directly from the AOPA conference for the first time ever.
In this episode we dive into the world of orthotics and prosthetics as we unpack the ongoing excitement and occasional weariness surrounding 3D printing technologies. We also shed light on the fluctuating funding climate in the sector, discussing why impactful, application-focused companies continue to capture investor interest despite a slowdown in startups.
Could large corporations be losing their grip on emerging technologies? We explore the precarious balance big players like HP, Stratasys, and 3D Systems must maintain when investing in 3D printing. We discuss the brutal reality of corporate decision-making and the potential risks of shifting focus to new trends. This discussion offers a crucial lens into the strategic movements of industry giants and the ripple effects on innovation.
Then we meet Ben Wright, a passionate prosthetist and orthotist who takes us on his inspiring journey from manufacturing engineering to opening his own practice. Learn about his strategic decisions and the challenges he faced, from choosing a clinic location to securing funding and building strong local relationships. Discover the advantages of integrating digital scanning technology into clinical practice and the value of maintaining small, personalized clinics in an industry increasingly leaning towards consolidation. This episode is a treasure trove of insights, packed with real-life stories and practical advice for anyone interested in the evolving world of orthotics and prosthetics.
