What happens when an engineer tackles a medical solution.
Great discovery.

Let's start off by admitting that medicine is an incredibly difficult, challenging field. It relies on standardization and generally applicable principles and techniques when each of us is a beautifully unique snowflake (at least at the point of application).
Science has shown us two things: A. That cross-disciplinary collaboration frequently leads to fresh breakthroughs and novel solutions and B. That data is key to doing anything.
When an engineer looked at a medical problem and decided to find another way all of that came together. It led to an amazing breakthrough that may well lead to many more. It also showed the difficulty that doctors frequently face when they ask a patient to describe their symptoms. No one really knows how someone feels except the person feeling them and they may either not really be listened to or be incapable of communicating well. The man in the story pulled off as close to a Tony Stark as we're likely to get.
Patient Innovation (https://goo.gl/YxKxcD) is a website born out of this close doctor-patient interaction that has led to more breakthroughs. Our world is changing in fundamental ways. The legacy thinking of the 20th century is beginning to be challenged and, at some point, it will fade. This is the beginning.
Enjoy Tuesday!
