The Entrep Class of Prof Jorge Saguinsin through its class leaders Dr. Dom Velasco and Scientist Kim Semon will conduct a forum on Innovation in Medical Science 2 to 4 pm at the Amphitheater this coming Saturday, July 9, 2016.  All MBAH students here and at Asian Hospitals, colleagues other Entrep students, and all AGSB students are invited to attend.  One of the significant presentations is on 3d printing, a state of the art equipment that is useful in rapid prototyping, metallurgy, design, aerospace and defense.   3d printing is here available in the Philippines and will help propel the country towards modernization of manufacturing technology and advancement of science.  It is heard that DOST through MIRDC will invest in a modern, 3d metal printing

One of the speakers is Dr. Rene Catan, an MBAH graduate and who also took up Entrepreneurship under this professor.  He said he was inspired by this class, when I talked to him a while ago.

Dr. Rene Catan has agreed to be a keynote speaker for this coming Saturday forum on 3d printing.  He is the CEO of Athrologic (Mirand?) which obtained a funding from Idea Space  and featured as one of the key innovations in the Philippines for medical technology by BBC.  His company has come out with a knee joint replacement that is one of the cost in US (down to $5,000).  But it is significant that his company is now worth P250 million

Dr. Catan developed a procedure for 2 piece knee replacement technology that would answer the need for some 80,000 Filipinos who suffer arthritic pain from bum knee.  He developed the technology in 2011.  He obtained funding from IdeaSpace a kickstarter type of funding of  Smart.  Arthologic was one of the finalist.

He developed all ready a procedure to mass produce the knee replacement.  (3d printing?)

Dr Catan is from UP Cebu and received an award from UP Cebu for his achievement.

The coming home of Dr. Catan to be a speaker  is significant:

1. He achieved what you want for MBAH graduates - to go into research in medical science and technology

2.  That he used the platform of entrepreneurship is heartwarming;  he will be inspiring many students.(and a multi millionaire to boot)

3.  That humble our course may be, we are producing graduates like Dr. Catan, without multi million funding.

The course aims to develop creativity among MBAH enterep students. Thus to do this, there has to be practice and rigorous practice.  First rule is do not follow the rules.

The writer observed  that there were several tarps containing infographics at the lobby of the Ateneo School of Medicine  on several schemes/flowcharts that are either software, or apps are related to health.  They are meant to improve process flow, patient access, data gathering and classifying that would presumably improve process, cost, health care delivery.

Since I was not able to inquire from anybody, I could guess that either they are available software, or project proposal of Ateneo Medical Students - MBA
