When I think about it, the best thing I did was giving up excess, I have some good stories but was not a nice guy though - I'm really an advocate for the evolving (or is it cast in stone now) the role of the Medical Device Authorising Engineer. Has John Sandam and that clever young colleague from Medical Physics International (forget the name) written all over it, its its about time, tired of woolly guidelines & toothless regulatory bodies, and my work with AI, or SI (structured intelligence) in connectivity, diagnostic imaging, endoscopy, and pathology equipment, has led me down another path, John instrumental in shaping device management policies across the NHS and private healthcare sectors. I've gone down another path, from the environment tackling AMR to universal consciousness and Quantum phenomena back to AI as digital organisms.
My day job has like Johns championed the shift from device-based to systems-based management, emphasising the growing complexity and connectivity of medical technologies. my pension pot filling with IP, on devices, disease and cancer treatments thought of before consulting to joining the NHS - one design of mine got an investment of £200,000 on Dragons Den - well Shark Tank and hope to float on the NASDAQ - well Trump might have Knackered that !
We had one of the first AI endoscopy diagnostic devices, 3 seconds with a 98% accuracy, ready to go but to be honest more failures than successes i need to talk with others in AI integration in Medical Devices but getting distracted by programmers (not fond of physicists) LOL Johns work aligns closely with devices but my works is steering towards Estates these days (environmental prevention rather than cure) an approach which makes me conclude - it might be my newly freed autistic traits but over the last 7 years or so (my grandkids. they call me Sheldon) I firmly believe increasing risk to save money is false economy and should not be an option - EBME - we will need more OEM trained and qualified/staff which will will work more effectively supported by admin/contract officers etc
