I'm a medical physicist / MBA that sold my last healthcare software company to Varian Medical Systems in late 2013. I'm investigating an opportunity in healthcare data security. My partners and I (PhD Cryptographer, ruby / java engineer, physicist / MBA) are looking for a CTO to help co-found the company.

This is not a "business guy looking for code monkey" situation. I wrote all the code for my last startup, but am not qualified to architect a mission-critical data security solution. We're looking for someone with some combination of experience with:

- healthcare software / medical devices
- web security
- embedded systems

2 out of the 3 above would be awesome.

I think we're pretty smart guys, and would be fun to work with. Let me know if you or someone you know would be interested in talking about this project. I'm available to meet for coffee somewhere in SD, or Google Hangout.

Thanks,

Mike

Last night’s Hacker Meetup was very helpful to me. Thank you, everyone! The discussions revealed to me that there have to be at least two paths forward. But the guiding star in each case is the same: reaping part of the tremendous value to be found in making medical devices (currently wildly expensive) efficiently and cheaply. The patented method and hardware/software design makes this possible by making possible generic design of reliably correct real-time embedded devices (of which medical devices are a subset).

This could go as far as customizing a device for each individual patient and, at the same time, having a design that would guarantee the behavior of the customized device from a generic design with parameters. This would bring medical devices into the realm of reasonably priced one-offs, analogous to the recent move toward one-off book publishing (e.g. CreateSpace). But you cannot do this in a life-critical application without absolute assurance that things will happen correctly and on time, which is what the invention provides.

Here is a copy of my handout (please let me know if it does not come through to everyone).

New ITOCA offer (on AngelList and GUST but not yet on www.LAZM.net):

$25,000 upfront plus royalties for a single non-USA country.

This is absolute minimal bar to entry, as the upfront payment is not much more than patent cost (the PCT patent is expected to have to be split into two). Cherry-picking of countries is expected.
