Some things Michael Harsh said about IBX that always gets my heart racing.
MH: I get a chance to work with a lot of smaller companies where I see interesting technology. Hopefully, I can help them along. I've made a few mistakes over my career, so hopefully I can help them figure out how to get through the technology and the clinical acceptance and then see what we can do.MH: So, I just look at this and I'm fascinated by the advancements. We've got five ways of imaging the human body. When I look at x-ray, I look at CT, I look at ultrasound, I look at the molecular imaging technologies, but frankly, those have been around a while.
So what excited me to come out of retirement was to start working with a company like Imagion BioSystems to find out if there's another way that we can look at imaging and get a functional image with no radiation.
You have to ask yourself the question, ‘why do I have such a large expensive scanner when all I need to do is image my wrist?’
I think the time will come, and we'll see a trend here, where we'll see application specific scanners that are much easier to use, come at lower cost and higher performance.
This guy predicted the revolution of ancient imaging technology in 2019 and we saw Hyperfine come out with their portable scanners in 2020, so he definitely knows the industry, he is not some management bureaucrat, but he is an expert and a leader in the field of imaging technology. Michael Harsh started his career with GE Healthcare and their ultrasound technology where they had like 8 million dollars in sales per year when he started,, now its a 2 billion dollar industry and ultrasound is available everywhere globally. Imagine where he could take IBX?
