I think a few of the better posters are suspended and a few on vacation. So the quantity and quality has dropped off. Without negative posts their is no discussion. Threads die quickly.

Regarding Clinical uptake of the device and technology in general, its a sad phenomenon. Hopsitals hold onto equipment well beyong recommended lifecycle. Getting funding is a nightmare. Even for trivial amounts.

Clinics are the same. Often they are owned by one person. The fittout and equipment is also purchased by this person. They then hire doctors to use the rooms and pay them a salary plus a share of takings. Buying new equipment just isnt an option.

Health insurance is they key. Not just getting the purchase subsidized but more importantly having the test added to benefit schemes so a doctor can charge government eg $30 per test. It will quickly pay for itself.

When you can show a doctor/owner the financial benefits (not the health benefits) they will buy anything.
