One of Nebraska's leading emergency medicine and medical device innovators, Chief Technology Officer Dr. Thanh Nguyen was recently featured in "Prairie Portraits" — a Silicon Prairie News series spotlighting prominent founders shaping the state's dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Thanh reflected on his longtime dedication to decentralizing medicine in the Q&A, noting his primary motivator as an entrepreneur is to bring lifesaving, life-improving academic technologies to market so they can be utilized by a broader range of health professionals and patients.
Yet not all medical device concepts are practical for all people and processes. He emphasized the importance of designing technologies to seamlessly incorporate into clinical workflows, frequently reminding himself to stop simply "hearing" patients and to truly "listen" to their real-world needs.
Dr. Nguyen is the lead designer and developer of MicroWash. With an extensive background in family medicine, emergency medicine, medical research and academia, he is deeply committed to integrating technology into medicine to improve patient outcomes.
