• The technology had a TRL of 3 and IRL of 1 at the time of screening with an alpha version of the AI algorithm • The technology prototype shows a promising result as a tool to support physicians to classify and report abnormalities by using chest X-rays | • Due to COVID-19 pandemic, it showed a high-impact use case to apply this research to help physicians to diagnose a COVID-19 patient using chest X-rays • Interview and engage with key opinion leaders • Rapid prototype development for potential application to solve customer pain points were proposed and validated • Study the IP landscape to find freedom to operate • First draft of business model | • Develop end-to-end software application and system integration with the hospital information system and then validate the result with the prospect user to see the problem–solution fit • Gauge customer reaction and purchase intent • Team recruitment • Refine business model • Apply for grants | • Final version of the business model was developed and validated with hospital management • Continue software development to complete the first commercial version and ready to launch on the field • Study tech transfer process • File an IP | • Install the system on the field • Lessons learned and Recommendations used to adjust business models • Work on university tech transfer process on the spin-off model |
