Here's how you can navigate obstacles and setbacks in your Product R&D career path.
When designing a medical device that will be implanted in or interact with the human body, the first step is to gain a thorough knowledge of the relevant body portion's anatomy and physiology, both from recent literature and interviews with physicians who specialize in its diseases and treatments. Since women have been ignored in medicine for 2,500 years, the information you need for your design may not be there. You will have to design and build the safest version you can conceive, get IRB permission to conduct a clinical Early Feasibility Study, and learn what you need from its results. By safely interating you can produce a safe and effective medical device.

Here's how you can effectively analyze and learn from failures in Product R&D.
With implanted medical devices, failure is not an option. The designer must know every aspect of the anatomy and physiology of the tissue and organs surrounding the prospective implant BEFORE starting product design. Unfortunately this data is often missing or incorrect for women, making FemTech extremely difficult. The Silicon Valley mantra to fail fast and fail often is deadly in MedTech.

Here's how you can identify and steer clear of common logical fallacies as an entrepreneur.
As we raise a Seed Round to get our cure for 750 million incontinent women to them, we encounter many factual as well as logical errors by potential investors. When a gynecologist shows ignorance of a woman's anatomy, I fight the urge to slap some sense into him and calmly explain the anatomy without hurting his feelings. As we go through the fundraising process I find that I have to use the skills I developed decades ago when I was a medical school professor - listening, suspending judgement, clearly explaining, patience and motivating.
