Exploring the unknown, in any aspect of life, is a combination of excitement and fear. Humans are more inclined towards either side of the spectrum, depending on how much risk the unknown poses for them. Excitement leads to unveiling more of the unfamiliar subject and fear entails calculated decisions towards or away from any data available. This typically leaves us with two broad categories of people – believers and skeptics, thriving in a symbiotic relationship. In industry terms, it is then up to the believers to invent and convert the skeptics to consumers.

Be it any industry - Medical, Aerospace, Defense, Food, Clothing, etc, inventors put their hearts on their sleeve to create something new, but unless the consumers don’t utilize it, their creations can be rendered irrelevant. Unsurprisingly, the fate of any new technology is highly dependent on its acceptance by the particular industry. In the medical field, this can mean a long gestation period. Reason? Fear of risk to life.
