Maybe you can break it down and focus on the areas that would appear to allow an effective, profitable, scalable intervention. A few thoughts:
Prevention
-Clothing/brace that reduces the risk of injury?
Diagnosis
-Objectively measuring pain is difficult. Here's an attempt.
Coping
-Mental health intervention
-Interesting article here on how VR helped a severe burn victim. Note to self: ketamine trips are insane.
Masking
-Counter irritants
-This device seems like an interesting idea, but has poor reviews.
Permanent solution
-Brain surgery? Probably isn't what you're interested in.
Hi, I'm an entrepreneur looking for a startup idea.
In my experience, the reason most startups fail is because they never actually solve anyone's problem. So I'm cheating and starting out by identifying a specific person with a specific problem.
So I'm asking you, what's the most annoying part of your life/job? Also, how much would you pay for a solution?
