VIBRAINT RehUp - Outreach + Communications
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET: Started from 2014, our venture have been developing VIBRAINT RehUp (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXGgq4gYg4M&t=7s) - a rehabilitation device that integrates a brain-computer interface, robotics and VR to help paralyzed people in regaining mobility. We also have developed a novel business model, and are currently preparing our solution for industrial manufacturing and market launch. In order to test our marketing assumptions, we want to collect several hundreds professional opinions about our product. To achieve this goal, we made an online questionnaire (https://forms.gle/rfgFiJZGdG63m57eA ) and ask healthcare practitioners, managers, private rehabilitation centers owners to answer it. We need help from VFC Intrapreneurs in receiving these precious professional opinions. We expect you to contact as many potential users of our solution as you can in the project timeframe and ask them to answer the short online questionnaire. In some cases we expect you to provide them more detailed information about the solution, in some cases - maybe to fill up the form on their behalf. At the moment, we are the most interested in polling Canadian and US professionals, however opinions from any other country will be non less valuable. You can reach your respondents in any way you think it is appropriate - in person, by phone, email, social media, at professional events etc. Prior to beginning of the job, we will present you our solution, answer your questions and address your doubts. Of course, we will help you along the way too. We also expect one of you to became a project Coordinator - to plan the project activities, look after its progress, help team members etc. HOW MANY STUDENT INTRAPRENEURS WILL THIS PROJECT ACCOMMODATE?/DE COMBIEN D’ÉTUDIANTS AVEZ-VOUS BESOIN POUR EXÉCUTER CE PROJET?
