Christie Medical

Christie Medical Innovations is a global

company based in Memphis, Tennessee

that discovers, develops, and

commercializes medical technologies

Our market-leading product, VeinViewer®, is a mobile vascular imaging system that

allows healthcare providers to clearly see accessible vasculature in real time directly on the surface of the skin.

Advanced Visualisation: What is Value of this Technology ?Transforming Understanding

Taking the “Conceptual”

- By far, organisations invest a great proportion of their R&D energy into the development and understanding of content.

- Central to content development is human understanding, perception and communication.

Taking the “Conceptual”, and making it “Experiential”.

- Informing perception with experience can be an invaluable tool in affirming or arriving at new conclusions.

- Inspires the imagination as a driver in perception and as these are drivers for innovation.

- Further, consider the value of Communicating ideas through experience to teams, stakeholders and customers.

4 Concepts to transforming understandingI m m e r s i o n

3D StereoscopyInteractive Collaborative

4 Concepts to transforming understandingI m m e r s i o n

- A sense of Scale- Greater perception of relationships- Enlarged comprehension

4 Concepts to transforming understanding

3D Stereoscopy

- A key element of perception is depth and relative relationships.

- “Rendered” 3D shows shape.

- “Stereoscopic 3D” reveals perceived depth.


Interactive

- First person perspective tracking and interaction is essential to the individual experience.

- Interacting with data sets from the viewer-centric perspective is critical in engaging the viewer in the visualisation.

- Focus is on the intuitive quality of the interaction and not the tools of the interaction.


Collaborative- When “me” becomes “we”.

- Shared understanding, especially diversity in understanding as a key component to innovation.

- Oil and Gas examples, where well-head designers peer review with well operations staff, virtually.

And it’s so easy….even a child can understand

Future Evolutions and Trends...

Seemingly un-related technologies are simultaneously evolving, creating opportunities where complimentary technologies intersect.- Internet collaboration technologies- Interactive and gesture technologies- Content management technologies

“Avatar Effect” or 3Dism making this technology more desirable and in effect widening the base of the “pyramid” and creating new markets for adoption.

The widening of this base will help encompass new opportunities in the “lower realms” of the technology where “accessibility” is important. Evolving technologies will heighten the peak of the pyramid creating new “fusion” technologies in the higher realms.

Christie and The Communitech Hub


24

Christie is a founding partner and supporter of this innovative facility

Concepts:

Tech Community: It’s about the people in the eco-system.> Larger and mature technology organisations and Academic Institutions: --- RIM, Open Text, AGFA, Desire2Learn, COMDEV, Christie --- University Waterloo, Conestoga College, Wiflred Laurier University

> Startup Companies focused on digital media technologies---- Gaming, Video, Cloud Computing, Social Media, Interactive Technologies.

> Support Partners:---- Legal, Financial Services, Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors, Marketing, etc…

High “potential energy” for innovation in the concept of community. “Kinetically” this may happen as people collaborate and interact in the community. Where complimentary technologies intersect, what new technologies will be envisioned and thus created?



25

Digital Media Technologies: It’s also about the technology

- Christie has implemented many of it’s higher forms of Viz Technology.

- Making this technology accessible by removing the “capital cost” roadblock.

--- Putting this technology in the hands and minds of new generations of potential users.

- Making this technology accessible by removing the “Tool Development Kit” customisation roadblock and implementing that “middleware” technology.

Key Point:

Not just about “Technology ideas” (though that is a part of it),

Importantly,

This is what “our” customers are looking for, and this is what “your” customers are looking for.

Thus innovation may occur through informed relationships based on greater “shared” awareness of market needs and intelligence, and opens the door to multi-dimensional collaborative relationships.

The Hub and the CDMN


32

The Hub is a microcosm bringing innovators and technologies together collaboratively.

The CDMN seeks to be a larger macrocosm creating similar “Hubs” across the country and building linkages and relationships between hubs.

In Conclusion


33

- Very open to exploring opportunities to utilise Advanced Visualisation, and to innovate in this area

- Hub: State of the art Technology, making it accessible.

- Hub: State of the art Community, the value of innovative and collaborative relationships.

- How the Communitech Hub might play a role in developing new technologies through relationships with you.
