According to the NIH, balance problems are reported in about 9% of individuals who are 65 years of age or older, with fall-related injuries such as breaking (or fracturing) a hip being a leading cause of death and disability in older individuals. By 2020, the cost of fall injuries in this age group is projected to reach nearly $33 billion.
Speaking for AcuNetx, CEO Ron Waldorf commented, "Working with the world-class Graziadio School is a great opportunity to understand the commercial potential resulting from lessening these patients' potential to fall and increasing their quality of life with our proprietary products and services."
Michael Lesner will head-up the 'Balance Project' for AcuNetx. Lesner's medical marketing background includes the first home health magazine with Surgeon General Charles Everett Koop; co-authoring the Kidney Dialysis Guide (a joint venture between Amgen and HCFA); branding Baxter's Operating Room Division; creating McKesson HBOC's ePharmacy initiative; and developing VisMed[TM], a key medical software program which is today used in over 30 major hospital systems.
"Working with organizations such as AcuNetx provides our MBA students with hands-on, experiential learning. The students have been charged with analyzing the market opportunity for the company's new healthcare offering and determining the best method for commercialization," said Doreen Shanahan, director of the Graziadio School's Education to Business program.
