Episode 4: Evelyn Chan, Smileyscope
Evelyn Chan thinks more about the big picture after her experience in the U.S. because Americans "want to see the whole thing."
This week on 37 Degrees Latitude, Dr. Evelyn Chan, MD, and CEO of Smileyscope talks about navigating pitch meetings, building a proven medical technology from the ground up, and introducing Poggles the Penguin to the world.
Smileyscope, a virtual reality medical device, is taking off both in Australia and the United States thanks to an innovative product, some warm contacts, and both Americans and Australians who were willing to go out of their way to help a new business.
U.S. Consul General Mike Kleine hosts Evelyn to find out more about how gymnastics, pediatrics, and an Italian village combined to build a cutting-edge business that turns needle procedures from something scary into an undersea adventure.
