Matt has developed a special interest in interdisciplinary efforts to improve outcomes, particularly in the necessary role of assistive technology and durable medical equipment as a supplement to the success of maximizing outcomes and patient potential. Matt has become passionate about the potential for improving acute and chronic outcomes through leveraging a more directly clinical and thoughtful approach to the design of durable medical equipment, and as an adjunct to clinical roles has spent a number of years developing concepts and theories related to understanding the core of unmet needs in the space.
