Getting started in the medical product development process can be a huge undertaking. You might have an excellent idea, but maybe you're unsure about where to start. Whether you're just beginning to research, you're starting to look for development partners, or you're almost ready to start the manufacturing phase, having someone on your side who can advise you every step of the way is essential. Today we are talking to Meghan Alonso, the CEO of Imua Services, a company devoted to medical device product development firm, and host of the Inspired by Imua podcast. Meghan has a varied background in the medical field. She started out working with injured athletes during the time that she coached gymnastics. She began working at a general orthopedic rehabilitation clinic, and from there, she says she fell in love with medical devices and the impact that they were having on her patients. Since 2012, she's been helping companies with their innovations. Meghan earned her B.S. from Texas A&M University and her M.Ed. from University of Houston, and she's currently pursuing her MBA at Auburn University. On today's podcast, Meghan will talk about: - Some of the “rough waves” that are common during the development process, including tight budgets and a lack of organization. - Tips on how companies can choose development partners. - Her podcast, Inspired by Imua, takes a three-pronged approach to helping those who are designing medical devices. She speaks to industry experts, companies who have already designed devices, and patients whose lives have been changed. - The types of services that Imua Services provides, which include one-on-one meetings with clients to guide them through the product development process. Imua can help a company formulate a slide deck, write up a regulatory plan, design the manufacturing processes, reduce their costs and identify the strategies and logistics that will go into sales. - And last, something special for the Global Medical Devices listening audience: a guide to the most common wipeouts in medical product development.

Imua (pronounced ee-moo-ah) Services, founded by our guest Meghan Alonso, helps startup companies and individuals get their medical innovations up and running.  The hawaiian word “imua” means “to advance forward with passion despite rough waves”.   With nearly 75% of all startups in this field failing, Meghan’s company offers training, education and connections to key development partners, tailored to the client’s needs so they can bring their life-changing and even life-saving technology to the world.   Meghan’s passion stems from some rough waves due to medical issues for her and her family.   Meghan was born with a folded retina in her left eye that by the time she was in college was replaced with a custom made, hand painted prosthetic eye which looks almost imperceptibly real.  She also has an extra vertebrae in her spine which has resulted in numerous issues including scoliosis, disk herniations, and a tilted pelvis among others.  She had a love of dance and gymnastics, and despite pain which she learned how to manage through exercise, she excelled at both, and even did gymnastics right through college. Her family’s biggest challenge though came from an unidentified illness that plagued her brother, which was eventually identified as Hepatitis C.  Both Meghan and her mother also tested positive for it.  Meghan’s mother likely contracted through a blood transfusion in the mid ‘70s which she transferred to her son and Meghan in utero.  This led to 7 different treatments of low-dose chemotherapy. Through this challenging time they kept moving forward, and now happily report that all three of them are completely free of the disease. Meghan’s passion for surfing led her to Hawaii where she enrolled in a graduate program that ended up not being for her.  After one semester, she dropped out, and surfed all over the island.  She worked at the 4 Seasons Lanai which she loved but eventually realized she didn’t see herself doing it long term.  She obtained Exercise Science Master’s Program in Houston and eventually settled in San Diego.  There she helped athletes reach their full potential.  This led to her working in an orthopedic rehab clinic where she was exposed to medical devices, and a multitude of patients with different rehab protocols.  She was later invited to build a rehab center from the ground up which is now a three center organization. When she moved on from there, she Meghan had the opportunity to live out one of her childhood dreams of dancing on TV and with the Ooh La La salsa dancing troupe, toured all over Europe and the US.  She also was part of America’s Got Talent in Season 6.  All the dancing took a toll on her body, and the pain in her back became increasingly worse and she discovered she also had hip dysplasia and she had damaged the lining of both of her hip sockets.  This led to surgery in Colorado which involved a hip replacement.  Her experience at the clinic led her to finally dive into the field of medical devices.   She started Imua in 2015 after she had been working in medical product development.  The company she was working for was predominantly an engineering firm that innovators used to take care of the engineering component of the device idea.  She soon found herself being contacted by passionate people who had great ideas, but no idea how to get started.   Initially, she offered them resources to help them get started, and soon, it became a business. Meghan helps her clients navigate the complicated process of bringing their ideas to the marketplace.  Whether they move towards actually manufacturing and marketing their product, or selling the idea to a company who can do so, Imua’s mission remains to become the world leader in helping entrepreneurs, scientists, students and inventors bring their life changing ideas to fruition.
