"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working

2. What is First Aid ?
Encyclopaedia Britannica states First Aid as "measures to
be taken immediately after an accident not with an idea to
cure but in order to prevent further harm being done".
It uses the available human and material resources at the
site of accident to provide initial care to the victim of injury
or sudden illness until more advance care is provided.
First Aid has the following main objectives:

3. First Aid: Objectives
First Aid has the following main objectives:
(i) To preserve life (Self and Others)
(ii) To prevent the victim's condition from worsening
(iii) To promote recovery
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 3
4. Goals of First Aid
1. To restore and maintain vital functions. The ABC of basic life
support (Airway, Breathing, and Circulation) are always the first
priority.
● Airway must be open so that air containing oxygen enters the
body
● Breathing must take place so that oxygen passes through the
lungs into the blood stream
● The heart must Circulate the oxygen carrying blood
2. To prevent further injury or deterioration.
3. To reassure the victim and make them as comfortable as possible.

6. Action Plan
Action Plan is a vital aid to the first aider in assessing whether the victim has
any life-threatening conditions and if any immediate first aid is necessary. They
are DR. ABC .
D - Check for DANGER
To you
To others
To victim
R - Check RESPONSE
Is victim conscious?
Is victim unconscious?
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 6
A - Check AIRWAY
Is airway clear of objects?
Is airway open?
B - Check for BREATHING
Is chest rising and falling?
Can you hear victim's breathing?
Can you feel the breath on your cheek?
C - Check for CIRCULATION
Can you feel a pulse?
Can you see any obvious signs of life?
7. Fainting or losing consciousness
• Fainting is a brief loss of consciousness.
• It is a result of an interference with the function of the brain.
• Common of which are: fainting, head injury, epilepsy, stroke, poisoning,
diabetes and conditions associated with lack of oxygen.

8. Do’s & Don’t(s): If you see a person fainting
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 8
Don’t(s) :
Don’t give the patient anything to eat or
drink.
Don’t allow the person who has just fainted
to get up until the victim is fully conscious.
If the area is warm, don’t crowd around the
victim .
Do’s:
Catch the person if they stumble/fall.
Pinch the person to check for reflex
movements like opening eyes etc..
Examine the injuries and causes of
unconsciousness.
Tilt head back and keep arms at right
angle to body.
Raise the legs 8 – 12 inches. (This
promotes blood flow to the brain).
Loosen any tight clothing.
Keep the victim warm if it is cold
outside.
Keep a record of the casualty’s
condition.
10. Burns
A burn is damage to the skin caused by contact with dry heat. It may be caused
by fire, flames, steam, hot liquids, hot metal, sunlight, electricity or chemicals.
The degree of burn varies:
(i) First Degree (Superficial) - Involves only top layer of the skin and is red and
dry and the burn is generally painful. The area may swell. Most burns are first
degree burns.
(ii) Second degree (Partial - Thickness) - Involves both the epidermis and
dermis. The area is red and blisters may open and weep fluid, making the skin
appear wet. These types of burns are usually painful and the area often swells.
(iii) Third Degree (Full Thickness) - Destroys both the layers of the skin with
muscles, bones, blood vessels and nerves. These burns may look brown or
charred with tissues underneath sometimes appearing white.
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 10
11. Don’t(s) :
• Don’t place a burn under extreme
water pressure
• Don’t remove the cloth that is stuck to
the burnt area.
• Don’t apply butter ointment, oil, ice in
the area affected
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 11
Treating Burns
Do’s :
Immediately immerse the burnt area in
cool water or by applying clothes soaked
in cool water.
Remove jewelry and constrictive clothing
before swelling or blisters occurs.
Cover the area with a dry, sterile dressing
and not cotton or other fluffy material.
Drop, Cover and Roll if caught fire or cover
the person with a blanket immediately
13. Frost Bite
Frost- When body tissues freeze after exposure to sub-zero temperatures.
The signs and symptoms include white, waxy looking skin that is firm to the
touch but the tissue underneath feels soft and pain followed by numbness.
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 13
Do’s :
Cover frostbitten area with warm hands.
Warm by breathing out on them.
Place them in warm areas of the body.
Dip the affected area in warm water (40
degree centigrade).
Don’ts :
Do not rub : As tiny ice crystals in the tissues
may cause more damage.
Never rub snow on the area
Do not apply direct heat as this may re-
warm the area too quickly.
Do not let the patient walk.
Do not break blisters if any.
Dr. Sushma Kaushal
14. Bleeding
Cuts, scrapes and puncture can result in bleeding.
Severe bleeding can be life threatening.
Steps to stop bleeding :
1. Apply Direct pressure.
2. Elevation - Lie victim down and raise the injured part above the heart and
handle gently if you suspect a fracture.
3. Blood thickens and starts to Clot.
(Clotting: The blood gets thicker after bleeding for a few minutes. Clotting
slows down bleeding. Bandaging is done to stop bleeding and to stop dirt
infecting the wound. Change the bandage at least once a day and tetanus
injection needs to be taken if required.)
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 14
15. • Don’t be nervous: The calmer you are the chances of revival are
better.
• If bleeding from a limb doesn’t stop: apply pressure with hand
to pressure point.
• If you suspect an embedded object: apply pressure on either
sides of wound and place pad around it before bandaging. Don’t
fiddle with the object as it might cause more damage. (#MEDICAL
ATTENTION NEEDED)
• Wear gloves(if handy): To guard against infection
• If the victim becomes unconscious, follow DRABC
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 15
KEEP IN MIND..
16. Electrocution
Universal fact: Eelectricity is very dangerous.
When an electrical accident occurs: First Aider must Turn off
the Power Immediately !!!
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Surface and internal burns and either
breathing or heartbeat- stopped.
After ensuring the power supply has been cut off, remove the
victim from the source with non-conductive material.
Carry out the DRABC exercise and cover the area affected with
clean dressing and send him/her to the hospital immediately
if necessary.
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 16
18. Snake Bite
1. Snakebites generally occur on the limbs and more often on the legs.

into the body.
There are different types of poisoning:
Ingested poisons are introduced through the mouth by eating or drinking
poisonous substances.
Inhaled poisons are introduced through the lungs by inhaling industrial gases,
fumes from fire, chemical vapors and petrol and engine exhaust.
Absorbed poisons are absorbed through the skin via contact with poisonous
sprays such as pesticides and insecticides.
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 23
24. Dr. Sushma Kaushal 24
Do’s :
1. Check the danger, response, airway,
breathing and the blood circulation of the
victim
2. Give milk or water to dilute down the
poison
3. Monitor vital signs and prevent shock
4. Observe the amount and color of vomitus
5. Check for foreign matter in his or her
mouth and remove it so that he/she can
breath freely
6. Place the patient in the recovery position
and wait for medical assistance.
7. Send to hospital.. CALL 108.
Don’ts :
1. Don’t PANIC
2. Don’t Induce Vomiting
DO’s & Don’t (s)
25. Heat Stroke
It strikes suddenly with very little warning. When the body's cooling system fails,
the body temperature rises fast. This creates an emergency condition.
The signs are: the temperature of the body is very high, hot and dry. The skin is
red with no sweating and fast pulse rate, dilated pupils, confusion and sometimes
there might be loss of consciousness.
Do’s :
• Lower the body temperature by removing/loosing the clothing or fanning the
person.
• Put ice pack or cold compresses to the neck, under the armpits and to the groin
area.
• Drink lots of fluid and those who perspire more should drink as much fluid as
possible.
• Stay away from places that are hot.
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 25
26. Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS)
ORS has been a lifesaver in case of
dehydration (loss of salt and water in
the body).
ORS is prepared by dissolving a pinch of
salt in a glass of water and one
tablespoon of sugar to it. (The amount
of salt added should just be enough for
the water to taste like tear drops)
ORS helps in restoring back the
electrolyte balance of our body and re-
hydrate it.
Dr. Sushma Kaushal 26
27. Dog Bites/Monkey Bites
The aim of First Aid in case of dog bite is to prevent rabies, to reduce the risk
of infection and to get medical aid as soon as possible.
Do’s :
1. Wipe the saliva away from the wound using a clean cloth or
handkerchief.
2. Wash the wound thoroughly with plenty of soap and water.
3. Cover the wound with a dry, sterile dressing.

neurological symptoms.
• WHO is working with the Global Technical Network for Clinical
Management of COVID-19
• Researchers and patient groups around the world to design and carry
out studies of patients beyond the initial acute course of illness to
understand the proportion of patients who have long term effects,
how long they persist, and why they occur.
• These studies will be used to develop further guidance for patient
care.
