It’s not really surprising that our cell phones have 18 times more bacteria than a bathroom surface, when you really think about it. But do consumers really care to fix that?
Two cousins from Provo, Utah pitched their product PhoneSoap, a sanitizer/charger for cell phones that uses UV light to clean phones, to the Shark Tank investors.
The Hidden Administrative Tasks Draining Small Practices
Small practices play a critical role in healthcare delivery, but they cannot continue to absorb ever-increasing administrative demands without consequences.
At first the idea doesn’t seem to appeal to most of the investors, but then Mark Cuban takes a shift and approaches it as a good potential option for hospitals. Lori Greiner, on the other hand, jumps at the chance for this device to be more for consumers and appear on QVC.
PhoneSoap finally made a deal with Greiner for $300,000 in exchange for 10% of equity stake in their company.
Even though Cuban didn’t get the deal, would a device like this be practical in a hospital?
