Rule 4 of KC Solutions: to disseminate knowledge

This weekend took place in Madrid the third congress of ASETCIRC, the Spanish Association of Technology, Implant Surgery, Cornea and Refractive. It's an initiative of Professor Alió who has as objective, thought dynimac short communications and thoughts, on the last development of refractive, implants and cornea.

When you bring back so many meetings as I do, you lost the excitement of the beginnings, have the opportunity to know and speak with doctors.

But this meeting had something special for me, so I have the opportunity of met with the Professor of my university, Ramón Solá.

Ramón was one of my professors of clinics optometry and contact lenses (COC) in Escola d'Optica i Optometría de Terrassa (actually FOOT). It was the desired subject for everybody, because it was the last subject before obtaining the degree, and the first one which we had direct contact with daily patients.

When I met my old teach, I couldn't help remembering the past, how was that subject and how much we learnt with it. Without doubts, COC gave me knowledge of diagnosis and treatment, learn to face problems and solved them immediatly, to do study protocols and the most important thing, to plan the patients before their visit and analyse them thoroughly after obtain the dates.
I remember Ramón sitting on a table, he laughed and looked to everyone, with his funny anecdotes, he taugh us to love the profession and to think for ourselves.
We never missed on his classes, because you always could learn a lot of things.

This weekend, when Ramón saw me, he told me he was very proud of me, he knew I could arrive far (I was a student very very very bad and naughty) and he would love to participate in KC Solutions project. It should be a great satisfaction to see your students learning what you want to divulgate.
In KC Solutions we wish to have the same sensation and do the same work.

Up the next month, we will create a virtual room of the Keratoconus, when ophthalmologists, professors of optometry, eye care...everyone will take place teaching subjects about everything that concerns to keratoconus, but everything towards the patients. Whith discussion forums, videos and other material never seen before to understand everything. So you never have doubts, for everyone to.

From KC Solutions and through our excellent collaborators disclose all our knowledge of keratoconus, and personally, I hope to be able to get at least a tenth of a smile and professionalism that teachers like Ramón, Joan Gispets, Juan Carlos Ondategui, Laura Guisasola, Aurora Torrens, Jaume Pujol...unknowingly instilled in me and continue to instil in their students as the first day. What a great profession.

Thanks,
Pere

Web development (I)

Chris Anderson, in the August issue of Wired Magazine did a cover story that was, not only in his own magazine but in many others by the impact its cause. Something paid my attention, because it put on the vover, in very big capital letters, "The Web is dead".
The truth is that I was amused about that headline, because I was wondering myself, long ago, how our web should be.

Usually there are two major types of sites: those that are purely informative and they tend to be functional. In the first talk of the typical business pages that are intended to inform about their products, to contact them, etc..
The second kinds are those pages taht allow you to buy tickets, do paperwork done and things like that.

If you wonder yourself, the answer is not aberrant. What kind of webpage do you visited in your daily life? Do you usually go into the companies' webpage? Do you believe in the things they put into?

I only google throught the web to manage my tickets and my boarding cards, or, even, the pages of the other companies in order to learn about their progress and the truth is that they are few or simply they don't update the web (these are other big problem of the WebPages).

Wired which it came to say is that the network is changing. The preferences and uses are different than before and our time ever is smaller to dedicate to things that interest us and that mobility is that websites must adapt to this also.
Social network, blogs, applications for tablets and mobile phones are fundamental in the new era of comunication, these reasons made us to development in the virtual world of KC Solutions and its sorrounding.

Our Web should contains differentiating elements and clearly useful for both, professionals and patients.
It should be clearly functional and useful for everyone.

An that had...no seems to be far from easy in the beginning...

First Rule of KC Solutions: Be Transparent

The analysis and the daily life of KC Solutions is not easy. One trafficking that everything is transparent and well documented it is when it is difficult to overcome gaps.

The social networks are on everyone's lips and the positive things could change, in minutes, and become negative for your product and company.

I'm amateur of social networks from years ago. It was then, when I finished in Mediphacos, a company dedicated to the manufacture of intrastromal corneal rings, in Brazil and come back to IMEX, my old company, which is specialized in the distribution of Mediphacos and Intralase among other things.
The reason I came back to IMEX, it was the stress caused by I had to travel a lot throughout Europe, Middle East and North Africa without enough maturity neither labor support to do those tracks... anyway...

So, I decided to return to Valencia and I rent a house near to my job. Usually one does not usually much contact the lessor unless you have problems...and so was, the first time I contacted Juan Pablo Giménez it was for the matters of the house.
The question is that we met each other to take a coffee and our friendship become closer immediatly.
Juan Pablo is the Search Media Company prresident. A company specialized, among other things, in positioning your website in the network.
When we agree for the first time, what should have been a coffee and farewell, ended up being a coffee, a beer and a dinner. I was fascinated for the possibilities of the social networks and Juan Pablo know a lot about that. Talked to him it was a pleasure for me, I've been able to learn a lot of things next to Juan Pablo, one of them was to know how to analyze the network and observe which are those things that people need to know. But without doubts, what I learned most was to realize, that a company today, should have "face and eyes", must be transparent and should show what you want to offer to others to make life better.

This was the starting point of KC Solutions in the social networks. Be transparent and open-minded. At next months, you could follow the progress of KC Solutions like medical industry had never been shown on the Net.

I very hope you will like it ;-)

Wellcome!

Sunday afternoon...

Today is one of these days that I decide to rest at home. When I saiy that, people usually don't trust me, because certainly I don't do it. I find myself in a exciting moment in which my thoughts about the project I lend don't stop giving me ideas, evaluate those already made and smile to see that everything in still on the right track.

Of course we find difficulties in the path, but the truth is that it is not easy to carry on a Project like that and, what it seems simply and fast at the beginning, it takes a lot of hours and effort from people that are inside this project.

From the beginning, I wanted to share the evolution of KC Solutions with all of you, and it is very gratifying to receive messages of love, greetings and appreciation for the work we are doing.

Many of you have asked us to give more information about everything that we are carrying out. This blog is to end, go into the ins and outs of KC Solutions, i.e., see those things that do not usually see about how carried out this big project.

Through the articles that are going to be published, I will try to explain as carried out the task I and my team do. You can live much closer the effort and the courage of a group of people, living by and for the solution of keratoconus pathology.

If you wish to know more, wellcome to our KC Solutions world!
