An MIT Sloan introductory entrepreneurship course on edX focused on identifying and understanding your customer, the first step in building a startup. It is tied to the Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework and has a companion course, 102.

Commenters say it taught them how to find their end user, and one calls it a good companion to the Disciplined Entrepreneurship book.

    I would second this advice. To be a little more concrete:

    What aspects of your specialty are the most expensive, the most time-consuming, the most error-prone, and/or the most dangerous?

    Alternately, you can look at the delivery systems for improvement. Are there people who lack access to professionals with the needed skills, equipment, or supplies? Or who can't access them when they are needed.

    I would strongly recommend you take a look at this book if you haven't already: https://www.amazon.com/Disciplined-Entrepreneurship-Steps-Su...

    The book is quite awesome and there are two EdX courses that go with it that I'd also recommend: They are called Entrepreneurship 101 and 102. See: https://www.edx.org/course/entrepreneurship-101-who-customer...

    Finally, there other online courses (Coursera or EdX) that specifically cover new product development in the Medical Device space.

    I really recommend MIT's Entrepreneurship 101 course on edx.org, it taught me a lot about finding your end user, which is what you're doing now. https://courses.edx.org/courses/MITx/15.390.1x/3T2014/info
