  My guess for zip thru: Regular grocery shoppers have already learned store layout from repeated shopping. app wouldn’t speed them up

    one-off shoppers at big stores like IKEA might be better

    If you app can slow them down and spend more time in the store I think that would be appealing to the big stores!

  Yes. Patient compliance is a HUGE problem across health care. Physio, drugs, everything.

    Agreed, if they can solve the patient compliance problem the drug industry will beat a path to their door.

      Yeah I saw that too. :-S Looks like it was more of a joke and isn’t their business name. Hopefully no branding conflict.

      They’re on the list of groups to contact. … right after I find a few partners.

      They are focusing on rural partnerships and it looks like they aren’t doing urban. So hopefully no conflict there either.
