When we started, we really didn't have a good estimate of how hacking in the medical space would be different from other kinds of hacking we'd done.

But it's really not that bad once you get the hang of it. If we could say anything to other people considering taking the plunge, it would be to not be afraid of the medical space. Sure, it's a regulated space and some things are more complicated, but the difficult problems are the more interesting ones to solve!
