At EyeNetra, the startup he cofounded, goofy curiosities like plastic eyeballs line the shelves, and a 3-D printing machine whirs in the background. It’s printing out prototypes of a device that will attach to your smartphone and, in a minute or two, tell you what kind of eyeglasses you need. The device, called the Netra-G, is based on some clever optics and software Pamplona came up with—a way to measure the refractive error of the eye using a smartphone screen and an inexpensive pair of plastic binoculars. The whole setup might cost a few dollars to make. It does the job of a $5,000 instrument called an autorefractor.
More important, just about anyone could use it. That’s where the disruption comes in—and the trouble. Right now, only doctors or optometrists can prescribe glasses or contact lenses. Pamplona, a brash Brazilian programmer who arrived in the U.S. a few years ago, thinks that won’t always be the case. “We’re changing medicine by providing the user the right to measure themselves,” he says. “We see doctors as more of a coach.”

edical device and pharma companies extol the importance of their sales forces. They provide face time with customers that help drive product sales. On many occasions, marketing and sales representatives literally have only seconds to pitch their product to a busy doctor. Many medical device industry leaders I have spoken to throughout the years have joked about the literal nature of the proverbial "elevator" pitch. The iPad allows for innovative and engaging ways for reps to communicate product information to doctors, without having to worry about long boot times and wasted precious interaction moments. A representative of Novartis states: "... IPad use will save sales teams 250 hours a year allowing for 35,000 more customer visits." According to the Manhattan Research Group's research on the advantages of iPad aided interactions with doctors and its relation to increased sales2: "... Among ePharma Physicians interacting with an iPad Rep, 35 percent say they are more likely to request a sample and 29 percent say they are more likely to consider prescribing the drug.
