Inspirational Case Studies
My name is Matt, I’m the Origin Concept Creator & Founder and co-inventor of the airway securing innovation device: LEAFix. I’m also a practicing NHS Physician’s Assistant in Anaesthesia, having worked in the operating theatre environment for over 20 years.
I’ve created MED-INNOVATE, which is dedicated to shining a light on that first vital phase of any innovation project: spotting the problem and what next? First up I share my LEAFix origin founder innovation story (OFIS), the first of many Origin founder stories that will be shared here as the community grows.

Thought provoking
Through discussion & information the aim here is to highlight & understand why people develop their innovative ideas. Where does that inspiration come from and what are the factors that drive people through the trials and tribulations that come with any innovation endeavour?
Support & barriers to beginning
Many Origin Innovators never get out of the blocks with their ideas. What are the mental barriers putting people off, their first small actions, emotional support, how to observe problems better, how to live with the unknowns at the start. I know exactly what it feels like to be stuck in no-mans land with an idea that you are certain could be developed into a solution, having been there for over 10 years. I passionately want to share what I learned the hard way to hopefully help you push on and navigate your way forwards with your own ideas.
