With specific reference tо оur clаss reаdings аnd discussiоns, please answer the following question in upto 200 words.Susana Acosta is the CEO of SmartBrush, a VC-backed company that seeks to disrupt the dental hygiene market through a state-of-the-art toothbrush which, in addition to cleaning your teeth, uses sensors to monitor cavities and gum health,and then sends that data directly to your dentist. The company has completed a proof-of-concept study which showed the device works “reasonably well,” accurately transmitting patient data to the dentist 80 percent of the time. Susana is considering launching SmartBrush in either Country A or Country B. Her VP of Sales, Mark, says SmartBrush should launch in Country A because it has five times the population. SmartBrush has also recently obtained a patent in Country A that Susana’s intellectual property attorney has described as “very strong.” Based on these factors, Mark estimates Year 1 sales of the SmartBrush in Country A should reach $100 million, nearly three times as high as his estimate for Year 1 Sales in Country B. Susana, who prides herself on her preparation and honesty, has learned that the SmartBrush is considered a “medical device” which would require regulatory approval in Country A before sales can be made there. She has been advised regulatory approval will take 24 months. Mark says this doesn’t make sense because he is aware of another smart brush already on the market that never received regulatory approval in Country A. The health regulators in Country B likewise consider the SmartBrush to be a medical device requiring prior approval. However, an exemption from registration exists for companies whose total revenues fall below $25 million. Susana discussed the possibility of launching in Country B through this exemption with one of her VC-backers, but the VC was not at all receptive to the idea, saying “We invested in you to hit home runs, not singles.” Without this exemption, fullregulatory approval would take 18 months, but the VC said he had a contact at the health authority in Country B who could expedite the regulatory approval if SmartBrush would only make a contribution to the official’s favorite charity. Complicating matters, Susana has learned that the most famous dentist in Country B plans to launch a campaign against SmartBrush because she believes the transmission of the health data from device to dentist is not secure. “I don’t want my Gingivitis shared all over the internet for the World to see and nor should you”, the Dentist was quoted in a front-page article in the leading newspaper in country B.What issues are raised by this case and what should Susana do?
