Richard Little

The idea in investment is to take something and make it more valuable in the future. There are huge gaps in the property supply side and development opportunities are one way of delivering a solution to the need. The real trick is doing it in a sensible way. Ideally where there is some money made by those involved and the risk is minimised along the way. With a good result for the community that the property is located in. However making money and creation of economic value in a property development can be done the hard way or the easy way. It also involves a number of elements that include funding, planning, legals, valuation. All of these have to interact and we get a range of views on this easy to listen to podcast with some of the best in the business: Christine Janaway - a well regarded property businesswoman with skills, qualifications and experience in valuation, leasing. Michael Bristow - CEO of CrowdProperty a leading development finance lender as well as a Fintech VC investor and leader.

Richard Little is a Scottish-born, New Zealand-based engineer behind the invention of game changing neuroscience technologies for paraplegics and sufferers of chronic pain. Richard’s neuroscience journey began more than 20 years ago, inspired by the aftermath of his mother suffering a stroke and his best friend Robbie Irving being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. With his engineering background, Richard embarked on a mission to invent robotic technology that could ease or even stop humanity from the huge toll and suffering.  In 2007, Richard launched REX Bionics – inventing a hands-free robotic ‘exoskeleton’ to aid rehabilitation in walking, standing and exercising for people with severe physical disabilities and mobility impairments. Its successful launch and patient use has led to compelling stories of hope, including paralyzed fathers being able to walk by their daughters’ side on their wedding day. Fast forward nearly 15 years later and today, Richard is the CEO, founder and chief engineer of Exsurgo – an innovative neuroscience company that represents a modern merging of specialties: engineers, clinicians, neuroscientists and computer scientists developing science and technology that enables a re-wiring of a damaged brain to alleviate suffering from some of the world’s biggest health problems, including a condition that’s more prevalent than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined: chronic pain.

Sufferers of chronic pain often experience long waits to see a specialist and can become reliant on heavy, sometimes addictive, drugs - but what if there is another way?Researchers at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and Waitematā District Health Board (DHB) are testing just that.New Zealand-based health tech company Exsurgo has created a medical device, called Axon, which is being tested on 116 chronic pain patients across Auckland.If successful, it could be rolled out to hospitals and medical clinics across the globe by mid-next year.The helmet-like device looked like part of a video game, and in a way it was.Over the past five years, mechanical engineers have developed the helmet combining traditional neuroscience with hi-tech computer science. It allowed patients to see their own brainwaves on a tablet.Patients then engaged in neurological exercises in the form of animated games to encourage them to concentrate on brain movement.Each session took about 35 minutes and sessions were repeated four times a week in the first eight weeks.Exsurgo chief executive Richard Little said initial research showed Axon could change lives and he wanted the device to be made affordable and accessible to all New Zealanders battling chronic pain."We know many people struggle to get help. Chronic pain could cause massive issues with stress, anxiety, sleep and often patients could slip into major depression because they couldn't do the things they loved."Exsurgo chief executive Richard Little wants to make chronic pain treatment more accessible and affordable. Photo / SuppliedOne in five people lived in chronic pain worldwide, and some of those were left unable to enjoy the activities they loved or even continuing working.The crippling condition was understood to be costing New Zealand's health system up to $14.9 billion a year, according to a 2018 report.The device had already been tested on a dozen patients in the UK. Every single person in that trial received some benefit and three-quarters found a greater than 30 per cent improvement which was better than most drugs, Little said."We had a lady with a muscular spinal injury who started horse riding again, it had always been her passion and she hadn't ridden in 20 years," he said."Another woman who hadn't be able to write because she had psoriatic arthritis which causes swelling in the fingers, was finally able to."Little said not only did those patients have less pain but they had less stress and were able to sleep better.UK-based spinal specialist Nick Birch, who had worked in the field for 30 years, saidchronic pain placed a huge toll on patients and their families, and was difficult to manage.UK-based spinal specialist Nick Birch, who had worked in the field for 30 years, said chronic pain placed a huge toll on patients and their families. Photo / Supplied"The results from this trial showed that brain training may provide an easy-to-use, very-low-risk home-based solution for managing chronic pain."However, Canterbury DHB pain medicine physician John Alchin said it was really important not to "count your chickens before they hatch"."It's like expecting to win lotto when you've just paid for your ticket, results aren't in yet and it will take years."He said while he was quick to throw cold water on this research, changing neuropathways through learning and biofeedback was a good idea."This is really exciting research ... my suspicion is in 20 to 50 years' time, not five years away but decades away, you may well get non-invasive external brain stimulation through magnets like this, it's very promising research but it's a long slow process."Alchin said including a placebo controlled group was a crucial part of the research because pain was subjective.Half of the participants in the trial would receive a "sham treatment" and theconsulting clinicians wouldn't know who was and who wasn't receiving the active treatment, Little said."The design of the chr...

.You’ve most likely experienced pain at least once in your life. When you visit a medical doctor for pain relief, they might prescribe you painkillers. Similar to other traditional medical programs, you would find that this is passive. This is because your clinician is trained to treat the pain as a symptom rather than target the underlying cause of it. But fret not. There is a novel neuromodulatory approach that is now being developed by researchers to mitigate chronic pain. This week, Exsurgo CEO Richard Little joins us on Pushing the Limits to explain how neurofeedback technology can revolutionise how we handle chronic pain. Their device is relatively inexpensive and can drastically improve the quality of life of millions of people worldwide.  If you want to know more about how medical innovations are changing the landscape of healthcare, then this episode is for you!   Health Optimisation and Life Coaching  If you are struggling with a health issue and need people who look outside the square and are connected to some of the greatest science and health minds in the world, then reach out to us at support@lisatamati.com, we can jump on a call to see if we are a good fit for you.

Their core mission is to make life easier for patients and clinicians while getting a better result and saving money. Currently, they are in the field of neuroscience. Their products can relieve chronic pain as effectively as prescription drugs but without side effects. [07:27] How the Neurofeedback Device Works Exsurgo specialises in a neurofeedback device that trains the brain not to respond to pain impulses. It was made through the concept of neuroplasticity––the trainability of the brain and its signalling patterns. This device measures electrical activity in the brain related to pain. When connected to a wireless device, these signals are transmitted to a game that rewards you whenever your pain signals go down.  This technology can hopefully be able to counteract the opioid crisis and the drawbacks of pain pills. [14:46] Chronic Pain is a Negative Feedback Loop Pain can cause difficulties in getting quality sleep, which in turn causes anxiety and negative moods. The torture of chronic pain extends to other aspects of patients’ lives.  Richard's company has found that a biochemical and electrical change in the brain also results in positive physical changes. Listen to the full episode to learn the story of a school headmistress who reduced her chronic pain and finger inflammation with Exsurgo’s help!  They are in the process of pushing the boundaries of what current technology can do, as research on chronic pain and inflammation are still lacking. [19:53] Behind Richard’s Innovations Richard's mother had a shocking and sudden stroke. Exurgo initially aimed to handle stroke rehabilitation. Eventually, they pivoted to chronic pain as it was the most significant issue the industry faced at the time. His friend had multiple sclerosis, which affected his ability to walk. So, they set out to build a robotic leg and exoskeleton to help patients' mobility. Over time, many doctors have asked for Richard’s help to build medical devices for their patients. Due to advancements in medical technology, patients’ expectations of health care have increased. However, these innovations typically cost thousands of dollars. [26:49] Exsurgo’s Mission Richard aims to build devices to help both patients and clinicians while remaining relatively inexpensive.  They also use gamification to make their treatment options more appealing to the public. They offer a subscription model for their products so that patients can do their rehab at home. [34:48] Learning About Pain Pain diagnosis is still largely unscientific and arbitrary. However, technology is developing at such a rapid rate. We will soon be able to predict who will experience pain after surgery. We will be able to relieve pain before it happens using neurofeedback. Richard’s company is looking into anxiety, depression, and concussions. Tune in to the full episode to know more about how they plan to apply their research on concussions! [38:59] The Disconnect Between Tech Projects and Medicine The medical technology field is heavily regulated. It costs millions to get products out to the market, making people hesitant to invest in them. Most technologies still fail, so having a burning passion for helping patients is necessary if you want to survive in the field. Shareholder alignment is crucial when it comes to funding medical innovations. [45:50] The Opiate Crisis Due to the opiate crisis, pharmaceutical companies are now recognising that they need to do something different. This issue needs the joint efforts of the private sector and the government to be resolved.  [47:18] Getting their Device to Market  They are currently in clinical trials, which are the value of a company. Exsurgo hopes to launch the product sometime early next year and make it as affordable as possible. They were surprised by the number of people with chronic pain hoping to get a hold of their product. So, they are aiming to keep up on the production side.  Richard shares that he made many mistakes and rode the ups and downs before getting to this point. A crucial piece of his current success is choosing and working with the right investors and clinicians.  [1:00:14] The Technology Behind their Work Brain-computer interfaces are all about understanding the patterns and applying them to solve various medical issues. Every time someone uses their device, they get millions of lines of data. The more data they gather, the more they can improve their technology.  Listen to the full episode to learn exactly how the product works and what the whole team does to develop it! 7 Powerful Quotes from This Episode ‘Our kind of basic mission is to make life easier for clinicians and patients while getting a better result and saving money. If we can do those things, then we've done something fantastic.’ ‘If I can make the clinicians' life easier, and the patient's life easier to fit into both of their workflows, their daily life, while getting a good result and saving money, then we have something that would be worth doing.’ 'We all know what it's like when you have exercises to do by the doctor or the physio, we don't want to do them, you know, so gamification actually really helps with that.' ‘It'd be easier to give up than it would be to keep going, I'm sure in a lot of the things that you do. It's that passion, and it's a drive, and it's that connection to the patients, once you see it, you can't unsee it.’ ‘Make lots of mistakes. Keep trying. You don't start off on that journey. I wasn't sitting on an oil rig one day, and I knew I'm going to build some medical device companies.’ 'The patients are too important. I couldn't live with myself if I gave up on this journey because patients are going to suffer.’ ‘There's a brilliant team behind all of this, you know, there's so many specialties and so many different things. They're all driven by that same passion to actually help people at the end of the day, and it will affect millions, 10s of millions of people's lives over the next coming years.’ About Richard Richard Little is an innovator, entrepreneur, engineer, and roboticist.
