Abstract
The lecture is inspired by a popular Danish story where the quest for the latest and best bespoke fashion is busted by a little boy who dares to speak the truth.

The focus of the lecture will be on three broad principles -
Understanding conceptual shift in patient preferences on appliances and reasons thereof.
Original data and number crunching that we can take to the clinical floors.
