Dr. Ahmad’s clinical philosophy reflects the wisdom of the Greek physician Hippocrates: it is more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has.

“Our bodies are a unique function of both our genetics and our environment. I am committed to understanding each individual’s differences, getting to know the patient behind the illness, and providing the best treatment with therapy, medication and nutrition.”

Chart the Course

Triad knows you are looking to collect as much information as you can about your competitors.  One of our favorite Sun Tzu quotes is “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”  This is particularly fitting for competitive intelligence.  In order to be as strategic as possible, we encourage our clients to take stock of their own potential. We then work with them to figure out what questions we really need to answer about their competition, to make a difference in their future planning.  When you ask a question, you should know what you will do with the answer.

Light the Way

Triad views our process as highly interactive. We want to communicate with you throughout the project, so that as intelligence is gathered, it can be processed and redirected. Key Intelligence Topics get revisited regularly to make sure we are asking the best questions to the most knowledgeable sources.

Make it happen

With a well-designed research plan, a diverse contact list, and highly skilled analysts, Triad will confidently present you with the most insightful intelligence attainable. Since the process includes mapping out your strategy early on, our reports can deliver concise and actionable findings to help you and your team put your brand on the right path forward.

IUSL /Physics Dept. Outcome in Biophotonics Developed at the City University of New York and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Advanced Vein Visualization, AVV-1 provides a superior illumination and visualization of a patient's veins in both the arm and hand.  The AVV-1 has been designed to help a medical practitioner or nurse to accomplish the task of inserting a needle for an IV or blood draw in a more efficient, timely and safe manner. This will help minimize patient and practitioner stress, treatment delays, and infections from failed attempts. Vein illumination is particularly important when the patient is obese, very young, aged and/or has dark skin. Hopefully, the AVV-1 will soon be on the market at blood test centers and hospitals.

The Advanced Vein Visualization instrument is based on basic research conducted and patented by Robert Alfano and Stavros Demos at the Institute for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers (IUSL) of The City College of New York (CCNY). Their research was assisted by Michele Alfano-Berwanger
