When Adam Kinnest realised the link between heart rate and fall risk, it unlocked his inner entrepreneur.

Using this link, Adam sought to reduce falls in the elderly and people with low mobility through technology.  With his team he created a prototype device, worn within a sock, to monitor the heart rate of the wearer. The device alerts the wearer if they’re at risk of a fall, potentially saving their life.

MBA a launchpad for entrepreneurial success

Adam’s inherent desire to lead and break the mould, worked to his advantage when he enrolled at Murdoch.  Starting in a nursing program, he soon discovered personal qualities he never realised he possessed. It was the urge to think for himself and his refusal to follow the pack which led him to pursue his passion and take on the challenges and opportunities presented to him at Murdoch. 

This creative learning environment inspired Adam, and the chance to expand his leadership abilities led him to enrol in Murdoch’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.  The program taught him to build the specialist skills needed to become an entrepreneur and to commercialise his ideas. 

“Murdoch is one of the most inclusive universities.  It has the most diverse group of students. We’re working with real industry leaders, using a very holistic way of approaching this particular subject which lends itself well to social learning.” 

“If you’re willing to be open and challenge your perceptions this program would really benefit you.”

- Adam Kinnest
