Health Innovation Summit
The key takeaway are: Anne DeGheest | 25 January 2012 Sculley: Domain expertise just as critical as technology in healthcareAs Sculey pointed out " Domain expertise just as critical as technology in healthcare". In order to succeed in the new digital health space, entrepreneurs need three sets of expertise: healthcare, technology and consumer engagement. Most entrepreneurs are coming from the technology side with little understanding of the complexity of the healthcare workflow and regulatory oversights. It is critical for entrepreneurs to understand the pain points of all the different stakeholders and design of value proposition for their products that meets the needs of all the healthcare players ...and the consumers. This is why I founded HealthTech capital, an ecosystem of Angel investors that brings those three sets of expertise to the entrepreneurs we invest in and mentor.
