Women in Healthtech

A few weeks ago I sat down with Behavioral Health Tech to chat about my experience transitioning from the clinical side to digital health and advice for anyone considering the pivot. Throughout the interview, we covered: ✨Why scale and impact are the top motivators that drive individuals into the digital health space. ✨Why business acumen is key for clinical leaders to be successful in digital health roles. ✨How WELL acts as a main resource for women pivoting into the digital health technology industry. ✨The importance of networking when making the leap into this space. ✨And lots more! You can read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eMMbDvBK Have other advice or tidbits I may have left out? Sha're in the comments section below.

We're working on something exciting in women's health and building our founding team. Would love introductions to stellar operators who are passionate about the space who excel in a startup environment. Please DM me with any recommendations. Thanks!

Extraordinary female clinicians and scientists in digital health....this one's for you. I know some of y'all connected with me and follow my work as a result of my stint creating a DTx as the CEO of MindCure.....so it feels important to continue to share about the exemplary things I tune into in the digital health space. I believe fiercely in Dr. Clare Purvis and her work.....especially how she is leading women to advance, have their vision supported, voices heard. If you are looking for a community of badass women who REALLY lean in to deliver on their own dreams and those of the organizations they commit to....this is the sign you have been waiting for. ;)
