Founders Forum Group’s Post

🚀 Last Tuesday, I had the opportunity to attend the VIC branch event of the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH) on the topic "To start up or not: Exploring health system and startup relationships." The panel discussion featured insightful speakers including Michael Franco, Deepak Biswal, Tim Fazio and Danielle Bancroft. Key takeaways included: Big Picture Thinking: When developing solutions for healthcare challenges, startups should focus on how their solutions fit into the broader healthcare ecosystem. Focused Growth: Early-stage startups should avoid overextending into multiple geographical areas and product lines. Commercialization Models: It's crucial for startups to have a strong commercialization model rather than relying on government or external funds. Strategic Partnerships: Selecting the right partners and champions is essential for success. Funding Models: Current funding models are a significant barrier to innovation and digital transformation in healthcare. Clinical Governance: A critical factor for startups entering the government healthcare setting. A big thank you to the panelists and audience for their valuable insights and questions! #DigitalHealth #Startup #HealthcareInnovation #AIDH #HealthTech #Entrepreneurship
