Visionary Executive | Growth and Innovation | Product Strategy | Venture Capital | MedTech | Consulting | Fractional Leadership
There is an estimated $200B market opportunity that nobody seems to have a solution for. Market size is a leading factor in determining whether an idea is worth pursuing and digital health notoriously has much smaller market sizes than other life science investment opportunities. A good market size in MedTech and digital health must be north of $500M for your mainstream investors to be interested. If you have a market size that is north of $1B, then you have a much more interesting investment opportunity. Tens of billions market sizes doesn't really exist for medical device. But there is one market that is estimated to be around $200B, which is nearly double the entire digital health market, that doesn't seem to have anyone's interest that I can see, let alone a solution...and thats the market of healthcare fraud. I believe there are a few of reasons for this: 1. It is a very hard problem to solve. But at that size, isn't it worth working on? 2. The amount is actually very small, relative to the overall revenues in the category. 3. There is no exit opportunity, because 'success' is savings rather than revenues which theoretically would reduce the amount paid by everyone in the system...and may discredit premium increases. I don't think fraud is always the crooked doctor that just wants to make some extra cash. I think it is every single entity along the way that does not add value, but wants to take a piece of revenue whenever a patient happens to seek out care. And as a society, we allow this to happen! We sign up for paying tens of thousands of dollars every year just for the ability to pay a $25 copay. That 'luxury' we all pay for feeds the system, feeds the fraud and cycles back into higher and higher costs. The solution? Well I'm not arrogant enough to say I have the solution. But I believe that it starts with awareness, empowerment and in helping individuals find health solutions in a far more efficient manner. We figure that out, then I believe that would address much of the $200B fraud market naturally. #jpm2024 #healthcare #medtech #healthtech NHCAA INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH CARE FRAUD PREVENTION INC https://lnkd.in/gTgRti_J

Cyberattacks continue to be one of the greatest threats to healthcare organizations, providers, and patients. Awareness amongst clinicians and other healthcare workers is a key step in the mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery to such events. #cyberattacks #healthcare #disastermedicine #cyberdisastermedicine
Excited our submission “The Impact of Cyberthreats on Health Systems” underwent a double-blind peer review process and was accepted as a poster presentation for the Global Health Security Conference at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) in June 2024. Cyberthreats pose significant risks to population health, as they can lead to the compromise of critical healthcare systems, patient data breaches, disruption of medical services but the extent of the psychosocial, financial, reputational and physical health impact is still poorly researched and understood.

The recent cyberattack on Change Healthcare, a cornerstone of our healthcare system, has left me deeply saddened and angered. The breach has not only disrupted vital services but erected monumental barriers for patients and healthcare providers, severely impacting prescriptions, patient care, and the overall operations of healthcare services. As someone who dedicates every day to championing patient rights and striving to make healthcare more accessible, equitable, safer, and less intimidating, witnessing such reckless disregard for human well-being is heart-wrenching. These are not mere inconveniences; they are significant blows to the safety and well-being of countless individuals who depend on the reliability and integrity of our healthcare systems. The sorrow I feel for the patients and healthcare teams caught in the wake of this selfish act of cyber aggression is immense. It's a stark reminder of the fragility of our interconnected world and the real human costs of such thoughtless actions. Yet, it only strengthens my resolve to stand up, fight back, and continue advocating for those whose voices need amplification. We are facing a blatant breakdown in humanity, where the sanctity of healthcare is under attack. But let me be clear: for every attempt to undermine our healthcare system, there are legions of us ready to rise, undeterred, to repair the damage and fortify our defenses. Our commitment to the cause of patient advocacy is unwavering, driven by a steadfast dedication to overcoming obstacles and ensuring a safer, more equitable healthcare experience for everyone. For the sake of every patient, every healthcare worker, and the integrity of healthcare itself, I vow to continue this fight. To champion the cause of patients everywhere, to advocate for the security and accessibility of care, and to ensure that such acts of cyber violence do not go unchallenged. Our journey is far from easy, but it's one we undertake with determination and hope for a better, more resilient future. #PatientAdvocacy #HealthcareSolidarity #Resilience #EquitableHealthcare #VoiceForPatients
