The Role of Doctors at Digital Health Startups with Sven Jungmann The #HCBiz Show!
-
- Business
What is the role of a doctor at a digital health startup? Why are they needed? What jobs will they do? How do you find one? And how can you tell if they will be a fit for your team?
If you’re a doctor considering this move, you may have similar questions in reverse. What will it be like to be a “digital doctor”? How can I find opportunities? What new skills will I need to develop? How can I tell if the digital health startup I’m looking at has a shot?
On this episode we talk with Sven Jungmann. He’s a medical doctor with additional degrees in Public Health, Public Policy, and entrepreneurship. He’s the Chief Medical Officer at FoundersLane in Berlin, Germany, where he advises digital health startups, and helps align other doctors with startups too. I can’t think of anyone more qualified to discuss this topic with!
You’ll learn:
Why many digital health startups really do need a doctor on their team. What the transition is like when moving from practicing medicine to the startup world. The drawbacks to doing this if you’re a doctor. Six skills that make medical doctors indispensable for startups What a non-clinical founder should do to bring themselves closer to the medical side. That the problems in the U.S healthcare system are not unique when it comes to a lack of prevention and woefully inadequate data sharing. Why Corporate Venture Building is a powerful way to drive innovation.
We also discuss Sven’s new book, FightBack NOW: Leveraging your assets to shape the new normal and his work at FoundersLane.
