- Entrepreneurship
In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Viral Patel, CEO of Radish Health, an innovative healthcare platform that’s raised over $5 Million in funding, about why, when it comes to healthcare, you can’t go wrong with convenience, consistency and comprehensive coverage. An addition to client’s existing healthcare options, Radish Health helps people build longer-term relationships with specific doctors and increase the efficiency of providers’ delivery mechanisms, reducing costs and distributing the burden of care where it’s possible to do the most immediate good.
We also speak about exactly what led Viral to leave behind a career in medicine and move into the technology space, what he had to learn about marketing and sales once he assumed his role as CEO, how Radish Health goes about solving some of the most perennial problems of user experience and limited capacity to improve the customer experience, and why, if they get it right, soon everyone will be able to feel like they have a doctor in the family.
Topics Discussed:
Viral’s transition from Medical Director to startup Founder, and what he had to learn about life in his new position
How intelligent, insured people’s troubles accessing health insurance helped inspire Radish Health’s unique software offering
Why improving accessibility can benefit everyone involved in the process, from cheaper, higher quality services to those who need care, to a lower-cost deliver mechanism for providers
Why an established relationship improves the efficiency of any long-term health provision plan, avoiding repetitive tasks and focusing on outcomes
Why convenience and consistency are often just as crucial to any healthcare experience as the direct interaction with the doctor itself
How sometimes rising above the background market noise is as simple as having a truly great product or service
