One of the biggest mistakes healthtech startup founders and innovators make is assuming the beneficiary is always the same as the buyer. The person who benefits from your solution ≠ the person who uses it daily ≠ the person who controls access ≠ the person who pays for it

Key takeaways for innovators ✅ Build for connection, not isolation. ✅ Focus on patient-centred outcomes. ✅ Ecosystems are co-created. Success depends on collaboration between healthcare leaders, technologists, and third-party innovators

The value of a digital health ecosystem ✅ Enables health systems to tap into global innovation—selecting best-fit digital solutions through open platforms rather than building everything in-house. ✅ Supports operational excellence and improved patient experiences.

Healthcare continues to lag behind most industries in leveraging digital technology, despite massive growth in data, devices, and digital health tools.
