The healthcare sector fundamentally differs from other industries, as it comprises a variety of stakeholders who must be on board to introduce new technology solutions. In this episode, we explore the unique aspects of healthcare that VCs must consider and strategies regarding how to best navigate this unique space.
The United States has many challenges that require improvement, like other health systems throughout the world. Historically, these challenges disproportionately impact distressed communities. Many of us are working to solve these challenges by leveraging digital health and health data solutions. But if we do not innovate from a health equity perspective, then we run the risk of designing solutions that are misaligned with the needs and desires of communities. If you want the right resources to advance healthcare innovations that work for all communities, stay updated with the most cutting-edge information with 21st Century Health.
