Code Blue for Tech: The Case for Clinician-Led Startups

In the Code Blue for Tech: The Case for Clinician-Led Startups episode of Planetary Health First Mars Next, Michael Mann, MHA, engages with an expert panel to discuss the critical importance of clinician involvement in healthtech startups. Panelists include Andrew Lundquist, Clinical Director and Chief Medical Officer at Mankato Clinic; Adam Glasofer, MD, MSHI, Founder and Principal at Vertex Health; and Brendan Keeler, Interoperability & Data Liquid Practice Lead at HTD Health. The discussion emphasizes how clinician-led startups are better equipped to design products that align with real clinical workflows, ensure data interoperability, navigate regulatory challenges, and build trust with healthcare providers. The conversation serves as a compelling argument for why having a clinician at the table from day one is essential for the success and scalability of healthtech ventures.
