Introducing new technology in the healthcare sector can be a challenge, especially when trying to balance innovation and practical application. 

Startups developing products for a complex ecosystem, like a hospital, may not fully understand the needs of providers on the frontlines and all the dynamics at play. A successful tool should not only address a need but also make it possible for providers to integrate into their workflow seamlessly.  

To help unpack this, Fierce Healthcare’s Anastassia Gliadkovskaya spoke to Kevin Baumlin, M.D., at the University City Science Center, where he helps founders refine their products and find the right fit within health systems. Baumlin knows firsthand that a meaningful development and implementation process includes providers from the get-go. He breaks down what this type of partnership ideally looks like and gives examples of collaboration in action.
