Key Takeaways- Behavior change in the healthcare industry is particularly challenging because it requires you to understand the compliances and regulations for getting approvals from the FDA along with overcoming resistance to change from already overstretched health workers.
- When you are launching your Healthtech Hustle, it is incredibly important to get specific with the problem that you are trying to solve. Within the healthcare industry, there are hundreds of problems that you can build your product around and so it is important to find your niche and develop relationships with your customers so that they can give you honest feedback.
- When you want to scale your impact, you have to take a step back from everyday problem solving and be able to look at the bigger picture of the potential of your solution and the value that it is bringing. As entrepreneurs, we are naturally built to be curious and focus on the problem at hand but in order to grow your company, you have to prioritize scale.
