Integrating Tech Within Diverse Health Systems


Listen Later

The Brilliance phototherapy device has touched the lives of over 1 million neonates with jaundice. Their trick? Probing deep into health systems to ask:

  • Who are the people and institutions providing care to underserved communities?
  • What does it take to earn their trust?
  • How do we embolden health workers to use their skills to the fullest?
  • In Part 2 of this series spotlighting neonatal health technologies designed for low-resource settings, I welcome Krishnakumar Sankaranarayanan (KK), former MD of Equalize Health India. Join us as we uncover the technology and market strategy behind the successful adoption of Brilliance phototherapy device.

    Along the way, we explore the cost-quality tradeoff in engineering and why pharma giants haven’t been able to bridge the accessible tech gap just yet.
