This week, Kerry Amato speaks with Naomi Fried, the founder and CEO of PharmStars , the first and only pharma-focused accelerator for digital health startups, dedicated to driving digital health adoption to improve patient outcomes. PharmStars understands and addresses the challenges that pharma and startups face when seeking to collaborate. Their PharmaU program supports the digital health startups and pharma members seeking to “bridge the gap,” leading to greater success and faster adoption of “beyond the molecule” solutions for patients. Kerry and Naomi discuss the importance of a pharma-specific accelerator in the digital health space while highlighting the groundbreaking work PharmStars is doing to advance the field.  Applications for participation in the first cohort are due July 21, 2021.
