Six Skills That Make Medical Doctors Indispensable for Start-Ups

Six Skills That Make Medical Doctors Indispensable for Start-Ups

The start-up scene is increasingly taking on the big challenges in healthcare. This increases the need for a type of doctors for which there is no training, yet. At FoundersLane, we understand that to innovate successfully in the healthcare system, you need both insiders and outsiders. That is partly because there is a large difference between how the system is believed or prescribed to function and how it is really practised at the coalface. That is primarily because the provision of healthcare largely depends on human services. Secondly, healthcare is heavily science-based, requiring additional expertise to manage uncertainty. For example, our increasing understanding of the tremendous role that Social Determinants have on our health outcomes will affect how we think about preventative interventions. And finally, most human-centred design approaches focus primarily on expressed wants of consumers while in medicine, key-value drivers are often the unknown needs of patients.

In medicine, patient's unknown needs drive value, unlike human-centered design that focuses on expressed wants of consumers.
