Intro.

0:00

Greetings

0:47

Please tell us about your journey as a digital health entrepreneur. How it started and how it’s going?

1:58

Let’s start with Remedy Health. Could you please explain what the startup was about?

2:59

Remedy Health - a 17-year chapter of your life. Let’s have a short reflection on Remedy Health - your thoughts on that adventure, are you satisfied with how it ended? Tell us your thoughts.

4:01

What you change anything if you could come back in time?

5:38

Lead us through your decision-making process when you pivoted the whole company.

6:38

Have you ever had thoughts like we are going to go bankrupt and it's not going to work?

7:32

I know that you were successful in attracting attention from some big names in the market - Medtronic, IBM, American Heart Association, and many others. How difficult was it and how much time did it take to actually close the contract from the initial conversation?

8:47

What would be your recommendation for small startups on how to approach big corporations to work with them?

9:47

Did you follow the destiny of the company after you left?

10:44

Did you have an exit strategy from day 1?

12:50

What happened after you left OptimizeRX?

13:50

What is Twig Health?

14:35

Does your previous experience help you in the new venture?

18:40

In one of our recent videos we posted on our channel about Trends in digital health in 2024, one of the trends we think finally become obvious - is outsourcing development outside of the US. Since remote work is a new norm, hiring a team of developers in the US financially doesn’t make as much sense as before. But there are still founders who think it’s too risky in terms of regulations, HIPAA, etc. You’ve been using outsourcing for many many years. Can you break the myth that you only need to have an onsite team to develop HIPAA-compliant software?

20:45

Tell us the secret of how to become successful in digital health?

22:50

Any other recommendations to startup founders?
