  • great motivation for health tech founders

    Discovered this podcast after hearing Dr Somauroo on the Big Picture Medicine podcast. Loved his advice for healthcare entrepreneurs on finding problems in the hospital to tackle and how he got started fixing printers for his colleagues. As a former software engineer and indie hacker doc we’re hoping to build something worth interviewing sometime. Great interviews and guests!

#438: Does design matter more than tech in healthcare?
Q: Aide Health, the company, what inspired its founding and the initial focus on adherence to medication?
The founder had personal experience with asthma and saw the gap in how results were communicated back to clinicians; he built a simple Excel-based tool to track adherence, sleep, diet, and symptoms, which demonstrated potential and inspired the formal start of Aide to improve adherence across therapies with a broader platform.
