HaloHealth’s Post

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of startups and corporates, witnessing firsthand how startups push the boundaries of what’s possible. From tackling real-world problems with cutting-edge technology to transforming entire industries, these innovators are the catalyst of change - and the healthcare sector is no exception. So I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be speaking at the Digital Health Festival 2025 Australia’s Digital Health Sector has grown into a dynamic ecosystem, with startups at the forefront of this transformation. We’ve seen incredible progress with innovations such as AI-driven diagnostics, telehealth solutions, wearable technologies, and digital therapeutics. These technologies are not just improving patient outcomes but also revolutionizing how healthcare is delivered and accessed across the country. However, the journey from startup to scaleup is no easy feat, especially in a heavily regulated industry like healthcare. The ability to navigate these challenges, adapt to compliance needs, and form partnerships with larger players is crucial to success. At DHF25, I’ll be diving into these very topics, sharing lessons learned from working with the next generation of healthcare disruptors: - How startups are reshaping healthcare with breakthrough solutions - Scaling from startup to scaleup - the unique challenges and strategies in this critical journey - How corporates can partner with startups to adopt and integrate innovation faster - The future of health tech and what’s on the horizon for both startups and established players I'm excited to be representing Fishburners and joining some of Australia's best leaders and executives in the Healthcare space from companies such CSIRO, St Vincent's Health Australia, Victorian Department of Health, The Royal Children's Hospital, Everlab, NSW Health, Oracle Health, Ramsay Health Care, Monash University, Healthscope just to name a few Grab your tickets in the link in comments 🔗 #fishburners #DHF #DHF25 #health #startups #innovation #tech #healthtech #digitalhealth #keynote #ceo #leadership

I headed to the Plug and Play Health Expo yesterday for a dose of inspiration from other health tech startups and I wasn’t disappointed. The event showcased the first Health Plug and Play accelerator cohort - a diverse group of innovators across the health spectrum. First, from the panel, top 5 tips for startups when approaching corporate innovation partners:  1. Find the decision makers in the corporate partner  2. Really know your value prop 3. Explore multiple angles 4. Be prepared for it to take time 5. Be flexible Next, what VCs look for in health tech startups: 1. Excellent team 2. Huge impact 3. A clear plan to exit 4. Understanding of the impact of their solution on the rest of the value chain  5. Solving one problem well The event saw some awesome pitches from the Plug and Play cohort: Anathem, CardioSignal by Precordior, DDM Health, Impli Limited, INOCARDIA LIMITED, MICA Biosystems, NovaBleep, PingBit Health Limited PragmaClin Research Inc., R.grid, Sensora Health, Skyfarer® LTD, Vivan Therapeutics. Not being a clinician or into deep health tech, some of the innovation may be been a too deep to fully grasp in a 5 minute pitch 👱♀️. However, my favourite businesses / pitches from this lot were MICA, Impli and Research Grid. It was fab to catch up with Amber Hill, from Research Grid, a game changer in clinical trials. This is the second time I’ve seen Amber’s awesome pitch now… I know she and her team will do well. You never know when you’re going to meet people with life changing ideas. Magdalena Karlikowska’s Cytecom is one such business. Cytecom shortens the time to diagnose bacterial infections. As a sepsis survivor, I know how ‘life or death’ this is. While my own startup Eatiful is boldly and proudly D2C and plans not to work through healthcare-with- a-capital-H, yesterday’s event certainly raised some interesting possibilities for us in terms of partnerships. Definitely worth the trip to Birmingham.

Strategic partnerships are a hugely under-rated asset for growth within any industry but especially within healthtech. The complexity of getting to market and getting in front of potential customers is daunting, and the more you can do that together with partners, who understands the sector and have long established relationships, the better it potentially is for you and your startup. That the model works was shared yesterday at a super well attended MedTech Meetup at Health Tech Hub Copenhagen. Guided by the awesome Henriette Schultz Kirkegaard, Erik S. Poulsen of Cortrium, Peter Ulvskjold of Radiobotics and Frederik Petursson Madsen of Cirqle Biomedical shared what strategic partnerships has done and is doing for the growth of their MedTech startups. As someone who has for more than 20 years worked with creating and optimizing strategic partnerships and having seen first hand the value it can bring, it was great to see how more and more are catching on to the opportunities from this way of doing and growing business. I am fully convinced approaches like this is the way to go if we are to push all the great innovation happening within HealthTech out there where it matters and creates positive outcomes for patients. #healthtech #medtech #strategicpartnerships #knowledgesharing #meetup #founders
