Building Healthcare Solutions That Actually Work

We connect clinicians with MedTech and HealthTech founders during product development—so solutions are built with real clinical input, not assumptions.

The Problem We're Solving

Too many healthcare innovations are built in isolation. MedTech and HealthTech founders spend years developing products based on limited clinical input—maybe conversations with one or two doctors, or assumptions about how hospitals operate. They invest significant time and money getting regulatory approvals, building prototypes, and going to market.

Then reality hits: the product doesn't fit actual workflows. Hospitals don't see the value. Clinicians find it impractical. Adoption is slow or nonexistent.

On the clinical side: Doctors who want to contribute to healthcare innovation don't have structured pathways to do so. They see problems daily that technology could solve, but they're disconnected from the people building solutions.

The Gap is Clear

Innovators need clinical validation.

Clinicians need a way to shape solutions.

Hospitals need products that actually work.

Why This Matters

For MedTech and HealthTech Founders:

Building products without continuous clinical input is expensive guesswork.

  • Faster product-market fit
  • Solutions designed for actual workflows, not idealized ones
  • Understanding what hospitals will actually pay for
  • Validation from the people who'll use your product
  • Access to pilot environments and decision-makers

For Clinicians:

You see inefficiencies, but are disconnected from people building technology.

  • Direct influence on products being built for Indian healthcare
  • Advisory roles and meaningful contributions beyond clinical practice
  • Financial participation opportunities in some cases
  • Being part of solutions that improve care delivery at scale

For Healthcare:

The benefit of adopting better, clinically-validated technology.

  • When clinicians and innovators work together from the start, better products get built.
  • Solutions that understand ground realities.
  • Tools that fit into existing workflows.
  • Technology that hospitals actually adopt.

This saves resources, improves outcomes, and accelerates innovation that matters.

How We're Doing This

Currently: Early Stage & Ad-Hoc

Right now, we're facilitating connections on a case-by-case basis. When a MedTech or HealthTech founder reaches out, we connect them with relevant clinicians and hospital teams willing to provide input during development.

This includes:

  • Workflow observations and feedback sessions
  • Pilot testing in real hospital environments (government hospitals, private hospitals, nursing homes)
  • Clinical advisory on product design and use cases
  • Validation of whether solutions solve actual problems

What's Next: Discovery Platform

We're building a more structured platform where:

Clinicians create profiles

highlighting their specialization, areas of interest (AI, diagnostics, care delivery models, hospital operations), and what kinds of innovation projects they want to contribute to.

Innovators post projects

describing what they're building, what stage they're at, and what clinical input they need—early concept validation, workflow feedback, pilot partners, regulatory guidance.

Managed matching

We facilitate introductions based on relevance, track collaborations, and help structure partnerships with clear expectations.

This isn't a freelance marketplace. It's a curated ecosystem where meaningful collaboration happens—with quality control, structured frameworks, and focus on building solutions that work in India's healthcare context.

Who Should Get Involved

For Clinicians:

You're a good fit if you:

  • Have interest in healthcare technology and innovation
  • Want to contribute beyond clinical practice
  • See problems in your daily work that technology could solve
  • Are willing to provide honest, practical feedback to founders
  • Want advisory roles or deeper involvement in product development

Specialties we're especially looking for:

All clinical areas, plus doctors with experience in hospital operations, quality management, digital health, or insurance processes.

For MedTech & HealthTech Founders:

You're a good fit if you:

  • Are building solutions for Indian healthcare (diagnostics, care delivery, hospital operations, patient engagement, etc.)
  • Want real clinical validation, not just assumptions
  • Are willing to iterate based on ground-level feedback
  • Need pilot partners or hospital access
  • Value building something that actually gets adopted

We work with early-stage startups, incubator-backed teams, and established companies piloting new products.
