About Me

Healthcare Leader & Innovator, Educator, Medical Director, Psychiatrist When I first began medical school, my idea was simple: as a physician, I would be able to innovate in healthcare as an “insider” and circumvent many of the problems that my fellow medical device designers were facing as they tried to bridge the gap with clinicians. In that simplistic logic I was horribly mistaken. I had chosen to specialize in healthcare innovation because at the time it seemed so ripe for good design – but I came to learn that it is not for a lack of valiant and brilliant efforts to do just that. This is an inherently difficult space to innovate in, for a myriad reasons - cultural and systemic barriers, and regulatory bodies to name a few.

Interested in solutions for:
