How to Get Users to Fall in Love with Your Product: Interview with SafKan Health CEO Sahil Diwan

In this episode of Medsider Radio, we had a spirited conversation with Sahil Diwan, CEO of SafKan Health. Sahil's company is developing the OtoSet, the first automated and FDA-cleared ear-cleaning device. With a background in computer science from the University of Oregon, Sahil's entrepreneurial journey began early. He was already coding at the age of 16 and building startups during his college years. Sahil’s venture into medical technology was inspired by his brother Aadil's struggle with impacted earwax.In this interview, we talk about consumer-driven medtech, the power of design, garnering experience from real-world data, focusing on building the business before fundraising, and how OtoSet went viral on social media. Before we dive into the discussion, I wanted to mention a few things:First, if you’re into learning from medical device and health technology founders and CEOs, and want to know when new interviews are live, head over to Medsider.com and sign up for our free newsletter.Second, if you want to peek behind the curtain of the world's most successful startups, you should consider a Medsider premium membership.
