Improving Workforce Skills: Supporting the Development Pathway For Emerging Digital Health Entrepreneurs

For this episode, we explore and navigate the development pathway for emerging digital health entrepreneurs with our REDI partner, ANDHealth, Australia’s national digital health initiative.  Supported by MTPConnect’s REDI initiative, ANDHealth is providing a range of popular bespoke training programs to build commercialisation capabilities for founders, whether they are medical professionals, software specialists or business owners.ANDHealth CEO & Managing Director Bronwyn Le Grice is joined by Macuject Founder Dr Devinder Chauhan to chat about the bespoke ANDHealth training programs designed to build commercialisation capabilities for founders in the rapidly growing digital health space. Bronwyn discusses why ANDHealth’s programs address common pitfalls and knowledge gaps that exist for digital health companies. As a retinal ophthalmologist Devinder explains how professional development designed just for digital health entrepreneurs helped him grow from a medical expert to a medical innovator.  He shares lessons learned by participating in ANDHealth’s three-week Masterclass Program, and how it’s changed his approach and mindset when seeking investors and managing his company. Macuject’s research, developing a software to help doctors make treatment decisions for macular disease, is supported by MTPConnect’s BioMedTech Horizons program, an initiative of the Medical Research Future Fund.
