Investing in Transformative Digital Healthcare Solutions with Dr. Justin Norden GSR Ventures

Dr. Justin Norden is a Partner at GSR Ventures, a healthcare technology-focused venture fund investing in early-stage companies that are leveraging emerging technology to drive transformative changes in healthcare for all patients.   Justin explains, "Digital health has been, I think, a long journey for companies really trying to find things that we know should work, that we've seen work in other aspects of business where technologies really transformed how we do things. Even though that technology has been possible, it really hasn't touched healthcare until many would argue, very recently." "Many companies that came in, either starting around 2010 or even through 2015, were a lot of the similar ideas that we're seeing today, there just wasn't the adoption. We didn't see patients being ready to adopt these technologies. Largely, even though some patients tried to adopt them, the providers weren't ready, providers weren't ready to deal with that data or willing to connect or spend time with the patients using these new technologies." "In terms of how my background fits into how I look at companies today, I think one of the things that's very clear is if you go through medical training with a computer science background, you're continually banging your head against the wall saying why are we doing this repeatable task? Why are we using fax machines?" #GSRVentures #DigitalHealth #MobileHealth #HealthTech #Healthcare #VirtualHealthcare #VentureCapital #HealthTechDeals GSRVenturesus.com Download the transcript here Download the transcript here
