The Idea: Can we create a platform to unlock the power of medical research at the point of care? Listen as Mitesh shares the story of Docphin.
Failures: Docphin started expanding quickly with an initial web-based platform. With the promise of mobile and launch of the iPhone, they changed directions to focus on a mobile offering.
Lesson Learned: Solve a problem and don’t get tied down by a specific solution.
Best Advice: Know your customer and build ‘a must’ not a ‘nice to have’ solution.

Healthcare Trends:
1) Healthcare has shifted outside of the four wall of the hospital with changing incentives and risks.
2) Wellness incentives are increasing which creates exciting opportunities for reward/penalties to drive behavior change.
3) Behavior economics will allow us to design financial and social incentives to motive people to be more healthy.
