Entrepreneurship and investing for medical devices, with Andrew Heuerman

Andrew Heuerman, entrepreneur and CEO of The Patient Company, describes his journey into researching, analyzing, and building medical devices for the healthcare community. In this episode, Brian Anderson interviews Andrew Heuerman, an entrepreneur and current CEO of <a href="https://thepatientcompany.com/">The Patient Company</a>, which has recently been in the news for raising $1 million in seed round funding. Andrew’s interest in healthcare stems from his parents’ occupations, and he quickly developed a passion for small business startups, as well. Three years into his undergraduate education in pre-med, he discovered he preferred the business side of healthcare over being a practicing clinician. As he pursued these new interests, he wandered into some product development and business classes—eventually landing an internship (and later, a job) with West Michigan-based <a href= "https://www.spectrumhealth.org/">Spectrum Health. </a> Andrew credits the talented people he was surrounded by at Spectrum for providing learning and experimental opportunities. While at Spectrum, he was part of a team that vetted 2,000+ medical device and product ideas each year from staff. He learned to ask important questions about cost of development and pathway to market. Having thousands of clinicians at his team’s hands also provided a fantastic testing ground to explore exciting new product ideas. Andrew continues on to discuss the process of convincing investors to support your projects, and how to use regional and national grants to supplement the costs. He then shares how he transitioned to starting and leading The Patient Company. Initially, Andrew had been working with a lateral patient transfer idea that safely moves patients without injuring clinicians. Eventually, there was a clear path for Andrew to move the product forward outside of Spectrum Health—since healthcare systems can’t sell medical devices back into their own systems. For those interested in learning more about Andrew’s work, visit <a href= "https://thepatientcompany.com/">thepatientcompany.com</a>. There, clinicians can review the technology or reach out to ask more questions about SimPull, the lateral patient transfer device.

Featuring Dr. Kyle Hoedebecke, Medical Director of Oscar Health

What is the future of healthcare technology? In this episode of Augusto Digital Insights’ healthcare series, Brian Anderson interviews Dr. Kyle Hoedebecke, Medical Director of <a href="https://www.hioscar.com/">Oscar Health</a>—the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a relentless focus on serving its members. In this episode, Brian Anderson interviews Dr. Kyle Hoedebecke, Medical Director of <a href= "https://www.hioscar.com/">Oscar Health</a>—the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a relentless focus on serving its members. The company offers a unique virtual care experience from the comfort of your home, at work, or on-the-go—by video chat or phone. Kyle is also an angel investor and a mentor with a focus on healthcare technology, like wearables, AI, AR/VR, 3D-printing, bio-pharma, and more. He didn’t take a traditional physician’s path, but rather started at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. From there, he was part of the lucky 1% of his class that got to go directly to medical school at the Uniformed Services University. Kyle specialized in family medicine, before traveling throughout about 120 countries. Along the way, he picked up 3 additional languages: German, Spanish, and Guarani—an indigenous language from Paraguay. While in South Korea, Kyle earned master’s degrees in business administration, public administration, and telemedicine. Now, at Oscar Health, he’s able to follow his passion of innovation within healthcare startups. The company calls itself half technology, half insurance. They provide free telemedicine to all Oscar members and a concierge service to help members process claims or get a specialty referral. Kyle’s personal goal is to make our healthcare system better for everyone through technology and improved systems. So he has become an angel investor for health technology. He shares about a 3D printer for pharmaceuticals, calling it “a pharmacy from anywhere you want.” He believes this can be incredibly helpful for remote areas or during natural disasters. Brian and Kyle also discuss a variety of wearable technology—like smartwatches and portable stethoscopes—that can facilitate healthcare in areas with too few physicians. We’re grateful for Dr. Kyle Hoedebecke’s time on the Augusto Health IT podcast and wish him the best of luck in all his endeavors.

Featuring Nathan Baar, Founder of HealthBar

How a former Emergency Room nurse and director formed an innovative, a la carte healthcare company called HealthBar. Featuring Nathan Baar. In this episode, Brian Anderson interviews Nathan Baar, MHA, BSN, RN, CEN. Nathan began his medical career as a Registered Nurse at <a href= "https://metrohealth.net/">Metro Health</a> and eventually served as Director of Emergency and Urgent Care Service. He details his entrance into healthcare, sharing that his mom — a nurse’s aid — noticed his love for personal interaction and conversation. Nathan’s experience in the emergency department alerted him to the dysfunction that exists within healthcare: failed cases, chronic diseases, and the unmanaged health of individuals where the ER is used as an access point for basic needs. These realizations led him, ultimately, to create <a href= "https://healthbar.com/services/">HealthBar</a>. The company provides healthcare services delivered by highly trained clinicians. They strive to provide timely, accessible, transparent, and affordable care to all clients. HealthBar aims to counter common complaints such as, “I can’t get into my doctor for three months,” or “I don’t want to use health services because I’m worried about how much it’s going to cost me.” Instead, HealthBar provides price transparency and drive-thru accessibility through its a la carte offerings. Nathan adds that the COVID-19 pandemic truly transformed how we interact as a society and how clinical care is provided. Many people, naturally, needed to use technology from their homes to receive diagnoses and care. He describes 2020 as the moment where everything clicked. While telehealth isn’t a catchall, it is an access point for a conversation, a check-in, or an opportunity to educate individuals. He questions: “Why does healthcare have to be in person? Why do you have to get of your vehicle for a blood draw?” Nathan’s company removes complexities, turning it into a consumerist model — like ordering food online. Nathan concludes by highlighting the importance of technology, saying, “You really can’t operate right now without being a sliver of a tech company, too.” At Augusto, we’re proud to work alongside Nathan and HealthBar on these innovative healthcare opportunities. We thank Nathan for his time on the Augusto Podcast and wish him the best of luck with HealthBar!
