Product in Healthtech

Chris Hoyd, Vynyl

Product leaders guide decisions around what should be built. They are interpreters that make sense of what’s happening as their organizations evolve rapidly. Product leaders balance business priorities, customer demands, and competitive pressures. Both strategic and tactical, this highly visible discipline is emerging as one that can be very difficult to execute well in the healthcare space.

The floodgates of funding, digitization, and internet-enabled competition are open. Businesses that build the best product the fastest will see outsized returns.

Join the conversation about how healthcare product managers, designers, researchers and other stakeholders can add meaningful value to their teams. Learn how the best product leaders optimize decision quality for entire organizations, increase development velocity, and navigate the unique constraints and opportunities in healthcare.
