Abstract

By now, we’ve established a couple of things that are of critical importance to your product: identifying a detailed product idea and constructing a solid team. Our next step is to talk about the sorts of people that make up a typical HealthTech team. Even the most experienced and skilled team can rapidly become toxic if there is not clear understanding, open communication and mutual respect of the different roles on the team. In this chapter, we’re going to go through some of the more typical roles within a HealthTech team.

None of us is as smart as all of us”—Kenneth H. Blanchard

Notes

  1. 1.

    Although an RCT is considered a gold-standard in many clinical research circles, experts are continually re-evaluating the best ways to quantify the effect of an intervention or technology. For instance, as the concept of “individualized medicine” is gaining traction, many fields have shown increasing interest in a style of experiment known as an “n-of-1 clinical trial”. This form of clinical trial is very different to an RCT. Thus, it is crucial that the scientist on your team is familiar with conventional thought and research styles within the field in order for your clinical trial to gain the most traction.
