Vivek Nanda’s Post

It's time for the healthcare weekly round-up 🤝 📌 Welcome to Edition #19 of "Spotted! - This Week in Healthcare", and I'm your host: Vivek Nanda. Each week I share the interesting things that I spotted in the world of healthcare. Let's dive in... Edition #19 - - As the FDA continues its work to ensure that AI is deployed safely within healthcare, there are a couple prevalent issues that frequently pop up - 1. The first has to do with performance drift. We train the models on, and then we deploy them. That training is all well and good, but how does it function when you deploy? Companies may want to think more about conducting post-market monitoring so they can track how well their models are performing in the real world. 2. Data generalization is the second major problem with healthcare AI. To effectively train a healthcare AI model, developers need thousands — ideally tens of thousands — of data points. There’s a lot of missing data, and there’s a lot of unrepresentative data, and that's a problem. - - Next up, meet Confido Health. Confido Health is revolutionizing healthcare operations with AI.

76% of Americans are Stressed. 1 in 5 Americans is Depressed. It's what causes many other mental and physical problems. 9 in 10 adults with a behavioral condition also suffer from a physical health condition. But unfortunately, our healthcare system is a reactive system - sick care system. We are not catching early signs of any of these conditions, and the biggest reason for it is - Mental is not treated in a Preventative manner. After fighting his own battle with Anxiety and Depression, Todd Feldman has decided to take this challenge head-on, and transform the sick care system for unmet stress detection to preventative care. He wants the health system to approach stress detection as part of your annual checkups, not reactively. Similar to getting your blood tested, you can measure and monitor your stress levels and mental health indicators. Todd and his team Ceresant Solutions are building Braindash. A multimodal monitoring app that utilizes a combination of self-reporting, electronic health records, and wearables to offer a robust system for tracking and predicting health risks, particularly stress. Designed for primary care practices and health systems, Ceresant seeks to complement existing healthcare frameworks, fostering early intervention and reducing the need for specialized mental health services. Check out this very insightful conversation that I had with Todd Feldman, Founder and CEO of Ceresant Solutions on The Uprising Show.

Ever been in a situation where you're talking to your doctor, and suddenly you’re hit with that anxiety of, “Wait, I have no idea what this means”? They say it's fine, but you’re stuck thinking about it for days, second-guessing everything. That kind of worry disappears with a service like MedCompanion® | The Virtual Solution Shaping The Future of Healthcare. I had the chance to speak with the founder, Marly Brodsky, on The Uprising Show and honestly, this is one of the smartest ideas for care coordination I’ve come across. Everyone should be using something like this. Check them out — you’ll see what I mean. #Healthcare #Healthtech #Startups #TopHealth #TheUprisingShow

It's time for the healthcare weekly round-up 🤝 📌 Welcome to Edition #18 of "Spotted! - This Week in Healthcare", and I'm your host: Vivek Nanda. Each week I share the interesting things that I spotted in the world of healthcare. Let's dive in... Edition #18 - - Wearable technology appears to offer great potential for early detection and management of agitation experienced by people with communication-impaired neurological disorders. Through the use of wearable sensors and a multimodal sensing approach, caregivers can provide personalized interventions that could significantly improve patients’ lives. This personalizing approach seeks to minimize the incidents of agitation while improving overall well-being among patients. Now that's good news! - - Healthcare costs are rising in the U.S. In 2023, the average premium for family coverage was nearly $24,000 per year, a 47% increase from 2013. Sounder Benefits aims to address this problem. The company launched last week with $7.5 million in funding and was built at Redesign Health. The company targets employers with less than 1,000 employees. It pairs AI-driven insights with strategic benefits advisory services to help employers design their health benefit plans. Sounder Benefits receives revenue for its services on a per-member-per-month basis. It’s licensed to operate in all 50 states. While it officially launched last week, the company had already been in the market testing its product for about 90 days. Go check them out.

Hinge Health serves payers and employers and provides physical therapy for the neck, upper back, shoulders, elbows, lower back and more. Patients receive a care team, including physical therapists, health coaches and physicians.   In May, Hinge Health began offering movement-based menopause support for those with musculoskeletal and pelvic health conditions.

It's time for the healthcare weekly round-up 🤝 📌 Welcome to Edition #17 of "Spotted! - This Week in Healthcare". Each week I share the interesting things that I spotted in the world of healthcare. Let's dive in... Edition #17 -- Healthcare supply chain data is scattered across multiple systems belonging to providers, suppliers and information brokers. This fragmentation makes it difficult for any single party to have comprehensive visibility into the entire supply chain. Clarium gathers information from various sources in the healthcare supply chain, including data from hospitals, medical suppliers and information exchanges, and then takes this information and translates it into an easy to understand format. Clarium is on a mission to transform hospital supply chain operations, and closed a $10.5 million financing round. The round was led by General Catalyst and included three health system venture arms — from Kaiser Permanente, Yale New Haven Health and Texas Medical Center. Go check them out. CC: Steve Liou -- Next up is Innovaccer. Innovaccer is one of top data platforms for value-based care.

CC: Abhinav Sandeep Kanav Sachin Ali -- Mindset Care, a startup that helps those with mental illness apply for Social Security disability benefits, has secured $13 million in funding. Mindset Care has a community outreach team that works with homeless shelters, jails, veteran organizations, food drives and rehab facilities to find those who would benefit from disability benefits. Mindset Care then acts as a representative for these individuals, assisting with Social Security benefits applications by answering questions, helping complete forms and gathering necessary documentation. The company’s services are free to the individual, and Mindset is paid by the Social Security office if the application is accepted.

Run Your Own Race 🏃♂️🏃♀️ In the world of social media, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind. You see posts about someone closing million-dollar deals, launching the next big thing, or living a life that seems just out of reach. But here’s the truth: We’re all running different races. Your journey is a unique product of your own ecosystem — your experiences, challenges, and dreams. Comparing your path to someone else’s is like comparing apples to oranges; it doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t matter if that guy on LinkedIn is making millions. What matters is that you’re putting one foot in front of the other, every single day, running "Your" race. Success isn’t just measured by money or followers; it’s about progress, impact, and staying true to your vision. So, focus on your goals, celebrate your milestones, and keep moving forward. Run your own race — because no one else can do it like you. 🏆 #Motivation #StayInYourLane #SuccessMindset #RunYourRace #LinkedInFam #VivekNanda

Too often, we marketers ignore reality, convincing ourselves otherwise when the evidence is right in front of us. As marketers, we all dream of working for a boss who truly gets marketing. But here's the harsh truth: many of us overlook the warning signs when taking a new job, convincing ourselves that we can change someone’s mindset later on. But let me ask you this — if your boss isn’t already showing up on podcasts, especially if they're a start-up founder, do you really think they’ll start just because you’ve joined the team? 🤔 I had this exact conversation with an ex-colleague yesterday, and it hit me hard. Too often, we marketers ignore reality, convincing ourselves otherwise when the evidence is right in front of us. Don’t fall into that trap. Accept the truth from the start, and save yourself from frustration down the road. 🚀 #MarketingTruths #CareerAdvice #MarketingLeadership #BehindTheMarketingCurtain #VivekNanda

If you've ever been underestimated, counted out, or told you weren't enough—this post is for you. Ever wonder why the biggest victories often belong to those who were never supposed to win? It’s not luck. It’s not chance. It’s the underdog mentality — a fierce determination to succeed against all odds. Underdogs don't have the luxury of comfort. They thrive in the trenches, where resilience, creativity, and relentless drive become their greatest assets. They turn every "no" into fuel, every setback into strategy, and every doubt into an opportunity to prove the world wrong. Keep grinding. Keep pushing. Keep winning. Peace ✌
