In our first ever pre-announced #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with a dear friend Fredrik Debong, co-founder of mySugr and now hi.health - we unpacked so much wisdom there:
Dr. Kermit discusses health tech with Lisa Suennen, who heads Manatt Digital and Technology and has 30 years experience as an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and strategic advisor. They discuss the state of technology in healthcare today, its potential to bring positive change and some of the barriers and challenges we still need to overcome.
Believe it or not, Jessica DaMassa and Matthew have been banging out digital health tech and funding news for 200 episodes of this oh-so-cute little show. To celebrate, after several takeover episodes when Jess replaced Matthew with a number of special guests, this time four of the digital health and health care digerati replaced Jess to ask Matthew some oh so serious questions.

Medsider Radio: Learn from Medical Device and Medtech Thought Leaders
This interview is a continuation of a throwback mini-series that I've been releasing over the past few weeks with some of my favorite Medsider guests of all time.One of which is Lisa Suennen, who was then a Managing Member of Psilos Group, a healthcare-focused venture capital firm with approximately $600 million under management. Although this discussion is several years old and the audio quality isn't the best, the insights Lisa provides are timeless. Here are some of the thing we covered:What does Lisa think when the goal of physicians is to “dagger historical price lists."Why Lisa and her partners at the Psilos Group favor late-stage deals.Corporate venture capital arms: friend or foe? And if you're an early-stage medical device company, what is the best way to get the attention of Lisa Suennen and her peers in the VC world?See more...
Born during the pandemic, therapeutic by design oh and comedy still included in a meticulously unproduced way. Pleasure to have our first guest Lisa Suennen where we talk about $$ money flowing in or out of DigitalHealth - and wait till the end for our guest's joke!
In this episode, we chat about some of Lisa’s pithy, spot on publications (“3 Questions Every Investor Must Ask”, “13 Rules for Healthcare Entrepreneurs/Innovators”), her role in advancing women in healthcare, and how she got to where she is today. Lisa Suennen currently works at Manatt, where she runs the digital technology group, consults with the healthcare group, and runs Manatt Venture Fund. Lisa also writes a popular blog, Venture Valkyrie, and co-hosts a podcast called “TechTonics” with David Shaywitz. We were thrilled for the chance to sit down with such a pillar in the digital health ecosystem and had a fantastic time getting to know her.
Lisa penned the 13 rules for Healthcare entrepreneurs in a few minutes but it was based on a lifetime of experience. We sat down at the HLTH conference to compare notes on why some entrepreneurs make it and some miss the mark. Hope you enjoy.
The digital health movement has spawned so many solutions, which makes the process of innovating in the space more chaotic than ever before. How do we rise above the noise to create awareness and demand for our innovations? How do we make ourselves more appealing to venture capital? What are the biggest healthcare myths innovators should stop buying into? On this episode, healthcare industry consultant, and venture capital partner, Lisa Suennen shares on how innovators can overcome or work around the challenges that come with commercialization. 3 Things We Learned Regulation and information are a huge barrier to successful commercialization There’s an imperfect marketplace and a disequilibrium in the sharing of information in healthcare. The patient has no information, the providers have less than they need, and the payers have the wrong kind. Additionally, healthcare is heavily regulated, and regulatory expertise, which many innovators don’t have, is critical. Focus on numbers to appeal to VCs Venture capitalists would be more willing to invest in people who really know their numbers. It’s less about telling them a story about the innovation, and more about showing its financial viability. But don’t jump into venture capital too quickly. If we get too far ahead with raising money but we haven’t done enough to validate our concept, we will waste money and give up ownership too early. Understand how compensation works in healthcare One of the biggest mistakes innovators make is not appreciating how payment moves through the system, and how many hands an innovation passes before it gets to the patient. Going direct-to-consumer is almost impossible. It’s hard to get a patient to pay out-of-pocket for something they expect to be covered by insurance. There is a noise in healthcare right now, and while there are opportunities for big companies to work with, invest in and partner with innovators, there’s also more chaos. If innovators want to succeed, it’s important to understand how the system is set up. Financially, the incentives of the various players are not aligned in healthcare. Patients, providers and payers are financially at odds. On the regulatory side, innovators have to become knowledgeable about the rules that govern innovation, and buying cycles are long so we need to be patient. To succeed we have to be clear on who is going to pay for our innovation and why. We have to come into healthcare innovation with the mindset of a coalition builder, because it’s impossible to succeed going in it alone.

Speaking of spending like drunken sailors on healthcare, this week saw some hilarious fist fights over a report from the Mercatus Center, a libertarian think tank at George Mason University, that pearl-clutched over Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill in the Senate, exclaiming that Sanders’ plan would increase US healthcare spending by THIRTY TWO TRILLION DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS. Oh, the humanity!! But … wait a minute. We’re spending close to three and a half trillion a year right now, with costs predicted to increase in the next ten years by an average of 5.5% a year. Back of the napkin, simple arithmetic, that means that we’ll be spending close to FIFTY FIVE TRILLION bucks on healthcare in the next ten years with our current status quo payment model. So Bernie’s Big Idea looks like it could SAVE us almost TWENTY TRILLION BUCKS! And everybody would be covered. So … LET’S DOOOOO EEEEET! Oh, right, that’s a terrible idea. ‘Cause helping every American person be as healthy as possible is just a shitty idea, right? ‘Merica! It’s a wonderful country! Just don’t get sick!
