The complexities of healthcare delivery offer numerous challenges to those entrepreneurs willing to take them on. For those startups targeting the 50+ market, the management teams need to develop solutions that embrace the diverse needs and capabilities this population represents.
Healthcare delivery entrepreneurs not only need to take what they learn from healthcare professionals on what will add value but also figure out how to design products that give serious consideration to the user experience for patients and, in many cases, their caregivers. The digital health platforms these entrepreneurs produce also need to reflect a wide range of technology ability and preferences of users.
