Key Insights:
Aditya is driven to build software that positively impacts people’s lives. Improving healthcare access through better waitlists is only the start for Luma Health.
- The Founding Team. Luma Health has three co-founders that complement each other’s experiences and background. Their CMO is a practicing radiologist, providing a clinical perspective, and the CEO has a background in sales and marketing. With his background in product management, Aditya specializes in product engineering and implementation.
- Patient Success Above All. Health systems want patient engagement, but Aditya is focused on patient success. Success in patient outcomes is a more challenging metric to achieve, and is longer-term, but that is what patients ultimately value.
- Funding During a Downturn. In boom times, innovation and digital transformation teams have more sway. During downturns, the bar is a little higher and CFOs are the new target audience when finding partnerships. This may require founders to be more ROI-focused, vision-oriented, and disciplined.
This episode is hosted by Tarun Kapoor, M.D. He is a member of the Advisory Council for Day Zero and is Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Transformation Officer at Virtua Health.
