Driving real-world impact in digital health
Dr Shubs Upadhyay
I believe we need to reframe value in healthcare and ensure that technology serves that wider value directly. That’s the work I do.
I help digital health companies focus on real healthcare impact
Technology won’t change healthcare unless it works for those who need it most.I work with startups, investors, and global organizations to make sure their solutions are not only clinically sound, but equitable, scalable, and trusted by the people they’re meant to serve.With a background that spans frontline care, health systems strategy, quality improvement, and global policy, I translate clinical and ecosystem level insight into what you need to build products that really do change things for the better.
