Digital Health

Transforming to the biggest change in healthcare since decades is essential to stay competitive. Value based care introduces analysis and data as the most important unique selling propositions.

Project Management

Navigating complex development projects through various stages from early research to production requires a broad knowledge and experience, specifically when working with external R&D and manufacturing resources.

Go International

Market access in the US and Europe is closely linked to regulatory approval  frameworks set by the FDA and the European commission. We support you to plan the best path to market in early stages of your development.

Data Science

Time series analysis, Statistics, Big Data in real world environments, requiring artifact robust methods. And even more important: How to interpret results in a clinical context?

Coaching

We are coaching Start-ups, get engaged in interim management positions and board positions to actively help launching the rocket in the right direction.

Technology Transfer

Most promising new products and methods are invented in Universities and Research Institutions. Getting involved early saves you a pole position.

New Business Models

With the change to value based care the business models change to service based and personalized approaches. You want to explore how your business can evolve and change?

Introducing Emotions

Today, medical devices focus on function and quality. Design and the emotional side of the products are secondary. With the move to the digital era and the merge of Consumer with Medical this is quickly changing. Don’t miss the opportunity!

Mobile Healthcare

Smartphones are an enabling technology that allows to bring diagnosis and monitoring to the masses. Combining low cost sensors with Smartphone applications opens new business opportunities. How can you participate?

Services

A broad and knowledgeable overview and the resulting realistic evaluation and control of all decisive elements are the basis for goal-oriented innovation when introducing a new product or business sector.

We assist in solving questions involving all aspects of innovations, new products and the development of new areas and markets in the Life Sciences, especially in the medical technology sector.

This includes providing advisory opinions, reports, research and education, participation in individual discussions or planning processes, up to complete project control and interim management.

Our focus lies on the Life Science markets that are still by far the most important: Europe and the USA. Almost 70% of all Life-science revenue is generated in European countries and the United States.

Profit from a proven, extensive network of competent and strong partners!

Interdisciplinary activities characterize my personal background right from the start of my education. As a matter of course, I work cooperatively and in teams with the most diverse specialists and disciplines to find the optimal solution.

Health-care systems rapidly change the way they are working. Care will be value based, heavily networked, and care will be anywhere.

About

Experienced serial start-up entrepreneur and manager in the healthcare field, focused on technology, products, and services in life science, healthcare and medical devices, especially in Pulmonary medicine, Sleep, and Neurology.

I am focused to „smart“ devices, homecare, and technologies that merge consumer healthcare with professional medical devices. With a rare combination of knowledge in data analysis, statistics, and IT on the one side and traditional medical device design on the other side I am perfectly positioned to enter the new fields of mobile health, digital health, and computer controlled therapies.

Within 20 years of experience in start-up companies, 9 of them in a medical device contract R&D and manufacturing company, I enjoyed working with dozens of new technologies, services, and products in every aspect. From research, engineering, regulatory, and manufacturing up to the build of a sales force.
