Hints for the Clinician Entrepreneur from the Vituity Playbook | Dr. Joshua Tamayo-Sarver, MD, PhD
Our guest on the third episode of DHD is Dr. Tamayo-Sarver MD PhD, VP of Innovation at Inflect Health and Vituity. In this capacity he wears many hats – from strategic health tech partnerships, investments, and internal incubation, to spearheading the development of ground-breaking health and wellness products
Dr. Tamayo-Sarver's incredible insights into healthcare problem-solving are informed by his diverse experiences. He's not just an executive in a national physician staffing company that provides technology solutions to over 400 hospitals; he's also a practicing emergency physician.

We highlight common challenges in healthcare innovation, such as barriers to development due to lack of common language and understanding between clinicians and engineers, or innovators not utilizing the human-centric approach before integrating technology, leading to in lack of flexibility and scalability.
