The investment case for digital health and oncology is straightforward - apply digital innovation to one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, improve millions of patients' lives, and reap the rewards. While the opportunity may be straightforward, the scalability of these solutions is not.
The marriage of digital health and oncology is still nascent, with companies figuring out the best approach. A key topic for our community is building sustainable business models and getting over the adoption hurdle to build to scale.
In this meeting we will break down the pro’s and con’s of the different options to get the right business model for Oncology-focused digital health companies. Join to discuss:
For entrepreneurs, it is important to look at as many options as possible, so flexibility in approach may be required. How can companies streamline their decision making and look at the ability to pivot between, or potentially combine, different business models? Does having hybrid business models slow down scalability?
While some business models and pilots work in the short term to show early results and initial revenue, they may not be the right model for the scaling phase. How can companies think about model scalability from early on?
Scaling within a country can be challenging, but scaling across countries is even more complex. What may work in one country, may not in the neighbouring country. What approach should companies take to ensure efficient scalability of their product across geographies?
What are the factors that determine the most scalable business model for a digital health company in oncology? E.g. type of cancer, type of product, competitors, available resources, evidence data, etc.
While there are direct-to-consumer opportunities within oncology, most companies have taken an approach that requires finding the right partner to get to market. How can companies analyse and prioritize partner opportunities?
