The Medivo business program got a big vote of confidence from StartUp Health this week when the entrepreneurship-focused group named Sundeep Bhan as one of its 10 inaugural “Healthcare Transformers.” Bhan, a co-founder of Medivo, will participate in the first StartUp Health Academy for Health and Wellness Entrepreneurship, a three-year program that is designed to support innovators transforming the current healthcare model.
“The best way to transform healthcare is to support and promote entrepreneurs with ongoing inspiration, education, and access to customers, capital and other critical resources so that innovation and growth can occur more quickly,” said Jerry Levin, the chairman of StartUp Health and former chief executive officer of media giant TimeWarner.
This is certainly an area of familiarity for Bhan and Medivo, the business he co-founded to help change the current model for reporting of lab test results and to transform the way physicians and patients leverage technology on their way to improved health outcomes.
In selecting the first class of entrepreneurs, StartUp Health said it focused on “finding extraordinary and passionate entrepreneurs and innovators [who] are on a mission to solve one of the great challenges of our time: fixing a broken healthcare system in ways that significantly reduce costs and dramatically improve care.”
