Why do so many groundbreaking health tech innovations struggle to reach the market—and the patients who need them most?
And just as importantly: what kind of healthcare future lies ahead of us?
To close out Season 2 of The HealthSpan Lab, I invited Romy Benninga, MSc, BCMAS, to help unpack the complex journey from scientific discovery to real-world impact—and explore the innovations shaping the future of care.
Romy brings a rare 360° perspective, with hands-on experience in R&D, Medical Affairs, and business development across Switzerland, the UK, EU, and the US.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Why academic breakthroughs rarely become commercial products
- What makes medtech and digital health particularly hard to scale
- How to navigate regulatory, commercialization, and market hurdles
- The strengths and differences between the US and EU approaches to innovation
- A vision for more holistic and integrated patient care
Whether you're a founder, clinician, investor, or simply curious about the future of healthcare, this episode is packed with practical insights into what it really takes to bring a health innovation to life.
