A few weeks ago, I shared a post about why healthtech founders should hire clinicians.
It reached over 24,000 people, sparked 100+ comments, and showed me something important: there’s a huge appetite for real, practical insight on how clinical thinking can transform tech.
I’ve just spent a few days on annual leave hiking in the mountains (getting in touch with my Norwegian roots!), with time to reflect on my own journey from emergency medicine into healthtech, and how many skills from the clinical world are not just transferable, but game-changing in product development.
From diagnosing patients to designing features, the core principles are surprisingly similar: clear thinking, evidence-based decisions, empathy, and adaptability under pressure.
So, over the next few weeks, I’m sharing 5 lessons from medicine that have shaped my approach to building technology, and how they can help any team create products that actually work in the real world.
And if you recognise this view - let's chat!
