Strategy in Action —
Measurable Outcomes

A selection of engagements illustrating our approach to MedTech strategy — from AI commercialization and regulatory navigation to hospital partnerships and market entry.

AI Capsule Endoscopy Market Strategy

The Challenge

A Boston-based AI company had developed a deep learning platform for automated polyp detection in capsule endoscopy. Despite strong clinical validation data, the company lacked a coherent commercialization strategy — unclear on target customer segments, reimbursement pathways, and the competitive positioning required to differentiate from incumbent GI diagnostic platforms.

Our Approach

We conducted a comprehensive market assessment covering the US GI diagnostics landscape, competitive analysis of existing capsule endoscopy platforms, and a detailed reimbursement pathway analysis. We developed a tiered commercialization strategy targeting academic GI centers as reference sites, followed by community gastroenterology practices. A health economic model was built to support payer conversations, and a pilot program framework was designed for the first 10 hospital accounts.

Strategic Outcomes
6 months
Accelerated time-to-first commercial account
3 AMCs
Reference site agreements secured in Year 1
$4.2M
Series A extension secured with commercial strategy as anchor
2 CPT codes
Reimbursement pathway identified for AI-assisted GI reading

RPM Business Model Development

The Challenge

A digital health startup had built a clinically validated remote patient monitoring platform for chronic disease management but was operating under a direct-to-consumer model that was generating high churn and unsustainable unit economics. The founding team needed to pivot to a B2B health system model but lacked the commercial architecture to do so.

Our Approach

We redesigned the commercial model from DTC to B2B, developing a health system value proposition centered on readmission reduction and chronic care management reimbursement. A new pricing architecture was built around per-member-per-month contracts with outcome-based components. We identified and prioritized 15 target health system accounts and developed a pilot program framework with defined success metrics and expansion criteria.

Strategic Outcomes
340%
Increase in average contract value (DTC to B2B)
4 IDNs
Signed as anchor health system partners within 9 months
18 months
Runway extension through improved unit economics
India launch
Parallel market entry strategy executed for Tier 1 Indian cities

Surgical Robotics Market Analysis

The Challenge

A California-based surgical robotics company was preparing for a Series B raise and needed a rigorous, investor-grade market analysis to support its valuation narrative. The company also needed to determine the optimal geographic expansion sequence for its laparoscopic robotic platform — balancing regulatory complexity, market size, and competitive dynamics across three regions.

Our Approach

We developed a comprehensive market analysis covering the global surgical robotics landscape, with deep dives into the US, Indian, and Southeast Asian markets. The analysis included competitive positioning against incumbent platforms, hospital adoption modeling, regulatory pathway comparison across jurisdictions, and a prioritized market entry sequence with investment requirements and expected timelines.

Strategic Outcomes

FDA De Novo Strategy for AI Wound Care Platform

The Challenge

A wound care AI company had developed a smartphone-based platform for automated wound measurement and healing trajectory prediction. With no clear predicate device for FDA clearance, the company faced a De Novo pathway that its internal team had limited experience navigating — creating significant uncertainty around timeline and capital requirements.

Our Approach

We led the regulatory strategy development, including device classification analysis, De Novo request structuring, and clinical evidence planning. A pre-submission meeting strategy was developed to engage FDA early and align on performance criteria. We also developed the clinical study protocol for the pivotal validation study, designed to meet the evidentiary standards for De Novo authorization.

Strategic Outcomes
De Novo
Authorization received within 14 months of engagement
8 months
Faster than projected timeline through pre-Sub strategy
Class II
Device classification achieved, enabling 510(k) pathway for future iterations
3 claims
Cleared intended use claims covering measurement, documentation, and prediction

Hospital Partnership Strategy for Digital Health Platform

The Challenge

A Singapore-based digital health platform had secured Series B funding and was tasked by its board with establishing anchor hospital partnerships across three Southeast Asian markets within 18 months. The company had strong technology but lacked the institutional relationships, value proposition frameworks, and partnership structures required to engage health systems at scale.

Our Approach

We designed a comprehensive hospital partnership strategy covering stakeholder mapping, value proposition development, and partnership agreement frameworks for Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. A tiered engagement model was developed — from pilot agreements to enterprise contracts — with defined success metrics at each stage. We also facilitated introductions to senior clinical and administrative stakeholders at 8 target hospital systems.

Strategic Outcomes
11 hospitals
Partnership agreements signed across 3 markets in 16 months
3 countries
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand — all markets entered on schedule
Series C
Partnership portfolio was anchor evidence for Series C raise
2 MOH
Ministry of Health pilot programs secured in Malaysia and Thailand
