An entrepreneur-friendly community has many components. Sources of product ideas, high tech or no tech. Knowledgeable service providers. Experienced businesspersons and exited entrepreneurs are needed for mentoring and coaching start-up entrepreneurs. An Entrepreneurship center to provide educational and networking opportunities and to help with the development of business plans. A pool of talented people with both technical and management skills. And, as these critical ingredients are established, it is also necessary to foster a variety of funding sources for entrepreneurs. Angel investors are a critical source of seed/startup and early stage venture capital.
Solution – send medical teams into the villages Each Mobile medics unit will have one senior doctor, 1 junior doctor a nurse and a driver. The van will be equipped with basic medicine and medical supplies. The village Chief and midwife will help organize and enroll villagers Midwife has an emergency cell phone – in the majority of villages there is currently no way for a large percentage of people to receive transportation in cases of emergencies Our van will show up in each village once every 2 weeks and we will give patients a smart card to track patient data Supporting vans pick up patients from neighboring villages and transport them to the stationed mobile unit. This will insure high capacity utilization of our doctors and increase volume Two support vehicles will also be used to ferry patients in from nearby villages to the center where the doctors and nurses are working Finally these vehicles will also serve as emergency ambulances in times of crisis and patients will be brought to a tertiary hospital. This will be a 7x24 service. Comment on 5 min per patient – sounds like a little, but t points (i) in India most of the people will have similar ailment – easy to treat (ii) one way short answers - pilots show 4 min - max time spent is 8 min; allows us to have significant throughput
Thoughts on Healthcare for BIBA - Presentation Transcript
Anupendra Sharma 2009 BIBA Kickoff Event Some thoughts about Healthcare September 9, 2009
Irish Networking is alive and well
Agenda The Healthcare industry Innovation Venture Capital MALSI Global Health The Leadership Program How BIBA can get involved
Healthcare: 14MM jobs and growing A 2.3 trillion dollar industry
A few numbers In 2007, the U.S. spent $2.26 trillion on health care or $7,439 per person. That is India and China’s GDP combined. Or something like that. Healthcare is 17% of our GDP. Its only going up. Everywhere.
Why ? We want to look good and live forever
Defining Sectors Life Sciences: Biotech & Pharma Medtech: Medical Technologies & Diagnostics Healthcare: Providers: Docs/Nurses, Hospital-related, Insurance Companies etc. Wellness: Consumer, off the shelf, self-pay Other: Software, Healthcare IT & Services

Healthcare What appears obvious does not always work. (biology versus physics) (Follow the money) Life and Death decisions complicate discussions of economics and logic Government is the biggest customer but is running out of money Many millions use the ER to get basic healthcare We have no idea what we are being charged for anything

MALSI
“ If I stand in the middle of Mass Ave Bridge, and walk 1 mile in either direction, I have everything I need to start a billion dollar life sciences company” We are motivated to leverage what is truly unique about MA
MALSI Mission To ensure MA is the best place in the world to start, nurture and grow a life sciences company
Four elements Needed to “Pull” a Company together
Scientific Founder (IP/idea)
Business Founder (Commercial/Credibility)
Investor (Angel/Venture Capital)
Superconnector (Brings People, Connects to Money & Helps Hone the Biz Plan)
Its rare that the scientific founder comes with access to all three (exceptions: Bob Langer, George Whitesides etc)

Global Health: Mobile Medics
Professor Amartya Sen, 1998 Nobel Prize in Economics [Comments in 2005 after a healthcare study] “ The neglect here is massive , particularly because this has led to both the substandard delivery of public health and the development of an immensely exploitative private enterprise in healthcare that survives on the deficiencies — and sometimes absence — of public health attention.” “ We found an incredible proportion of quacks in Jharkhand, particularly, but a significant proportion even in West Bengal, who provide almost no serious medical attention and instead give saline injections for malaria , which is not really known anywhere in the world as a cure.” “ The picture seems fairly widespread — is that when patients go to many of the primary health centres, they find no one there . ”
Mobile Medics – How we wanted it to work Van goes to Hub #1 Van moves to Hub #2 Village Chief & Midwife Will help organize patients and enroll members 1 doctor (increasing to 2) 1 nurse 1 driver Doctors & Nurse spend time in village (~5 minutes / patient) Van drives to neighboring villages and gathers patients and brings to Hubs Medical team will visit village every 2 weeks Biometrics will be used to identify patients
