The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan

Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
8. CONTRAINDICATIONS: MOVEMENT IN YOGA
8. Introduction to Contraindications
Students come to yoga classes with a variety of physical, mental, and emotional conditions that should be given special attention and support by teachers.
While making clear the distinction between yoga teacher and licensed medical or mental health professional, as teachers we are responsible for creating a safe and supportive environment for all students, including those with injuries, depression, age-related needs, and conditions such as pregnancy and menopause.
Here we will look at practical approaches to working with students whose bodies, hearts, and minds (which are not really separate) indicate the need for special accommodation in classes or in one-on-one sessions. Bringing a specifically yogic perspective to this aspect of teaching starts with looking at and appreciating every student as the whole person he or she is, offering tools and techniques for using various challenging conditions to heal, feel better, and move into a deeper quality of integration.

Observasi appearance dan reaksi psn sangat bermanfaat. Anak yg tersenyum selagi diperiksa abdomen sgt kecil kemungkinan menderita acut abd. Sebaliknya anak yg stoic dan mengaku tidk nyeri ttp sedikit mengernyit bisa menderirta peritonitis
Cuci tangan sbl pemeriksaan bukan hanya mencegah inf nosokomial ttp jg menghangatkan tangan shg membuat nyaman si anak. Pd anak besar mgk bisa dilakukan pem head to toe, ttp pd anak yg lbh kecil dan tdk kooperatif hrs diambil kesempatan memeriksa daerah yang diperbolehkan si anak.
Botol susu kdg2 dpt membuat si anak lebih kalem

Nothing is tobe gained by testing for rebound tendernes coz normal child will wince at a suddent change of pressure.
So the child will be accustomed/terbiasa to a light touch
