Why the Pursuit of Value in Health Care is Important – Especially for Innovators

January 9, 2017 By MassDevice

By Amy Siegel, S2N Health A change in the US leadership, especially one as significant as we will experience this month, naturally generates uncertainty about the future of health care policy and finance.  A few things are certain, though (and this is not fake news): The US devotes nearly 18% of its GDP to healthcare, spending […]

A Consumer’s Perspective on Medical Devices: Why We Need Each Other

October 26, 2016 By MassDevice

By Amy Siegel, S2N Health Recently, S2N mentored some med tech start-ups preparing for competitions, helping them refine their pitches before taking the podium (and doing our part for the innovation ecosystem). Among this crop of companies, several have technologies with “high consumer touch,” meaning that consumers are the primary users of the devices for self-care […]

September 14, 2016 By MassDevice

By Tim Kofol and Rebecca Noble Unless your job involves orthopedic devices, you might have glossed over this year’s exciting news: as of April 1, 2016, the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model (CJR) is mandatory for 791 hospitals in 67 geographic areas of the United States.

Smart Money in Medtech: What it Means and Why it Matters

August 23, 2016 By MassDevice

By Amy Siegel, S2N Health As the route to a successful exit in med tech has grown longer, and the pathway riskier and more expensive, many VCs have shifted attention to other sectors such as tech, biotech, and health IT. S2N’s emerging med tech clients wrestle daily with this new reality, turning over every rock […]

Variation in Medicine: What Would Darwin Say?

June 22, 2016 By MassDevice

By Tim Kofol, S2N Health Some of S2N’s recent work has gotten me thinking about variation, sometimes extreme, in the practice of seemingly routine medical care. Take the interventional treatment of peripheral arterial disease, for example. We recently spoke to physicians about their approaches to stenting; some stent about 10% of lesions, some stent everything, […]

A 2016 proposal for medtech: Build the brand

January 11, 2016 By MassDevice

By Amy Siegel, S2N Health For the past few years, medtech entrepreneurs have seemed practically apologetic for being in medtech. True, there are many reasons, or maybe excuses, to have had ears down and tail between legs.  Venture capital has generally favored biotech and health IT over medtech.  The large medical device companies have been more focused […]

The drug pricing backlash – Should medtech pay attention?

October 13, 2015 By MassDevice

By Amy Siegel, S2N Health Admittedly, the biotech boom of the past few years has left some of us in medtech feeling a bit inferior, maybe even jealous.  Those huge funding rounds, heady IPOs and rich pre-revenue M&A deals can be hard to swallow, especially when investors keep asking you why you can’t be more […]

August 12, 2015 By Fink Densford

By Amy Seigel & Tim Kofol Mark Andreessen, the founder of Netscape and regarded investor/entrepreneur, coined the term “Product/Market (P/M) Fit”, which simply means “…being in a good market with a product that can satisfy that market.”  According to Andreessen, this state of commercial Nirvana is achieved by iterating on your product, messaging, and targeting until […]

Five tall tales medtech startups tell investors

June 4, 2015 By MassDevice

By Amy Siegel, S2N Health Honesty is a virtue to which we all aspire, but in the game of funding a medtech startup sometimes the straight story and a nickel won’t buy you a cup of coffee.  Most entrepreneurs, particularly the engineering types who tend to invent medical devices, aren’t deliberate fib-tellers. They are passionate about their innovations, confident […]
