There is a large and growing population of Diabetes Patients in the US.\u00a0 The AAMC study projects a shortfall of up to 139,0000 physicians by 2033.\u00a0 We will need technological solutions to maintain the quality of care, and at the same time allow doctors to treat more diabetes patients.<\/p>\n
The CDC has reported that new cases were higher among Blacks and people of Hispanic origin, which has disproportionately impacted impoverished areas.\u00a0 Access to Medical care for some populations can be a challenge.<\/p>\n
There have been many technological advances and widespread use of new diabetes technology such as Bluetooth connected continuously monitoring devices.\u00a0 However, most treatment and monitoring is still done with a Doctor\u2019s Visit. \u00a0By moving to a remotely monitored patient population we can greatly reduce cost, improve patient outcomes, and discover new innovated insights through the large scale collection of organized data from patients.<\/p>\n
My Solution is to create a diabetes management kit of connected devices that allow doctors to remotely monitor and treat patients.\u00a0 This Kit will Include, Scale, Blood Pressure Cuff, Glucose Monitor.\u00a0 Diabetes management App, that will have automated questionnaire, request for photos when needed, schedule blood draw appointments at the nearest Lab, connect to pharmacies and prescription services. \u00a0Everything one would need to control and treat diabetes in one place with minimal intervention.<\/p>\n
The CDC reports there are 34.2MM Americans (just over ~10% of the US Population) have Diabetes.\u00a0 88 Million American adults, ~33% of the US population have prediabetes. In 2019, it was estimated that health care expenditures to treat US diabetes patients were 295 Billion.\u00a0 Customers will include the entire ecosystem that helps support this population.<\/p>\n
This is a Platform with value creation generated to a number of different consumers in the space.\u00a0 I will address value creation for each stakeholder, Diabetes Patients, Doctors, Insurance Companies, Researchers.\u00a0 \u00a0Unlike the most of the Healthcare systems today, we will be Customer Focused.\u00a0 Customer Satisfaction will be extremely high priority.<\/p>\n
Diabetes Patients:<\/p>\n
Doctors:<\/p>\n
Insurance Companies<\/p>\n
Researchers<\/p>\n
The Team.<\/p>\n
Physician Partner \u2013 Passionate about advancing the status quo of current state, Great connections in the Medical Space, Research.\u00a0 Example would be Dr. David Sinclair, Professor Harvard Medical School, and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of InsideTracker.com.<\/p>\n
Technology Entrepreneur \u2013 Partner with someone that has success in the space of building a technology startup, find the right suppliers and vendors to help build the vision navigate the world of IT and possibly product development.<\/p>\n
Myself, Ivan Pinney \u2013 Petroleum Engineer, MBA, Graduate HBAP.\u00a0 Currently the Chief Operating officer of an upstream oil and gas company.\u00a0 Successfully started and sold previous business, successfully fund raising equity in Private Markets.\u00a0 Engineering expertise in building and automatic workflows.\u00a0 I.e. Building automations to monitor Large numbers of Oil and Gas wells, flag for interventions.<\/p>\n
Business Development \u2013 Healthcare Administration Background.\u00a0 Navigate the barriers of entry with current offices, communicate challenges and key product features, help negotiated large scale contracts with Insurance\/Medicare\/Medicaid.<\/p>\n
Competition<\/p>\n
All of the technology needed to develop this type of product offering currently exist today, however, it is disaggregated and not connected.\u00a0 The Building of a Platform that connects the data from these devices to doctors, provides payment from insurance is the connection we are making.<\/p>\n
Example Devices:<\/p>\n
Withings Body+ Smart Scale \u2013 Sends Weight \/ Bodyfat information to cloud<\/p>\n
Withings Blood Pressure Cuff \u2013 Sends Blood Pressure to Cloud.<\/p>\n
Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring System \u2013 Continuously Monitor Glucose levels of patients.\u00a0 Available for Medicare Purchasing.<\/p>\n
