Workshop: How to run a health tech pilot?
A pilot is often the first real test of a health tech product, and it's where many startups stall. You have to find the right partner, set success metrics that matter to clinicians and buyers, handle data and compliance, and turn a pilot into a paying contract instead of an endless trial. This session covers what works, what doesn't, and how to set your pilot up for success from day one.
Any stage, any corner of health tech: if a pilot is in your future (or your present), this session is for you. No fluff, no filler. Just practical knowledge you can use.
We’ll dig into things like:
🏥 How to find the right clinical partner for your pilot, and what to look for before saying yes;
🎯 Defining success metrics, endpoints and a scope that's realistic for your product and stage;
📋 Navigating ethics approvals, data protection and the regulatory questions to answer before you start;
🤝 Getting clinicians and patients on board, and keeping them engaged once the pilot is running;
📊 Collecting evidence that holds up and turning pilot results into a case for procurement, reimbursement or your next funding round;
🚀 Common mistakes that stall pilots, and how to move from pilot to real-world adoption.
