That's an interesting thought. I've done quite a bit of work in the medical/healthcare space in tech in the past. I think part of your issue is that doctors are notoriously hard to get a hold of. Also they don't make any of the decisions for tech.
If you're just generally trying to get an idea of pain points in the industry I think you should get more specific. Here are some for instances:
- Are you trying to make the interface between the doctor and the patient easier?
- Are you going to look at the way the doctors interact with the EHR (electronic health records) vendors?
- Are you trying to make the check-in process easier for patients?
- Are you trying to provide analytics for long term quality of care metrics on hospitals?
- Are you targeting small clinics, hospitals, or ER/minor emergency rooms?
Also for cold calling doctors on Linkedin, I am not surprised that you aren't getting much feedback. Most of the doctors I've known tend not to be into online stuff. You might have more luck reaching out to a local professional organization.
Also you might think about trying to contact nurses, nurse practitioners, or physician's assistants. There might be a local nurses professional organization that you could reach out to who could ask their members if anybody is interested. Just frame it as you're trying to figure out a way to make their jobs easier.
This ended up being a little rambly, but I hope it's useful. Cheers.
- yr1337 2y agoThank you. YES on a lot of your bullet points. But I'm very open-minded about it and would work on any issue if enough people raise it. I've been thinking of reaching out to nurses and other pros that work around docs. I like the professional org idea.
