Highlights
Twelve years in the trenches of radical healthcare innovation. Numerous dialysis treatments and amputations avoided. One million patients served with the medical selfie AI. Welcoming Geoffrey G. Martin as our CEO to drive Healthy.io to 10M patients.
**
12 years ago, when we set on the mission to turn the phone into a clinical grade medical device, many doubted whether our radical idea would become a reality. That it would pass the scrutiny of FDA and trailblaze a path where no human (or AI) has gone before.
Let alone that it will reach a million people in need.
Through world-class talent, clarity of vision, our team's culture, hard work and probably most of all - our grit (thank you FDA failure, Elizabeth Holmes criminal action, COVID and the collapse of the capital markets) - we forged the partnerships, investment success and product superiority that make us who we are today.
Through this tenacious team effort - we can say we have irreversibly changed the world of digital medicine. Forever.
In the next two years, our primary goal and our formative test will be how we grow from 1M-10M patients. This commercial front will be predominantly defined in the UK and the US - where the scale and need are huge. Where capital markets enable growth and becoming a public company is made possible. To succeed on this path, we need to adapt and expand our management structure. To expand its leadership to include a person who has done this type of >$100m sales multiple times in the past.
It is in this context that I'm excited to share that Geoff Martin will be taking the helm as our new global CEO. With his impressive background as the former President of Olive AI and CEO of GE Healthcare’s Global Partners group, Geoff brings over two decades of experience in health innovation. His track record and expertise will be invaluable in steering our commercialization efforts globally.
As part of this expansion, I will transition into the role of President of Healthy, where I will focus on our global Public Affairs, help build our future growth strategy, particularly in the realms of public health systems, and support the team in setting the stage in the global financial markets. **
Two thousand years ago, our sages wrote “it is not upon you to conclude the work, but neither are you free to desist from it”.
Clearly, they knew what they were talking about :)
Welcome Geoff and good luck!
