Checkable Medical: How It Started

<p dir="ltr">In this episode, founder and CEO Patty Post shares her background and passion as an entrepreneur in multiple industries and the path that led her to form Checkable Medical. </p> <p dir="ltr">In her experiences working as a medical device executive and as a consultant in a Clinical Research Organization (CRO), she found opportunities to reduce healthcare burdens (for the system, the consumer, and the payers).</p> <p dir="ltr">Patty discusses the difficulty of being a nurturing mother and a career woman at the same time. In caring for her children's illnesses, she experienced the frustration of taking time away from work, spending hours at clinics waiting for a diagnosis. Patty knew there had to be a better way; at-home diagnostic tests could reduce friction for patients/caregivers and lower the burden on the healthcare system. With this vision, Checkable Medical was born.</p> <p dir="ltr">Checkable Medical offers simple, rapid at-home diagnostic tests and a state-of-the-art digital platform to connect patients with healthcare (telehealth) providers and pharmacists. The platform also provides treatment management to help patients complete treatment regimens so that re-infection is less likely.</p> <p dir="ltr">Patty discusses the many phases of getting a medical product to market: fund-raising, clinical validation, analytical validation, FDA approval, engineering, consumer surveys, human-factor validation, marketing, and white-labeling.</p> <p dir="ltr">Listen in to learn more about the Checkable Medical story and the heartbeat of the company. </p> <p> </p>
