SHS Webinar "Bringing Healthtech to Market: How to Get Validation Right"
October 27, 2026
Online, 4:00 – 5:00 PM
Will your product really succeed in the market?
The only way to know for sure, and to de-risk it for you and your stakeholders, is through market validation, and in healthtech, that process is far from straightforward. Complex stakeholder landscapes, regulatory complexity, layered reimbursement systems, and experts who are hard to get in front of all make it a genuine challenge. Skip it, and you risk running out of runway before your product even gets a fair shot.
In this session, Siro Gottardi will walk you through what it actually takes to validate a healthtech product, from problem-solution fit to business model, and share real cases of what goes wrong when validation gets skipped.
