Bringing point-of-care, rural health, and hospital-at-home technologies to market requires founders to navigate closely connected regulatory, reimbursement, and fundraising decisions. This three-person panel will explore the commercialization challenges these technologies present, where founders often underestimate the complexity, and what teams should consider before their product, clinical evidence, or regulatory pathway is fully defined.

Topics will include:

• Commercialization challenges specific to point-of-care and hospital-at-home technologies
• Common blind spots when bringing these solutions to market
• How regulatory, reimbursement, and fundraising decisions influence one another
• Early considerations for product development, clinical evidence, and market entry
