Martin’s views on the healthcare industry and its digitization?
When we think of the healthcare industry, we often think of professionals such as doctors and nurses. Although these are, of course, essential roles in this field, they’re far from the only ones. The healthcare industry encompasses a wide range of sectors that provide goods and services to treat patients.
As well as, the industry also includes those who research, manage, and provide essential equipment and services. With digital healthcare services patients can keep detailed and automatically updated medical records for themselves, making their medical history easily accessible.
Martin’s views on the responsibilities of an entrepreneur and his advice for them?
Entrepreneurs are held accountable by their clients to provide their products or service and to themselves to market their business. Evaluating market opportunities, devising a business plan, sourcing funding, founding the business or firm, and overseeing its operations. Seeking new directions and ways to improve and grow the company. Overseeing financial records and taking action, such as securing a new line of credit to handle unforeseen events.
Go after your passion and try your hardest to build a product or service that will make your customers’ lives easier. Becoming a successful entrepreneur requires an intense level of dedication to your dream, and this means sacrificing time and money to make it happen. It may not be fun to give up those nightly Netflix binges or weekend parties with friends so you can put in some extra hours on your startup, but these sacrifices are much easier to make now than when you’re older.
