Episode #1 of the Persevere Podcast

In this episode https://tinyurl.com/6nvyxnre I share with you the story behind Checkable Medical, the company I founded in 2019. I share my background and passion as an entrepreneur in multiple industries and the path that led me to form Checkable Medical. 

In my experiences working as a medical device executive and as a consultant in a Clinical Research Organization (CRO), I found opportunities to reduce healthcare burdens (for the system, the consumer, and the payers).

I discuss the difficulty of being a nurturing mother and a career woman at the same time. In caring for my kids’ illnesses, I experienced the frustration of taking time away from work and spending hours at clinics waiting for a diagnosis or staying home and watchfully waiting out the symptoms to avoid an unnecessary visit to the clinic. I 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.

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.

In this first episode, I discuss 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.
