After half a year of launching R2GConnect, the platform receives an enormously positive response from various healthcare stakeholders and digital health startups. The platform serves as an important tool to accelerate digital health partnerships and find relevant partners. A wide range of digital health startups uses R2GConnect to apply for different corporate accelerators, health insurance companies, pharma, investors and pitching event organizers. The healthcare sector is evolving rapidly with the introduction of new technologies. More than any other industry, AI, robotics, IoT, and other emerging technologies are disrupting the healthcare sector. Small companies and startup founders, from marketing to sales and accounting, have to take care of everything. Therefore it can be expensive and risky to invest time and effort in developing your innovative healthcare app or a whole new technology. Building new technology all on your own might take a lot of your time and money. Having a technology partner can reduce that risk and help you build innovative high ROI services. Several issues might occur during digital health partnerships. These problems can occur at any stage of the association. According to the latest study conducted by Research2Guidance, 80% of the digital health partnerships tend to fail due to unrealistic and mismatched expectations from the partnerships. (For more key insights on Partnerships In Digital Health, download R2G’s free whitepaper.)Research2Guidance, the analyst and consulting company based in Berlin launched R2GConnect which helps a lot both of the industry-led accelerators, incubators, health insurance, pharma companies and event organizers to identify most relevant digital health startups to partner with and vice versa and build the ecosystem in digital health.
