the rock weekly 7/11
While most people were recovering from fireworks and July 4th, Rock Health celebrated Mayo Clinic week. Our office buzzed with keyboard clicks and the sounds of our startups meeting with Dr. Michael Matly from the Mayo Clinic’s Center for Innovation. We put Michael to work, and by the end of the week he managed to meet with and advise nearly every Rock Health company.
On Thursday, we held our first workshop with Sonny Jandial from P&G and John de Souza from MedHelp. Each gave an insightful presentation around Building a Consumer Health Product. Friday, Ryan Panchadsaram (Pipette) and Jackson Wilkinson (WeSprout) led a great prep session on how to make the most of our first usability fair coming up next week.
