Asima Ahmad: Rethinking Women’s Health
Asima Ahmad, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at Carrot and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Specialist at Reproductive Medicine Institute, shared on LinkedIn:
“I didn’t plan to start a company. I was in a fellowship program at University of California, San Francisco when the Carrot opportunity came up, and I had no idea whether my program would allow it.
Starting a company during fellowship wasn’t something people did then.
While the entrepreneurial path wasn’t what I had pictured for myself, deep down I believed our vision for Carrot might help increase access to care.
A lot of what exists in healthcare today is because one person was willing to say there’s more than one way to tackle a population health problem.
The other decision I made then and have kept was to continue seeing patients. As a team, we agreed it mattered – being a practicing physician allows me to have my finger on the pulse.
I can see what patients walk in knowing and what they don’t know, where they got their information, and what still isn’t being addressed. Those gaps are what we end up building for, and I don’t think I’d have the same instincts about what to build if I had stopped seeing patients.
I talked with Tim Showalter and Trevor Royce about this and more on the HealthTech Remedy Podcast.”
