A Chat with a HealthTech Maverick
When it comes to cutting-edge home healthcare innovations, few stand out as prominently as Casana, a promising startup in the health tech realm. We were fortunate to sit down with Olivia Lew, the COO of Casana, for a deep dive into her journey and the company’s mission.
From Non-Profit to Health Tech
Olivia’s pathway into the health tech industry was anything but linear. Beginning her career in the nonprofit sector, she eventually pivoted towards business and tech. During her tenure at General Catalyst, Olivia encountered numerous entrepreneurs, but only a few, like Austin McCord, truly left an indelible mark.
Introducing Casana
For those unfamiliar, Casana’s primary focus lies in hypertension management. Their revolutionary product, the Heart Seat, captures vital signs effortlessly. The underlying principle? To reduce the burden on individuals already grappling with chronic conditions.
Interestingly, Casana’s innovative solution doesn’t urge users to be constantly engaged with the technology. In fact, there’s a deliberate absence of immediate feedback screens, addressing concerns related to anxiety when viewing immediate health results.
What’s Next for Casana?
With their eyes set on FDA clearance for blood pressure measurement, the future looks promising for Casana. The goal? To roll out a full-fledged hypertension solution powered by the FDA-cleared heart seat by next year.
The Takeaway
As home healthcare continues to evolve, companies like Casana are leading the charge, ensuring that care becomes more intuitive, less intrusive, and above all, patient-centric.
Stay tuned for more updates on the future of home healthcare innovations.
