A Framework to Resolve the Build vs. Buy Dilemma in Digital Health
I’ve spent the past fourteen years building some of the leading B2B and B2C platforms (Whil, Headspace, FirstUp) partnering with some of the leading payers, providers and reseller platforms (Kaiser Permanente, CVS Health, Virgin Pulse, Limeade, Castlight, Vitality, etc.) and competing against a wide array of Digital Health (DH) platforms in wellbeing, stress resilience, mindfulness, sleep, parenting and other DH solutions (Calm, Big Health, MeQuilibrium, Thrive Global, etc.).
This experience, as well as working with over 600 enterprise clients and 3.5M+ members at the company I founded (Whil) gave me a front row seat to a number of the recurring challenges facing companies as they navigate options for their own DH strategy. I’ve seen many of the largest players in healthcare waste years of their time and tens of millions of dollars on failed DH initiatives. If this sounds familiar (or if you’d like to avoid doing this yourself), this white paper is for you.
My goal here is threefold. First, to help you understand your biggest risks in the build versus buy dilemma in DH. Second, to help you avoid common and costly mistakes. And third, to provide a 10-step framework to approach the build versus buy decision for your own DH strategy.
