Our Services
FrictionlessMED curates technologies and accelerates the success of innovators. We successfully launch and promote transformative healthcare products globally through proper brand positioning, developing channel partners, sales, product implementation, and client management.
Technology Curation
FrictionlessMED works with international clients to identify U.S.-based AI technologies, and other healthcare technologies to import to local markets. Then, we facilitate the client/vendor relationship throughout the product lifecycle to ensure success of both the technology implementation and the client/innovator relationship.
Leadership Team Consulting
We leverage significant board and healthcare experience to help our clients develop organizational strategies that lead to success. As we partner with clients and evaluate potential mergers and acquisitions that advance the enterprise, we draw on decades of leadership experience to evaluate, recommend, and pursue the best strategies.
Market Strategy Development
FrictionlessMED leverages extensive international and domestic experience to help clients target and break into their highest potential markets. We examine both national and international market possibilities to ensure timely success, as oftentimes, success outside the U.S. is more expeditious with transformative technologies.
We conduct market research with key stakeholders, including regulators, payors, providers, and local partners to better understand market dynamics. We then position products in target markets to win clients while addressing challenges in local healthcare markets.
Client Acquisition & Retention
We work with our clients to develop and execute successful sales strategies, which can include collaboration with local and international contacts to accelerate success in target markets. We partner with our clients throughout their lifecycle to ensure long-term client retention and effective growth strategies.
