Announcing a New Webinar Series
Practical conversations on building safe, effective digital health
This is Clinical Product Thinking 🧠, a weekly newsletter featuring practical tips, frameworks and strategies from the frontlines of clinical product.
Welcome, friends, this is issue No. 034 of Clinical Product Thinking. This week I’m incredibly excited to let you know about a new 3-part webinar series.
A few months ago, Danielle Brightman and I hosted a panel in London on how to break into clinical product. We expected a good turnout. What we didn’t expect was how many people reached out afterwards asking if there would be a recording, an online version, or another chance to join the conversation.
In response we’re launching a 3-part webinar series: three online sessions exploring some of the biggest questions in clinical product.
We’ll be focusing on:
How to build clinical products safely and at scale
How to create meaningful clinical AI products
Why clinical product is emerging as a new kind of product leader in healthtech
We’d love to see you there.
1. Building HealthTech: From Product Thinking to Patient Safety
Most product teams are taught to move fast, test assumptions and iterate.
Healthcare adds a harder question:
How do you move fast without compromising patient safety?
In this session, we’ll explore how to build healthtech products where safety is not something you check at the end, but something designed into the product from the beginning.
We’ll talk about:
how clinical judgement changes product decisions
where teams most commonly create risk without realising it
how to think about safety, evidence and experience together
why the best healthtech products are designed around the realities of care delivery, not just software
This is the conversation more product teams should have earlier.

2. Building AI Clinical Products: How to Build Safe, Effective Clinical AI
Everyone in healthtech is talking about AI.
Very few people are diving deep into what it actually takes to build clinical AI safely.
Healthcare is full of products that seem impressive in a demo but become much more complicated when they meet real patients, clinical workflows and real-world risk.
In this session, we’ll explore:
the difference between AI that is useful and AI that is genuinely safe
the new risks created by clinical AI products
how regulation, evidence and product design need to work together
why many of the old approaches to product management are not enough for AI-enabled healthcare
If you are building AI in healthcare, leading a clinical AI product, or trying to understand what “good” looks like, this session is for you.

3. The Clinical Product Gap: Why HealthTech Needs a New Kind of Product Leader
Most companies have clinicians and a product function. What most don’t realise is the gap that is forming between the two functions as both speak different languages and prioritise different things.
In this session, we’ll explore why traditional product thinking often breaks down in healthcare, why clinical expertise alone is not enough, and why a new kind of leader is emerging in between.
We’ll cover:
what clinical product actually is
why so many teams struggle to integrate product, clinical and operational thinking
the common failure modes when this role is missing
how the best companies are starting to structure it differently
If you’ve ever found yourself acting as the bridge between clinicians, product, safety and operations, this session is probably for you.
