129: Taking the Waiting Around Out of Inpatient Rounds with Mike Pitt of Q-rounds

How does a research project turn into a company with a story to sell? When “How does this not already exist?” is the overwhelming response to the idea.

CEO Mike Pitt shares the obvious need behind the development of Q-rounds, the complications around testing a product intended for hospital use, and why he hasn’t accepted the entrepreneur label.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How Q-rounds is solving the problem of time transparency in the medical field
• How the technology uses electronic health records (EHR) to get doctors, nurses, patients, family members, specialists, and even translators in the room at the same time
• Why the UI differs by user type
• Where Q-rounds is going next in sharing communication between providers and patients
• The complexity of testing workflows and IT in a hospital system
• Where Mike wishes they’d focused more research during the development of the technology
• How gBeta is a crash course for starting a business
• Why Q-rounds approaches sales as problem-solving
• Where Q-rounds sees potential for partnership integrations
• How Mike’s experience in academic medicine has given him agility in responding to feedback
