About Wasu Mekniran: Navigating the Intersection of Tech & Health
As a Doctoral Researcher at ETH Zurich and the University of St. Gallen (HSG), my focus is on EDEN: Emerging Business Models for Digital Healthy Longevity, How to bridge implementation gaps in preventive care? Case for digital diabetes screening**. My work at the Centre for Digital Health Interventions is dedicated to transforming disease prevention into a measurable, actionable, and accountable process through innovative digital risk biomarkers.
Our research framework addresses key challenges by understanding gaps in preventive care, examining systemic barriers to prevention within current healthcare, enabling cross-sector collaborations (including digital health platformization), and designing sustainable incentive and financing mechanisms for disease prevention. Specifically, it tackles critical collaboration, implementation, incentive, and financing gaps within the preventive care ecosystem, particularly for digital business models like diabetes screening.
With a background spanning Mechanical Engineering (B.Eng. on EMG-based medical robotics), Computational Mechanics (M.Sc. focusing on Fluid-Structure Interaction), and an MBA in Digitalization, I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective to the digital health ecosystem. My entrepreneurial journey, including founding a crowdfunding startup, further grounds my academic research in practical market realities. I am passionate about bridging advanced technology with strategic business models to drive meaningful innovation in healthcare.
