Case Study
An Investment Into Sleep Apnea Technology
Here's a real-world example of how VentureBlick’s medical expert insights helped an investor in their decision-making.​​​​
Background
A leading healthcare provider sought clinical feedback on an AI-powered sleep apnea diagnostics platform. While they had internal networks, they turned to VentureBlick’s global network for a more complete evaluation.​Objective
The provider wanted global expert insights across various target markets – Malaysia, Taiwan, the US, and India – to assess the platform’s effectiveness, product-market fit, and regional challenges. VentureBlick was to deliver clear, actionable insights for each market.Key Findings
- Unmet clinical need: Clinicians noted strong demand for improved sleep apnea diagnostics, especially in Taiwan, where children are often undiagnosed
- Product-market fit:Clinicians recognised the device’s utility in health screening for both adults and children – an insight the provider hadn’t fully explored.
- Pricing matters: While pricing in the US was suitable, the Malaysia market needed adjustments for better adoption; pricing strategies were recommended for each region.
- New use cases: US-based clinicians identified an additional use case in post-surgical monitoring, which further enhanced the device’s market potential.
Outcome
VentureBlick’s global expert insights enabled the healthcare provider to proceed with a region-specific plan to launch the new device in Taiwan, the US, and other markets with targeted pricing and partnership strategies.Case Study

The government agency was involved in these activities, thus expanding its network in the process.
