What inspires you to launch a startup?

@anna_panchenko I have often met doctors who do not care about their patients. I hope things will change over time.

@nermin_zejnilovic Navigating the complex landscape of health information and services has been eye-opening both in terms of understanding medical intricacies and gaining perspective on how users perceive health and wellness, as well as how to tailor our product accordingly. Over time, we've observed a shift in comprehension, particularly among medical professionals who now grasp the core issue we're addressing and how we're approaching it. On the user end, I often hear feedback about how some perceive our application primarily as a weight loss tool, which, while true to an extent, only scratches the surface. The real complexity arises when discussing concepts like risk assessment, allostatic load, and screenings. There's a wealth of insights to unpack. For instance, we discovered that including a "Biometrics" section in our app, after engaging with users, was better suited as a tertiary tab rather than a prominent one. It turns out, individuals who are aware of their weight or waist circumference being outside the norm tend to hesitate in recording this data, often waiting until they've made progress. The fear of confronting their issue and seeing it persistently documented can deter them from inputting the information promptly. It's a fascinating aspect to consider. This journey has illuminated the critical role of community and word-of-mouth in the adoption and expansion of health-related innovations. Witnessing our solution gain traction within our network and beyond reinforced the significance of building a supportive community around health initiatives. It's through these shared experiences and recommendations that the true impact of our prototype has become apparent.

@nermin_zejnilovic I received several responses to the question about weight loss. In general, people saw that their acquaintances had lost weight and asked how they had achieved it. In response, they've heard sbout Healsens. By the way, this was a big revelation for our entire team. People go through screenings, see deviations, and decide to make lifestyle changes, as a result of which some lose excess weight.

@andreas_toddle Do you plan to come back to your startup one day?

@nermin_zejnilovic My previous startup ran out of money. My current startup is called toddle and is going strong 💪
