Healthcare products and the decisions behind them.
Kanav Jain
I've spent my career inside healthcare products — Doximity, Epic, Transcarent, Andwise. I focus on the moments where decisions reopen, context drops between teams, and operators compensate for broken process. I research those patterns, build small tests, and advise teams that need clearer decision paths.
“Kanav made our decision paths visible in a week. The clarity let the whole team breathe easier.”
— Head of Platform, Series C healthtech
I work in different ways depending on what's needed — a focused advisory session, a shorter product sprint, or ongoing fractional leadership. Happy to talk about what fits.
