TIGER’s Expert Assessment service provides healthcare innovation startups with personalized expert guidance on specific challenges they face during their development journey. This targeted consultation service connects companies with specialized experts to help bridge the gap from concept to market success, ensuring innovators receive the precise support they need to overcome technical, regulatory, or business obstacles.
Getting Started: Application and Selection
Healthcare startups begin by applying to the Expert Assessment service through TIGER’s platform. Once the application is reviewed, selected companies receive a confirmation email from their National TIGER Expert, marking the start of their personalized assessment journey.
Initial Consultation and Needs Assessment
The process begins with an online meeting between the startup and their assigned National TIGER Expert. This crucial conversation allows your contact to understand the company’s specific requirements and challenges. Following this meeting, companies complete a standardized questionnaire that further clarifies their needs, and the type of expert assistance required.
Requirement Validation and Action Planning
Based on insights gathered during the meeting and questionnaire responses, companies receive a requirement profile document. This summary captures their specific needs and must be confirmed by the startup to ensure everything is correctly understood. Once validated, TIGER develops a detailed action plan outlining the next steps and identifying the most suitable expert for the company’s particular challenges.
Expert Connection and Ongoing Support
Companies are then connected with specialized experts from TIGER’s network of project partners who possess expertise in their specific area of need, whether regulatory issues, intellectual property, or other technical matters. Throughout the consultation process, the National TIGER Expert monitors progress and remains available to address any issues that may arise during the expert interaction.
Documentation and Follow-up
Upon completion of the expert consultation, companies receive comprehensive documentation summarizing the assessment outcomes and recommendations, providing them with a clear roadmap for addressing their specific challenges and advancing their healthcare innovation.
