Have spent decade more or less as health tech security and privacy consultant, checking in.
Requirements come from the institutions that fund the solutions ("solutions," not products) and not the users themselves, so engagement with end users is limited. It's very waterfall, no product managers, just "business analysts," whose only leverage is their perceived relationship with "the client," who may or may not be represented by an actual user.
I've thought a lot about how to disrupt healthcare, and the only viable way I can think of doing it is selling new products into emerging markets that don't yet have ensconced bureaucracies running health. The most successful grassroots medical product I am aware of is "Figure 1," but any product going into western world healthcare is going to be %95 enterprise solution and %5 health related.
An "Uber for stitches" product would be illegal in most countries, but that's the only kind of innovation I can see driving change for most people.
