About Nav Kar

I\'m a doctor who never stopped building.After MBBS, instead of practising medicine, I spent 18 years at the intersection of clinical knowledge, digital platforms, and healthcare technology — building systems that change how physicians engage, how patients receive care, and how pharma and medtech measure ROI of clinical behavior change.I\'ve operated at full depth across two disciplines most health tech leaders only touch one of:As a product leader — I\'ve owned 0→1 platform development, AI personalization engines, full P&L, and roadmap strategy across enterprise SaaS, B2B, and B2C healthcare. Scaled digital health ecosystems to enterprise users and 300+ institutions. Built closed-loop analytics connecting platform engagement to pharma Rx lift and medtech device adoption. Deployed AI in clinical products since 2015 — before it was mainstream in India.As a clinical domain expert — MBBS-trained, 18 years building with and for physicians, HCPs, pharma, and medtech. I understand how clinical users think, what makes them adopt or abandon digital tools, and how to design for actual clinical workflows. This is the rarest differentiator a health tech product leader can have.These two capabilities reinforce each other in uncommon ways. I build products that are scientifically credible and clinically trusted — and I can challenge SMEs, brief engineers, and close enterprise deals in the same conversation.Across Elsevier, Boston Scientific, Clarivate, Omnicuris, and Thieme — I\'ve served the full healthcare ecosystem: physicians, HCPs, medical colleges, hospitals, pharma, medtech, payors, and provider networks.What I build and lead:→ Digital health platforms & healthcare SaaS ecosystems→ AI-driven personalization & clinical decision support→ HCP engagement & physician behavior-change platforms→ Closed-loop pharma/medtech analytics — engagement to Rx lift to device adoption→ 0→1 product development — gap analysis to GTM to post-launch iteration→ Medical communications as a product capability — CME, pharma HCP engagement, KOL advisoryWhat I\'m open to:→ Head of Product / VP Product / CPO — healthtech, digital health, healthcare SaaS→ Senior roles where product and clinical domain converge — HCP platforms, medtech commercial, pharma digitalIf you\'re building at the intersection of healthcare, AI, and digital platforms — let\'s t••••••••@gmail.com
