About Salim S.
Product Manager focused on building healthtech products that translate complex clinical and diagnostic systems into intuitive, human-centered experiences.I’ve led the launch and scaling of consumer-facing respiratory diagnostics, working at the intersection of regulated healthcare, product strategy, and commercialization. My experience spans product discovery, data-informed roadmapping, and cross-functional execution—partnering closely with engineering, clinical, regulatory, and commercial teams to bring products from concept to market and drive real-world adoption.I’m particularly interested in how thoughtful design, behavior change, and emerging technologies—especially in wearable and lifestyle health—can create more engaging and effective healthcare experiences. I gravitate toward products that balance clinical rigor with simplicity, accessibility, and strong, differentiated product identity.Outside of product, I explore storytelling through film and fashion, which continues to shape how I think about narrative, user experience, and building products people connect with.
