#22 Karmen Joller: Arst ei vaja ilusat haamrit, vaid tööriista, mis päriselt töötab

05/21/25 • 53 min

Kust tuleb arstitarkvarasse nupu tellimus – kas praktiseerivalt arstilt või hoopis ministrilt? Sotsiaalminister Karmen Joller avab ausalt tervishoiusüsteemi kitsaskohti, räägib sellest, miks digiarendus ei tohi toimuda arstist mööda minnes. Juttu tuleb ka tervishoiu rahastusmudelite kohatisest absurdsusest ja sellest, kuidas süsteem võib premeerida mõttetuid uuringuid, aga ei toeta piisavalt ennetust ja tulemuslikkust. Lisaks arutleb saatejuht Priit Kruus Karmen Jolleriga meditsiinieetikast, regulatsioonidest ja inimese motivatsioonist püsida terve.

🎙️ #21 Sigvards Krongorns: It’s not just about the product—it’s about the fit.
Kicking off our first-ever special episode on Baltic Health Tech with Sigvards Krongorns, Associate at Verge HealthTech Fund and ex-founder who dared to 3D-print a smarter cast (yes, like Iron Man, but for broken bones) and shake up a system that doesn’t like being shaken. He’s battled the three-headed beast of clinical inertia, regulation hell, and scale-up chaos—so you don’t have to.

💡 Sigvards shares the highs, lows, and “did-that-just-happen?” moments from his startup journey, and how those lessons shape his work now backing early-stage founders at Verge.
In this episode, Sigvards and Priit get real about:

What it really takes to get innovation into the hands of doctors (spoiler: it’s not just building cool stuff)
Why the Baltic health tech scene is quietly cooking up some serious magic.
How Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania differ in the approach to health tech landscape.
How cross-border collabs might be the secret sauce to making it all scale.

👉 👀 P.S. This is just the beginning. More Baltic stories coming soon. Follow-up episodes will dive deeper into the ecosystem—because one episode ain't enough!
