Cymbal Health pairs executive advising with hands-on product management. We help pharma, medtech, and digital health teams decide what to build, ship it with their engineers, and adopt AI with the governance and human oversight that healthcare requires.
Engagements range from embedded product leadership to focused advisory. Most combine two or more of these.
Embedded product leadership for digital health platforms, working day to day with design and engineering.
Moving from AI experiments to working products and teams that use AI well.
Strategy and delivery for software and Software as a Medical Device programs, from concept to commercial scale.
Helping health and life sciences organizations move from paper and manual processes to connected, technology-driven operations.
Client names are kept confidential.
Lead product management for a consumer health information platform. Define roadmap priorities, translate business and user needs into requirements, and align marketing, design, and engineering to deliver onboarding, engagement, and retention initiatives.
Guide leadership through the shift to a technology-driven business: setting EHR integration strategy, shaping how product, technology, and commercial teams work together, and putting clear ownership and KPIs in place for digital delivery.
Advise on business and technology priorities, commercialization planning, and strategic connections across the healthcare and life sciences ecosystem.
Understand the workflow, the users, and the constraints. Find where software or AI changes the outcome.
Set priorities, success measures, and requirements the team can build against.
Work alongside engineering and design to ship in short cycles and learn from real use.
Put quality, risk, and human oversight in place so the product holds up in a regulated setting.
Ken has spent more than 20 years building software, medical device, and AI-enabled products across healthcare, pharma, and life sciences. He has led global digital health and SaMD portfolios, run engineering teams, and founded and exited healthcare software companies.
