Building Relationships, Raising Capital, and Establishing Reimbursement Codes
Interview with Oculogica CEO Rosina Samadani
If you watch football or read the news, you already know that concussions have become an area of increasing concern for many sports associations, particularly the National Football League (NFL).
Rosina Samadani initially watched the emerging discourse around concussions play out from the sidelines of her sister’s medtech company, Oculogica. Rosina’s sister, Dr. Uzma Samadani, is a renowned neurosurgeon at the University of Minnesota At that point in time, she was in the preliminary stages of developing the EyeBOX: a cutting edge medical device designed to diagnose concussions by reading cranial nerve palsies.
Uzma periodically tapped Rosina for advice in the early days. As a serial entrepreneur with a PhD in biomedical engineering, Rosina wasn’t just a trustworthy and supportive sister, she was also a valuable consultant. Rosina eventually moved over to work on the project full time, and is now the CEO of Oculogica.
In this episode of Medsider, Rosina shares her advice for managing various stages of the regulatory journey, the importance of nurturing relationships with key stakeholders, and why entrepreneurs shouldn’t be intimidated by the complex reimbursement process.
