In this episode of the Life Sciences WA Podcast, Dr Bi Mian discusses his work with the Australian Medical Angels, a medical syndicate that focuses on investing in HealthTech startups in Australia. Mian, who is a medical doctor and runs a multi-specialist medical centre in regional New South Wales, founded the group with his co-founder Dr Amandeep Hansra. The group, which has 600 members, is unique in that it consists of verified clinicians across the medical and dental fields.
Mian explains that the syndicate allows doctors to invest in startups without having to put up large amounts of money individually. Through the syndicate, doctors can invest as little as $5,000 and still be part of a larger investment in a company. This allows doctors to have a say in the direction of the healthcare industry and invest in products and services that they will be using in their own practices.
The Australian Medical Angels have invested in a number of startups, including a telehealth platform, a mental health app, and a company that uses artificial intelligence to analyse medical images. Mian believes that the key to successful investing in the healthcare industry is to focus on solving real problems that clinicians face on a daily basis. He also emphasises the importance of being passionate about the work and having a deep understanding of the industry.
Overall, Mian believes that the western Australian life sciences industry has a bright future, with a strong focus on biotechnology and medical technology. He encourages aspiring entrepreneurs in the field to take the time to learn about the industry and develop a deep understanding of the problems they are trying to solve. By doing so, they can create successful and innovative solutions that will make a real difference in the lives of patients.

Technology has become increasingly important in the healthcare industry, with innovations and data analysis helping to improve patient care and streamline processes. However, with this increased reliance on technology comes the need for improved security measures to protect sensitive patient data and critical medical systems.
At the RSM Health, Business & Technology Conference, held in Sydney and Melbourne last October, industry experts gathered to discuss the potential benefits and risks of technology in healthcare. One of the speakers, Charlie Farah, Senior Director at Qlik, emphasized the importance of focusing on the people and processes involved in a transformation journey, rather than just the technology. He also highlighted the need for a dedicated business intelligence and analytics function within an organization and the importance of gathering data to make informed decisions and prioritize efforts. Farah stressed the importance of executive support and breaking down silos in order to be successful in a data-driven healthcare organization.
Catherine Bronger, General Manager of Chemistworks Group, discussed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pharmacies and the importance of technology in adapting to changing consumer expectations. She noted that the pandemic led to the implementation of electronic prescriptions and vaccinations, and that pharmacies have always offered delivery services, but consumers were not aware of this. Bronger emphasized the need for pharmacies to offer online ordering and delivery options, as well as virtual consultations and telehealth services, in order to remain competitive and meet the needs of consumers.
Roshan Fernandes, Information Security and Risk Manager at Western Sydney Local Health District, highlighted the importance of cybersecurity in healthcare settings. He noted that cyber incidents can have serious consequences, including the potential for harm to patients. Fernandes also pointed out that healthcare information has more value on the dark web than financial information because it cannot be changed. He emphasized the need for foundational controls in place, including access control, encryption, and endpoint protection, in order to reduce the risk of cybersecurity threats. Fernandes discussed the challenges of managing cybersecurity in the current climate, with an increased reliance on remote care and the use of various networks.
Overall, the RSM Health, Business & Technology Conference provided valuable insights into the role of technology in healthcare and the importance of protecting sensitive patient data. By prioritizing people and processes and implementing strong cybersecurity measures, healthcare organizations can effectively leverage technology to improve patient care and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.
