A healthcare innovation studio
Closing the Translation Gap in Healthcare Innovation
Stitium 37 provides the innovation infrastructure to help healthcare insights, products, and technologies become validated, adoption-ready solutions.
02 - CORE PILLARS
The Three Translation Gaps We Work On
Clinical Insight Without Infrastructure
Clinicians, operators, researchers, and specialists see problems every day, but often lack the structure to turn insight into something testable, designed, and ready for use.
Healthtech Without Clinical Grounding
Founders build products, dashboards, AI tools, and workflows that touch care, but often need stronger validation against clinical reality, risk, evidence, and workflow fit.
Products Without Adoption Pathways
Promising healthcare products struggle when they are not translated into buyer logic, reimbursement realities, stakeholder needs, implementation conditions, and credible adoption routes.
Studio Engagements
Hands-on design and strategy engagements for healthcare products, concepts, and market entry.
We work directly with founders, companies, expert teams, and institutions to validate, design, and de-risk healthcare products, services, pilots, and market-entry pathways.
Featured engagement: Market Entry Lab
Capability Lab
We design and deliver workshops, sprints, office hours, and structured programs for accelerators, universities, foundations, incubators, health systems, and ecosystem partners supporting healthcare founders and innovation teams.
Featured: Venture Formation Program
Practitioner Network
Clinical, commercial, regulatory, reimbursement, and implementation expertise brought into the work when needed.
Stitium 37 brings together practitioners across healthcare finance, reimbursement, clinical workflows, regulatory readiness, commercialization, implementation, public health evidence, and design to help teams see what one discipline alone might miss.
Not a venture studio. Not an accelerator.
Stitium 37 does not exist to chase our own ideas.
We work with the insights, products, and technologies already emerging from clinicians, founders, companies, and healthcare ecosystems — then translate them into something clearer, testable, credible, and ready for real-world use.

FOUNDER
Built by someone who understands both the clinical system and the innovation process.
Stitium 37 is led by Ukeme Daniel, MD, MPH — an innovation designer and medical doctor with experience across clinical systems, venture design, and corporate innovation. Trained in Medicine, Health Finance and Management and Public Health, I have spent years inside the clinical system, now building solutions I wished existed.
I’ve helped startups, founders, VC studios, and corporate venture teams shape opportunity areas into fundable concepts — finding problem - solution fit validating assumptions, and turning early signals into clear narratives investors can back. That work supported 20+ ventures and $7M+ raised.
