Digital health is moving at AI speed, but evidence generation is still stuck in the past.

In this episode, StartUp Health co-founder Unity Stoakes sits down with StartUp Health community member Robin Roberts, CEO & Founder of datosX Digital Health Labs, to explore how validation can become a catalyst for real-world adoption rather than a bottleneck. Drawing on his experience building the Novartis Biome and spinning datosX out of it, Robin explains why traditional CRO models no longer meet the needs of modern digital health and AI-powered solutions.

Together, they discuss how datosX is helping innovators generate regulatory-grade, buyer-credible evidence while unlocking pilots and commercial traction with leading health systems.

In this conversation, you will learn:

  • Why digital health companies cannot afford to wait 18 months for validation

  • How datosX pairs innovators with tier-1 health systems to run validation studies that double as pilots

  • What makes the datosX model 30–60% faster and up to 8–10× more cost-effective than legacy CROs

  • How real-world data and retrospective studies accelerate proof and decision-making

  • Why evidence, adoption, and trust must be built together

  • How the upcoming EVIDIA platform is turning global digital health trial knowledge into AI-powered intelligence

This episode is a must-listen for founders, health system leaders, investors, and partners working to bring validated, trustworthy health innovation to market faster.
