NUS Medicine Digital Health Accelerator Recognizes Mentor Contributions

The expertise and networks that transform early-stage healthcare startups into investment-ready ventures—celebrating the mentors behind Demo Day 2025

Following Demo Day 2025, the NUS Medicine Digital Advanced Technology Accelerator (DATA) gathered at Maggie’s to recognise the mentors who guided the 2025 cohort through their 12-week acceleration journey. These industry experts provided the strategic guidance, domain expertise, and critical connections that helped transform HerLens, MangaChat, ROAX, and TelePT into market-ready ventures.

Beyond Advice: Strategic Support That Scales

Mentors contributed across dimensions essential for healthcare startup success:

Business Model Refinement
Stress-testing revenue strategies and go-to-market approaches to ensure commercial viability alongside clinical impact.

Network Access
Opening doors to investors, hospital administrators, and strategic partners—relationships that accelerate market entry and fundraising.

Domain Expertise
Providing real-world insights in healthcare technology, clinical operations, regulatory pathways, and commercialisation strategies.

Product Development
Guiding founders from concept validation through to deployable, market-ready solutions.

Several mentors travelled to Singapore specifically for Demo Day, demonstrating the network’s commitment to programme participants beyond formal obligations.

Building the Mentor Network

As DATA expands its impact across Southeast Asia’s digital health ecosystem, the programme seeks professionals with expertise in digital health technology, healthcare commercialisation and market access, clinical validation methodologies, healthcare investment and venture capital, and regulatory affairs.

The mentor network provides sustained engagement beyond the 12-week programme, offering ongoing support as ventures scale operations and navigate growth challenges.
