About Digital Health Review
A New York product creative, Blair Hirst is a founder, operator and startup advisor focused on launching equitable research, products and investments.
Blair Hirst spent 15 years building digital health products at world-leading hospitals and startups, watching the same pattern repeat: the best innovations were locked behind networks, capital, and insider knowledge that most founders couldn't access.
So they built the access themselves.
Digital Health Review originated as a newsletter and has evolved into something bigger - a venture studio focused on the social and political determinants of health. Still delivering insights, but also building infrastructure. Blair wanted to support these entrepreneurs with all the benefits of a venture studio's success (expertise, network, resources) without giving up predatory ownership to the folks who needed it for their communities. And so, Blair turned their product expertise into playbooks, training, and a 10,000+ community of operators, founders, and investors who believe health innovation shouldn't require permission slips.
These days, Blair works with founders and organizations building solutions in sustainable health, infrastructure, and rural economic development - some call it the 'care economy'. These spaces are where impact is hardest to scale but matters most. They bring product strategy, no/low code automation expertise, and two decades of pattern recognition from Brown Engineering, NYU Tandon, and the trenches of health tech.
The difference? Blair's been where you are. They've launched with limited resources, navigated the funding landscape, and built the networks that now open doors for others. They're not just advising from the sidelines. They're in it with you.
If you're building something that creates real change in underserved communities, Blair's already thinking ten steps ahead.
Let's build something beautiful together.
