Christine
Galligan
As a design thinker, I specialize in creating systems and technologies that foster transparency, accessibility, and truly human-centered connections in healthcare.
I’m not interested in technology for its own sake. I’m driven by a vision where innovations adapt to serve people—especially those facing health challenges—rather than requiring people to conform to rigid systems such as seeing a doctor in person or sending out a sample to a CRO. Imagine a world where devices, homes, and healthcare spaces dynamically adjust to meet individual needs, empowering independence and resilience. That’s the future I want to help create.

I excel at navigating complexity with speed and aligning diverse stakeholders on visionary futures and the roadmaps to achieve them. My approach spans three interconnected areas: business design, consumer research and insights, and pre-build ideation and visioning. Whether crafting transformative roadmaps, uncovering actionable insights, or prioritizing opportunities to de-risk investments, my work consistently blends strategic foresight with practical execution.
Through close collaboration with founders, C-suite executives, and interdisciplinary teams, I have led initiatives that prioritize opportunities, streamline go-to-market strategies, and validate markets to support venture building. I believe that the future of health lies in adaptive systems and empathetic design. By reimagining healthcare’s potential, I aim to deliver innovative solutions that address both individual needs and broader societal challenges, creating meaningful and lasting impact.
