About Health Advances

Health Advances is a strategy consulting firm that focuses exclusively on the healthcare industry. We are scientists, clinicians, and business professionals who share a passion for supporting commercialization and driving adoption of innovations that improve healthcare. The firm employs nearly 200 full-time professionals in four global offices.

We help clients realize growth opportunities worldwide for healthcare technologies, products, and services. Our consultants partner with senior executives and investors on their highest-stakes strategic decisions. We not only understand the complexities of each technology and disease state, but also appreciate the client’s context within the entire healthcare ecosystem. Our consultants understand regulatory constraints, referral patterns, and economic incentives that can impact the adoption of products and services. As a result of our deep knowledge of the complexities of the healthcare sector, we dig deeper, think broader, and reach further. This enables Health Advances to provide our clients with innovative perspectives and actionable insights that help them make more confident strategic business decisions that capitalize on their company’s growth potential.

Not only our senior management, but every staff member focuses exclusively on the healthcare industry. As a result, everyone is highly attuned to the vagaries of the industry and the intricacies of many data sources. Our teams hit the ground running and do not waste the precious time (and money)  or client executives asking basic questions.
