In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Andrew Holman, MD, CEO of Inmedix.

Inmedix is commercializing CloudHRV, an FDA-cleared diagnostic that quantifies biological stress with clinical precision to guide treatment decisions in autoimmune disease and beyond.

Andrew is a practicing rheumatologist in Seattle with 25 years of clinical and research experience. His discoveries linking autonomic dysfunction to autoimmune disease outcomes led to a $10 million patent sale to Boehringer Ingelheim. After a decade in retirement, he returned to found Inmedix and pioneer the field of immuno-autonomics — preparing the market for his technology years before launch.

In this interview, Andrew shares how to build a category before commercializing a product, why clinical evidence creates competitive moats that money can't replicate, and how to raise capital from angel investors by understanding what they actually care about.
