Forward Health CarePod Resurrection
One-Liner
Repurposing Forward Health's self-service health pod concept for corporate wellness screening at employer sites.
Kill Reason
Hardware cost ($1M/pod) combined with annual screening frequency makes unit economics impossible, regardless of customer. Quest/Labcorp already serve corporate wellness efficiently at $35-75/person. The fundamental problem is hardware cost, not customer selection.

killed: Accuracy Cliff: medical monitoring needs near-perfect accuracy from day one. On-device models cannot meet medical accuracy requirements. FDA/CE approval timelines are years, not months.
killed: Existing pharmacy intelligence platforms (Bluesight, GPO tools from Vizient and Premier) already have the data infrastructure. Crisis-mode dashboard is a feature they add in days, not a new product. Crisis-driven urgency benefits incumbents.
killed: Pharmacies have zero incentive to share real-time stock data (benefits competitors). Crowdsourced pivot fails from frequency trap (individual patient searches rarely) and medication privacy concerns. Two-sided marketplace where one side won't participate.
