Before Fuqua, Ben worked as a Clinical Research Manager at Eko Health, a digital health company developing AI-powered stethoscopes to aid in the detection of cardiopulmonary diseases. At Eko, Ben spearheaded real-world evidence generation efforts to implement data-driven insights into go-to-market strategies. Prior to this role, Ben worked at Vixiar Medical where he supported clinical trial design and execution to guide the development and regulatory submission of the company’s novel medical device. In addition to being a Margolis Scholar, Ben is a recipient of the Manning Family Foundation Scholarship in Health Care Business Leadership. His policy interests include leveraging real-world evidence to drive regulatory decision-making and exploring innovative solutions to address policy barriers to digital care delivery models.
