Approach

Where clinical judgement meets commercial reality.

Health is the most regulated, highest-stakes industry there is. Good intentions and a clever product aren’t enough. The work has to survive contact with clinicians, patients, payers, and regulators. That’s the brief.

01  Clarify

Before anything is built or pitched, the clinical claim has to hold. We start by stress-testing the assumption: what problem, for whom, and what evidence makes it true.

02  Operate

Workflow design, governance frameworks, clinician adoption, incident response, regulatory posture. The unglamorous work that decides whether a product lives or dies in production.

03  Translate

Clinical language for boards. Commercial language for clinicians. Regulatory language for both. Most failures in healthtech are translation failures. We close that gap.

Who we work with

Operators who can’t afford to get the clinical layer wrong.

Digital health founders

Pre-seed to Series B. When the next round, the next regulator, or the next pilot needs a clinician and an operator at the table.

Hospital & health service leaders

Standing up new models of care (hospital-at-home, virtual wards, integrated MDTs) without the bandwidth in-house.

Investors & corporate development

Clinical due diligence on healthtech deals. Independent read on clinical risk, adoption likelihood, and team capability.

Public sector & policy

Translating clinical reality into program design, procurement criteria, and evaluation frameworks that actually measure the right thing.

About

Built by operators who have shipped product.

Moxiflox Medical pairs frontline clinical judgement with commercial and operational execution, from the same people who built StatDoctor.

Dr Anurag Ganugapati

Dr Anurag Ganugapati

Partner & Clinical Lead

A doctor and healthcare operator working across Australian healthcare, digital health, and medical workforce strategy. Moxiflox Medical is his advisory practice.

Years of full-time locum work across metro, rural, and remote hospitals gave him a working view of the system’s operational pressure points: staff shortages, inefficient workforce management, rising locum costs, and the widening gap between clinicians and administration.

As founder of StatDoctor, he built one of Australia’s emerging healthcare workforce platforms, focused on changing how hospitals and doctors connect, reducing reliance on traditional agencies, improving workforce sustainability, and designing better systems for both sides of the roster.

Alongside that, he advises healthcare businesses, startups, and medical service providers on growth strategy, operations, workforce design, and navigating the realities of the Australian healthcare landscape. The throughline: frontline clinical insight, commercial execution, and system-level thinking, in the same room.

Prahlad Payda

Prahlad Payda

Partner & Operational Lead

A healthcare operator and commercial strategist whose background spans the payer side, consumer health technology, and global transformation consulting, across Bupa, Apple Health, and Accenture. That mix gives him an unusually complete view of how healthcare actually gets paid for, built, and rolled out.

As co-founder of StatDoctor, he owns the operational engine: hospital relationships, contracting, privacy and compliance, and the manual processes most workforce platforms never bother to fix.

He likes connecting dots and building momentum, especially when it makes healthcare easier.
