First, find what you want to do.
This sounds really trivial, but healthcare is massive field, and it's important to narrow down the field most important and pertinent to you. It's easy to get lost so it's important to pick one specific area to focus on. If you don't choose a specific focus you'll find yourself going in a million directions at once, and your world of concern will expand rapidly. Pick one very specific area.
Next, figure out the skills you need.
The reason healthcare tech is so difficult, is because it requires cross-disciplinary collaboration. It's impossible to tackle the healthcare world without knowledge in many different area. For example, if you want to create a medical device you'll need a plethora of skills. First, the medical know-how, next the hardware building, and finally the software that goes along with it. RIght there you can see a team of doctors, MechE's and computer scientists tackling the problem. In order to successfully collabore, you'll need a very specific set of skills outlined! Don't rush into the project thinking that you're gonna figure out who and what you need as you go along. Plan out and figure out the specific skills that will be needing during the project.
