Product Manager of Australian Startup Shares How Remote Developers Help Them Grow
We had an opportunity to communicate with Edward Gregorian, Product Manager at?Brainchanger?– BOOST Recovery Program, which empowers people to re-think chronic pain and live well again. It was created by a person living with pain who was curious and committed to getting her life back. Tina McIntosh created the digital self-management app that put science into practice for her to recover from over ten years of chronic neck and arm pain.
Edward shared with us how Qubit Labs is helping them grow their startup, increase productivity and solve Australian development market challenges by providing remote developers from Eastern Europe and Asia.
Q: Please, tell us more about your project
My name is Edward Grigoryan, I am the product manager for a small Australian startup –?Brainchanger. We are a telemedicine startup that provides services and products in?mobile applications?to patients with chronic pain that has been persistent for a long period, usually over six months. Any common pain. Chronic pain is a very complicated medical problem that requires a good solution. It costs most countries a lot of money. For example, the US costs approximately $600.000 billion a year. It includes insurance payouts, working hours, etc.?In Australia, it is roughly $120,000 billion per year.
A better and more cost-effective solution that currently needs to be more mainstream currently exists. For the last 20-30 years, there has been lots of science-based proof of how to deal with chronic pain, which is not diffused in the current medical industry. Coping with chronic pain has a lot to do with educating the patients about th reasons of why pain dont go away and where it comes from. Your lifestyle plays a significant role in reducing the pain, but just the right amount of it and most people are scared of exercising not to worsen the pain.
We have clinicians who are like coaches for our patients. They coach people with chronic pain with 12 weeks special program. We also have an app that is still developing, but we would like to focus on automation and mobile application to simplify the process. Now, our app of the?MVP stage.

Q: How do you feel about working with a fully remote team since it is your first experience??
It is wonderful. I like it very much. This is my first time starting, and I think it is amazing that we are running a company fully remotely. I am personally in San Diego, but the company is based in Australia, and our program director is Shangai, some of our team are in Australia and the developer we hired with?Qubit Labs?is in?Kazakhstan. There are no complications with communication, the company runs well.
