TII S2 Ep4 HealthMe Matt Venning

So I started the series with two episodes focused on digital therapeutics, and the use of technology in enhancing cognitive function. The next two episodes take one step back from the patient and the treatment, and look at ways that technology can support medical professionals to perform their jobs more effectively, so that they can help more people and inevitably save more lives. Next week’s episode is about helping nurses – to be more efficient, more effective and ultimately happier and more fulfilled in their work. 

 This week’s episode is about dramatically improving the work load of doctors – and other clinical professionals -, reducing their stress levels and clearing the way to a much better doctor/ patient relationship. 

Mohamed ALibashe is a medical doctor with extensive clinical research and managerial experience. He is also a phD and studied for his MBA at Imperial College London, where he met his co-founders and launched the business in 2019 

Imagine if you could have a consultation with your doctor and not only did he or she have all of your records at their fingertips, but they could spend the time during the appointment actually focusing on you and your medical condition, without the constant need to type up notes and update your records. At the end of your consultation, the report is automatically generated and can be shared with you and anyone else you want to share it with. 

As a doctor, you have a much higher quality patient interaction, and don’t waste vast amounts of time on patient admin.  

That is the purpose of HealthMe, a healthtech start up that is developing an AI-powered platform that automatically generates medical reports. 

I found the business through the Simulation for Digital Health accelerator at London’s South Bank University and it’s also supported by several other accelerators including Imperial College, Panaceas Stars and P4 Precision Medicine.
