What drives me?

I am an experienced healthcare technology innovator and purpose-driven entrepreneur, committed to ensuring innovations reach their full potential to improve human health and improve societal outcomes.

In 2016, I founded Immersive Rehab, a digital therapeutics startup focused on creating engaging and personalised neurorehabili­tation programmes using virtual reality with the aim to improve patient outcomes­ and to enhance patient assessments by healthcare professionals. 

I have also led a number of strategic research and technology transfer projects at Imperial College London and University College London, I have been in charge of global innovation and policy projects at several international nonprofits, NGOs and intergovernmental organisations like UNESCO and the Global Disability Innovation Hub, and have worked in academia as a scientist and professor. 

As Founder & Principal Innovation Consultant at Get Soaked Studio, I am currently advising purpose-driven organisations of all sizes - with a particular focus on healthcare technology - on their commercialisation, innovation and product strategy.

With a background in Electro-Mechanical Engineering (MSc) and as a Biomedical Engineering Scientist (PhD), I am passionate about healthcare technologies, digital health, immersive technologies and its applications in healthcare, using tech for good, social entrepreneurship and innovation, and promoting diversity in science & tech.
