Grateful to be included in Sara Roberts' list of UK healthtech leaders worth following. As Sara says, credibility is earned in the doing, and this post rounds up clinicians, founders, operators and specialists who've lived the problems they talk about, not just observed or commented on from the sidelines. It's a good reminder for anyone building in healthtech: the products that scale and earn trust are built from real experience and credibility - the ones where clinical rigour and safety are designed in from day one, not treated as a final checkbox. Proud to be in such good company of friends and peers in the space.
Some of the most impactful people in UK healthtech are not founders. They're enablers - the clinician, the lawyer, the product mind, the data brain, who decide whether a health product is actually deployable. Ten UK HealthTech enablers worth following. The pattern across all ten? Credibility has been earned in the 'doing'. Not commentary from the sidelines, but clinicians, operators and specialists who've experienced the problems they talk about. Follow them collectively and you get a wider picture of how a health idea becomes something that can be both bought and used. In no particular order 👇 Dr Alice McGee of Flo Health Inc. Clinical rigour inside a consumer femtech at scale. What medical credibility looks like in a product used by millions. Dr Claudia Pastides A doctor building in healthtech who writes honestly. Harry Bliss co-founder Siguru AI Building at the point where AI meets real clinical workflow. Hassan Chaudhury HonFAPM One of the sharpest voices on health data and commercial strategy, now building in stealth. Worth following for what emerges. Dr. Louise Rix Clinical product & AI advisory - turning clinical insight into actual product decisions. Dr. James Somauroo , co-founder & CEO SomX - building the media and comms layer of health tech, and a generous map of the whole ecosystem. Dr Jing Ouyang Doctor and founder Patchwork Health, for the workforce infrastructure health systems run on. Andy Wilkins Founder of FUTURE OF HEALTH systems-level thinking on where health is actually heading. Charlotte Lewis Healthtech lawyer Mills & Reeve - the lawyer founders actually need: an enabler, not a blocker. Danyal Akarca , co-founder Callosum the neuroscience-to-startup crossover, worth following early. Save it, follow each of them, and add the ones I've missed: who else is part of the essential scaffolding of healthtech that more people should know about? ----- I’m Sara - Founder of Well Purposed - a strategic advisory for funded HealthTech. Previously scaled Healthy Nibbles to £10M ARR across the UK, Europe and Africa. Now also Chair at Biomarx, NED at Youmi, and author of The Prevention Economy.
