About

I am a doctor (MRCGP, UK, 2026) and digital health researcher passionate about transforming healthcare through technology and evidence-based innovation. After completing a PhD in Digital Health at Imperial College London under the supervision of Lord Professor Darzi, I have led research on wearables, remote monitoring, and digital safety systems across NHS and academic settings. My work has been published in npj Digital Medicine, Lancet EClinicalMedicine, and other high-impact journals. More recently, I have been involved with creating an evaluation framework for integrated neighbourhoods. Beyond academia, I am the Co-founder of Scrubbing In, an educational medical podcast which received sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, reaching an international audience of clinicians. I thrive at the intersection of clinical care, research, and strategy, helping organisations evaluate and implement digital innovations that improve patient outcomes and system efficiency. I’m particularly interested in roles that connect clinical insight with digital transformation, health strategy, and innovation consulting.
