Dr Alan Pitt, CEO of VitalChat, Professor of Neuroradiology at Barrow Neurological Institute and serial entrepreneur joins the show.With decades of experience in healthcare, Alan is hugely passionate about making a difference.Having witnessed the transition from film to filmless & an early adopter of PACs, Alan has had a front row seat to how technology has changed healthcare - positively and negatively.Having made the successful transition from physician to entrepreneur, Alan knows what it takes to add real value in the space.Founding several successful companies - including a successful exit of Excelsius Robotics - and advising many more, Alan understands the pitfalls (no pun intended) that start-ups have encountered over the years & has seen firsthand how tech can often be more of a hindrance than a help.His passion for helping front-line workers is infectious, his mission of ‘bringing people together to manage the continuum of care’. Realising how overburdened nurses & other front-line workers are, Alan’s now founded VitalChat who are reimagining the traditional hospital room, augmenting equipment on the ward with video & ambient intelligence to ease the burden So many lessons in this one - how and perhaps more importantly how not to build innovation for healthcare.https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-webb-a5605768/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sumair-gill-086a151a1/
