🟣 Last but not least, meet Hadeel Ayoub and Dr. Ana Leite! 🟣

In 2018, Hadeel made headlines across the world for the innovation unlike any other: a smart glove based on assisted technology translating any sign into any spoken language. The movement is picked up by a sensor in the glove and the sentence is then announced in a computerised voice with over 40 different language options. In doing this, BrightSign is a leading a larger conversation about accessible technology.

Ana is a computational biologist with extensive experience in both academia and industry. After completing her second PhD at MIT, she first pursued academic research at UCL before joining BenevolentAI as a bioinformatician. As the director of Bioinformatics, her team and Ana are working on developing E2E solutions in the drug discovery area.

🟣 Our next speaker is an experienced entrepreneur that founded the world’s first virtual fertility clinic Apricity. Meet the founder and current CEO of Apricity: Caroline Noublanche! 🟣

Caroline’s journey as an entrepreneur started young, when she co-founded a very successful mobile applications company (Prylos) at the age of 27. Before launching Apricity she then went on to join a start-up incubator as an ‘entrepreneur in residence’ where she helped build and launch multiple organisations in the MedTech space.

In her pursuits, she quickly recognised that IVF had experienced extraordinarily little digital transformation in the past 40 years and was an area in need of disruption – this led her to found Apricity. Through the combination of world-leading fertility experts and AI specialists, patients can manage their fully customised treatment journey through one mobile app that enables them to do as much of the IVF treatment from their homes as possible.

To hear more about Caroline’s fascinating journey, book your tickets for Saturday’s conference now – only 3 DAYS TO GO!
