With a background in digital transformation across the NHS, Rachel understands both the challenges of scaling innovation in a complex system and the practical tools needed to achieve long-term impact. Tara Donnelly, founder of Digital Care and an influential healthcare advisor, has spent her career championing technology that empowers patients and improves care pathways. Having held senior leadership roles in the NHS, including at NHSX, she has been at the forefront of driving digital adoption at scale, from remote monitoring to patient-facing apps. Katherine Church, women’s health and digital health advisor, has a rich track record of guiding healthtech initiatives and advising organisations on strategy, innovation, and implementation. She is particularly passionate about ensuring that digital solutions meet the needs of women and underserved populations, bringing a critical lens on equity and inclusion in healthcare. Together, they’ll be exploring the most pressing issues facing the sector today, starting with the current landscape of digital healthand the role technology will play in delivering the NHS 10-Year Plan, closing gaps in digital literacy, and addressing the funding and sustainability challenges innovators face. The conversation will then turn to AI, ethics, and governance—looking at how safe adoption can be achieved and the risks boards and executives need to keep in mind as AI adoption accelerates. We’ll also discuss the evolving role of women in healthtech, the barriers they continue to face, and how mentorship, networks, and visibility are creating new opportunities for leadership and influence. Finally, we’ll explore the future of digital health, from personalised and preventative care to virtual wards, remote monitoring, and the integration of health and social care, all while ensuring equity remains at the core of innovation. The episode closes with a powerful question to each guest: “If you could leave our listeners with one piece of advice for digital health innovators or NHS leaders right now, what would it be?”This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal health advice.We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or liabilities that may arise from the use of this podcast.This podcast is not intended to replace professional medical advice.The views expressed in this podcast may not be those of the host or the management.
