In this week’s episode of The Only Way is Ethics, host Dean Mawson is joined by Dr. Rachael Grimaldi, Co-founder of CardMedic and practising Anaesthetist.

Rachael’s journey is a remarkable one – from her frontline career as a clinician to becoming a digital health innovator who is reshaping how patients and clinicians communicate. Inspired by real-world challenges in care, she spotted a critical gap in patient communication and co-created CardMedic, a platform that helps overcome language and accessibility barriers at the bedside.

During the conversation, Rachael reflects on what inspired her to step into digital health innovation, the story behind CardMedic and the tangible difference it is making in practice, and why regulatory compliance and clinical safety are such vital foundations for digital adoption in the NHS. She also shares her experiences as a woman founder in health-tech, discussing the challenges she has faced, the opportunities she has embraced, and the advice she would give to others wanting to follow a similar path.

The episode closes with personal reflections on her journey so far and her vision for the future of digital health, offering a powerful message about leadership, resilience, and the safe and ethical use of technology to improve patient care.
