Women in HealthTech – Panel 3: Breaking Barriers and Building the Future
Welcome to another special episode of The Only Way is Ethics as we continue our Women in HealthTech series. Today’s panel brings together three inspiring leaders who have not only navigated the challenges of the digital health landscape but have also paved the way for future generations of women in the industry.
Joining us today are:
Liz Ashall-Payne, CEO and Founder of ORCHA, a globally recognised organisation leading the way in assessing and accrediting digital health technologies. Liz has been a driving force in ensuring that digital health solutions meet the highest safety and quality standards, and she’ll be sharing her experiences in scaling a HealthTech company, tackling gender bias, and influencing policy to support women’s health.
Misbah Mahmood, Chief x Information Officer (CxIO) at Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, where she champions digital transformation to enhance patient and clinician experiences. Misbah is passionate about diversity and inclusion in HealthTech and will discuss strategies for fostering more inclusive workplaces, as well as the importance of mentorship in leadership development.
Dr. Jessica Morley, Postdoctoral Research Associate with expertise in digital health ethics and policy. Jessica’s work focuses on how technology can better serve underrepresented groups, particularly in women’s health. She will offer insights into how digital health innovations are addressing gaps in care and how we can bridge the skills gap for the next generation of HealthTech leaders.
What’s on the agenda?
We’ll be delving into the journeys of these trailblazers—how they entered HealthTech, the barriers they’ve faced, and the strategies they’ve used to succeed. We’ll also tackle the challenges women entrepreneurs encounter when scaling digital health solutions, the intersection of policy and technology in women’s health, and the critical role of collaboration over competition.
Importantly, we’ll explore resilience and well-being in leadership, as well as some of the tougher conversations around unsupportive behaviours among women in HealthTech—and how we can create more positive, collaborative environments.
