The Only Way is Ethics – Women in Healthtech Month: Panel 1

Welcome to a special edition of The Only Way is Ethics! This month, we’re celebrating women in healthtech, exploring the challenges, opportunities, and the future of leadership in this ever-evolving space.

For our first panel, we have an incredible lineup of guests who are not only shaping the industry but also championing change in their own unique ways.

Joining us is Helen Mutton, Director of UK Operations at Alcidion. With a career rooted in driving digital transformation, Helen understands what it takes to influence positive change within an organisation. Her leadership style is built on authenticity, trust, and the belief that leadership isn’t about standing above others but lifting them up.

We’re also joined by Elsapeth McGuire, Head of Clinical at MySense. Elsapeth brings a wealth of experience in clinical leadership and digital health innovation. She’s passionate about tackling research bias in healthtech and ensuring that technology truly works for all patients, not just a select few.

And finally, we have Rebecca Wilson, a success coach dedicated to empowering women in digital. Rebecca works with women across the industry to overcome barriers like imposter syndrome, turn challenges into opportunities, and step into leadership roles with confidence.

Today, we’ll be discussing:

• Gender-Specific Challenges in Healthtech – From work-life balance to breaking through the glass ceiling, what’s holding women back, and how do we change it?

• Corporate Accountability for Gender Equality – How can companies move beyond performative inclusivity and embed real change through hiring policies and leadership development?

• The Future of Healthtech Leadership – The role of mentorship, the power of peer-to-peer support, and why representation matters.

• Research Bias in Healthtech – How do we ensure the technology we develop serves everyone fairly?

We’ll also explore the power of authentic leadership—leading with vulnerability, embracing growth moments, and creating spaces where people feel empowered to bring their whole selves to work. Because, ultimately, when we focus on trust, connection, and shared success, we build stronger teams and drive better outcomes.
