Presented by Karina Malhotra, Managing Director & Founder of healthcare improvement consultancy Acumentice, and supported by the Health Innovation Network South London and DigitalHealth.London, the podcast will shine a light on those seeking to help revolutionise the NHS and healthcare more widely.
If you are interested in healthcare innovation, or just innovation more generally, this is the podcast for you!
What happens when a cardiologist calls bullshit on NHS innovation — and then builds an AI company to fix it?
In this episode, Karina speaks with Dr Dom Pimenta, CEO & Founder of Tortus AI, about why clinicians spend more time clicking than caring, how ambient AI is already doubling patient throughput, and why he quit a consultant cardiology career, took out a second mortgage and bet everything on a prototype he built in a week.
Dom shares how Tortus AI went from a black-and-white Python demo to processing 15,000 consultations a month across NHS hospitals, and why he believes Dr. ChatGPT will soon be better than the doctor.
If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build AI that works on the NHS frontline — this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen now and discover why Tortus AI is one of the most talked about companies in NHS health tech.
