On a mission to break down the barriers to innovation within the global digital health industry, Michael is an NHS doctor, NHS Innovation Accelerator Fellow and MBA Graduate by background. Over the last few years he has been the Co-founder and Managing director of Blüm Health Ltd, an industry-disrupting digital health organisation that collaboratively works with NHS trusts, Universities and SMEs to design, build, and scale digital health software solutions, in the hope to empower solo entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into a reality whilst also enabling large, rigid institutions to unlock their innovation potential.

Alongside the Blüm Team, his focus is to build NHS-ready software and get it right first time. This means building solutions that are regulatory compliant, patient-centric, and accessible from the outset, and this model has seen the successful implementation of seven solutions across the public and private sector in just three years. Michael also supports SMEs planning to internationalise early, with Blüm being on the Department for Business and Trades ‘Go Global’ Showcase.
