MY WORK
Healthcare Innovator

Founder of MamAR App
I am developing an innovative health literacy app; MamAR, to empower pregnant and postnatal mothers with personalised, evidence-based support. I aim to bridge gaps in health literacy barriers for marginalised communities and ensure mothers feel informed and supported during this transformative time. The app was announced as a Winner of the 2024 UnLtd Award, recognising its transformative potential. -
Transforming Postnatal Care
I am creating a postnatal assessment tool to redefine the way postnatal appointments are conducted by introducing pre-appointment questionnaires via Accurx. This approach allows me to tailor each appointment to the mother’s specific concerns, making the experience more meaningful and patient-centred. I am also creating a database of inclusive postpartum support groups and networks, ensuring that all new mothers, regardless of ethnicity or cultural background, have access to essential resources and a supportive community. -
