Founders Keepers #13 Dr Owain Rhys Hughes - How Cinapsis supports digital, connected care and healthcare staff work-life balance
Designed in conjunction with practising physicians, Cinapsis SmartReferrals reduces emergency department attendances in the UK by 83% through providing advice & supportive guidance. Family practitioners, nurses, paramedics and pharmacists can contact specialists directly through the platform for clinical advice on a patient case both quickly and securely. Since Cinapsis launched in 2019, thousands of doctors’ hours have been saved for the NHS, and Cinapsis has made it possible for 70% of non-urgent referrals (such as dermatology) to be managed remotely.
Owain is a former NHS surgeon with almost two decades of experience working in frontline clinical medicine. He has been awarded a personal Fellowship from the Medical Research Council and has twice received the British Journal of Surgery Prize.
In this short episode, we cover scrappiness in startups; paving the way for surgical care in the healthtech space; and, more philosophically, following your own path in life.
