Abstract
Dr Angela Lim is CEO and co-founder of Clearhead. Clearhead is an online platform for mental health and wellbeing. Essentially, Clearhead is using A.I to build a digital therapist that aims to improve access and personalisation of care by providing choice, convenience and control to the consumer.
She is a paediatric trainee at Starship Hospital, passionate about tackling inequality and has taken a break from clinical practice in order to focus on developing scalable innovative solutions in health. She believes that technology has the potential to deliver the transformative change required to improve health outcomes and hopes Clearhead will serve as an example of best practice implemented at scale.
She has been involved in multiple research projects including during her sabbatical at the Harvard School of Public Health with Professor Kawachi, which resulted in a publication in the Journal Epidemiology and Infection. Her leadership has been widely recognised and she was a Finalist in the 2017 Young New Zealander of the Year award.
Part of the IET’s Global EngTalk series, celebrating our 150th anniversary.
