I'm joined by Dr Rumbi Mutenga, a doctor and the founder and CEO of Glacie Health, a women's health consultancy that helps design, launch and communicate women's health products, services and campaigns.

Rumbi didn't take the straight road into medicine. She was turned down for medicine at eighteen, trained as a midwife instead, and that's where her fire for women's health started. She qualified as a doctor during COVID, took her first step into health tech in her first year as a doctor, and now runs Glacie alongside her clinical work.

We get into:
• What training as a midwife taught her about the gaps in care for women
• The skills clinicians already have that health tech needs, and how medical students can get started
• Where technology can genuinely help patients, from smartwatches flagging irregular heartbeats to earlier diagnosis of endometriosis
• Why AI scribes in the NHS could be worrying, and why innovation can take years to reach NHS patients
• Her hardest lessons as a founder: pricing, revenue and letting someone go
• Whether patients trust creators more than their own GP
• Why she'd rather you tell her what ChatGPT said before your appointment
• What men can actually do to help move women's health forward
