SomX

Yep.

We’re at the Future Health at BMJ Group event today and Sam Shah just asked a very interesting question. A lot of clinicians in the room means a lot of questions around value - cool technology doesn’t matter if it doesn’t actually solve a problem for people in this room. And clinicians care less about business model and more about patients. Hence the question here. We talk a lot about empowerment. But is there a flip side? Louise Thwaites and Sukrti Nagpal said it depends on the patient/person, but yes, there can be. #healthtech #digitalhealth #BMJFH

We're looking for a new hire - someone with biz dev experience, frustrated with the status quo, who craves the freedom to innovate. Alongside your role growing the agency side of the business, you'll be working directly with Dr. James Somauroo on what makes SomX so innovative - a department called Special Projects, identifying and nurturing new revenue streams and opportunities. If it seems mysterious, that's because it is - we can't tell you everything we're up to until you're hired, but there are clues in the JD.

Last week, some of our team got together for some good old fashioned IRL bonding! In typical SomX fashion, we celebrated the wins, put our heads together to strategise, ate a delicious lunch, and then spent the afternoon brainstorming and filming fun content. Here's a photo of us live from a Healthtech Pigeon hunting mission. 👀 And yes, Dr. James Somauroo always wears a tux to work... 😉 📸 Jessica Somauroo, Dr. James Somauroo, Belle Taylor, Hollie Ruda, Adama Barrie, Daisy M.

Work in venture capital? This one’s for you…👇 Despite some progress, women still only make up 38% of those working in VC –with just 22% holding leadership positions. 🤯 We recently supported Cavenagh Health with the launch of their Women in Venture Capital initiative in central London. The goal? To turn conversation into tangible action by uniting those with the power to make change. Bringing together women from across the industry, the evening sparked honest and inspiring conversations on the challenges and aspirations of women in VC. 🎤 In an engaging fireside chat chat Jia-Yi H., Partner at Cathay Capital, and Hanadi Jabado DL, Managing Partner at Sana Capital, addressed key issues including diversity, leadership barriers and how those in positions of influence can help shape a more inclusive and equitable environment. To ensure the initiative truly supports those it seeks to help, Cavenagh Health has launched a survey to further understand the lived experiences and perspectives of VC professionals.

From events and filming days, to websites and PR wins, safe to say September kept the SomX team VERY busy. Here are some of our highlights ⬇️ 🎨 Cavenagh Health launched their Women in VC initiative to drive real change around gender inequalities in the VC sector. We supported the team with event preparation and branded collateral. 🧑💻 It was a website-creation heavy month for our design team, as they developed not one, not two, but three websites for our clients Concert Bio, Ori Biotech and Qureight 🗣️We teamed up with Google Cloud for another SomX Healthtech Talks – this time with Nik Sharma, CEO of BioCorteX, and Yulia Lampi, PhD, CSO of Coding Bio, to discuss the applications of AI in biotech. Special thanks to Nik and Yulia for joining us for such an insightful conversation 🎥 Oh, how we love a filming day.. We headed over to London BioScience Innovation Centre (LBIC) for a footage-packed day at Ori Biotech's London labs. 🗞️We secured major PR coverage for our clients TORTUS, EQL, KELES, Qureight and Ochre Bio in publications such as Sifted, Intelligent Health.tech, Simedics (The Journal of mHealth), and Pharmaceutical-Technology – to name a few. 📝 We attended the third annual Hardian Health Tech Summit, where we gained expert insights into everything you could want to know about healthtech regulation and market access. 🐦 Our team days came back with full force! This month: some A* GCSE drama standard role play, a sales lesson from Jay from the Inbetweeners (you probably had to be there), unhealthy amounts of cookie dough – and of course – some quality team-building. What a month. And October is already shaping up to be twice as eventful...see you on the other side. #healthcarecommunications #healthtech #digitalhealth #biotech

Europe is bursting at the seams with digital health innovation, but many brilliant innovators struggle to access the capital needed to scale 👉 enter KELES! We loved working with David Buller and Laurent van Lerberghe to support the launch of KELES, their brand new digital health VC firm. With impressive networks and unrivalled sector experience, David and Laurent are perfectly suited as a Managing Partner pair. Their commitment to bridging the European digital health funding gap will see them investing in proven solutions across research and development (R&D), diagnostics, and patient care. With coverage of the launch already secured in several national and pan-European publications, it's shaping up to be a big 2024/25 for the KELES team!

“If a mitochondrion had a LinkedIn page it would definitely say ex-McKinsey” Nik Sharma at Healthtech Talks with Google Cloud. If you weren't able to join us, here is what you missed...👇 We brought together some of the best brains in the biotech – Nik Sharma, CEO BioCorteX, and Yulia Lampi, PhD, CSO Coding Bio – to ask: has biology arrived too late to the AI party? 🤔 📊 Biotech doesn’t have an AI problem, it has a data problem. From the lab onwards, much of the data remains analogue, unstructured, and lacks standardisation – creating obstacles to a smooth path for innovation. 🧬 We can't "solve" biology with AI. Human biology is a complex, fascinating, and chaotic field that defies complete modelling...there will always be more to uncover. 🦾 Can we balance AI innovation and trust? It's human nature to distrust new tech – especially when we can't "see" how it works – but if AI can accelerate drug discovery and development, surely we owe it to patients to try?! Amazing to see so many new and familiar faces and of course huge thank you to Amber Hilton and the Google Cloud team for hosting us. And we're wishing Amber all our best as she embarks on a hiatus to raise her incoming tiny healthtech bro. Coming soon to a healthtech event near you... 👶🏼 #somx #healthtech #biotech #digitalhealth #healthtechcomms Jessica Somauroo Amber Hilton
