This month we’re celebrating female entrepreneurship around the world with #SGWomen and are delighted to be hosting Jo Halliday & Elizabeth Fairley, Co-Founders of the Glasgow-based MedTech startup 'Talking Medicines'.

Talking Medicines is an award-winning startup that structures the unstructured voice of the patient. It informs pharmaceutical marketing departments on who is really using their medicines and how, and what they really think of their brands. Most recently, Talking Medicines have introduced a COVID-19 tracker to the app, allowing their community to help improve the quality of data we have on the virus.

We'll be discussing the future of MedTech and the changing role between pharma, communities, patients. as well as how Jo & Elizabeth are helping fight the pandemic with data, amplifying the voice of the patient. Check out Jo's recent article in the Scotsman for a deeper dive:
