At myRipple, our specialist Health, Wellbeing, and Life Sciences team is dedicated to supporting businesses and innovators who are working on new and emerging technologies to solve society's biggest healthcare challenges. We were thrilled to attend the Barclays Health Elevate event, a premier gathering of industry experts, innovators, health and social care providers, academics, and health professionals. This event showcased how collaboration, innovation, and technology are transforming the healthcare industry.
A Day of Insight and Inspiration
The Barclays Health Elevate event was packed with insightful sessions and showcases that highlighted the future of healthcare, sustainable practices, disruptive technologies, and more.
Here are some of the key topics covered during the day:
The Future of Healthcare
One of the event's highlights was a session on "The Future of Healthcare," providing invaluable insights into the potential challenges and opportunities in the healthcare sector over the next 12 months and beyond. Experts discussed the evolving landscape, emphasising the need for adaptability and forward-thinking strategies to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare.
Sustainable Healthcare
Understanding the actions healthcare businesses can take to help advance net zero in their operations was another critical topic. The session on "Sustainable Healthcare" explored the importance of sustainability in healthcare, discussing practical steps and innovative solutions to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare operations. This aligns with myRipple's commitment to promoting environmentally responsible practices within the industry, where we are creating a rechargeable device, compared to other wearable tech, that only lasts 14 days.
Disruptive Technology
The integration of AI into regulated environments is a hot topic in healthcare. The "Disruptive Technology" session focused on strategies around how AI could potentially revolutionise healthcare delivery, improve patient outcomes, and streamline operations.
Meet the Innovators
The "Meet the Innovators" segment was a showcase of cutting-edge technical solutions in the health, wellbeing, and life sciences industry. Innovators presented their groundbreaking technologies, offering a glimpse into the future of healthcare. It was inspiring to see the passion and creativity driving these innovations, many of which have the potential to significantly improve patient care and wellbeing.
myRipple were also featured in the “Founder Spotlight” for Hallmark Luxury Care Homes, where our CEO, Dr. Rod Lane, discusses their experience in taking part in one of the Corporate Connections innovation challenges, with Claire Johnsen, Head of ESG and Innovation at Hallmark Luxury Care Homes.

Immersive Technology Showcase
Finally, the "Immersive Technology Showcase" explored the possibilities of virtual reality (VR) within healthcare. From training healthcare professionals to pain management and rehabilitation, VR is opening new avenues for enhancing patient care and treatment outcomes. This session highlighted some of the most exciting applications of VR, demonstrating its transformative potential in the healthcare industry.
