About the event

The US healthtech market is thriving and continues to attract new innovators, with record levels of venture capital funding for digital health solutions. For European and UK healthtech companies ambitious enough to take on US expansion, the largest digital health market in the world awaits!

Conversely, the NHS has long been burdened with a reputation as an impenetrable health system for even the most exciting, international innovations – despite boasting world-enviable clinical and academic institutions.

A new partnership between Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, KHP Ventures – the first NHS-founded venture fund for digital health – and Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in LA establishes an exemplar partnership and exchange of cutting-edge digital innovations from across the UK and the US.

UK-based companies that have made the transatlantic leap understand how hard it can be. An airtight strategy for navigating the complicated rules, regulations and structures that make up the US healthcare system is non-negotiable. For even the UK and Europe’s most impactful digital health companies, success on the US stage is never guaranteed.

KHP Ventures and SomX invite founders, startups and healthtech entrepreneurs to join us to answer the question: what does it take to make it in the US?

Prepare to hear from experts in the US healthcare system and the UK leaders championing digital health at home and overseas at the forefront of this partnership, and the founders who’ve successfully crossed the Atlantic to launch in the US.

Speakers include:

Rt Hon Lord David Prior of Brampton, Former Chair of NHS England, Deputy Chairman UK and Global Senior Advisor at Lazard

Dr Nadine Hachach-Haram, Director of Clinical Innovation and Strategic Partnerships at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, Co-Managing Partner of KHP Ventures and CEO and Founder of Proximie

Dr. Nirdesh Gupta, Managing Director, Cedars-Sinai Technology Ventures

Prof. Dermot McGovern, Director, Precision Health and Translational Medicine, Cedars-Sinai

Krish Ramdoo, CEO & Founder, TympaHealth

Bryce Helgerson, COO & CO-Founder, Acolyte Health

Hosts: Jessica Smith, CXO, SomX and Helen Rowbottom, Director of NHS Partnerships, KHP Ventures
