Maryanne Mariyaselvam

Maryanne’s innovations include Non-injectable Arterial Connector and The WireSafe. Maryanne is currently undertaking a Doctorate at the University of Cambridge relating to Patient Safety in the NHS and is specifically researching errors in healthcare and the use of engineered solutions to prevent never events or serious adverse events.

Peter Young

Peter’s innovations include PneuX. He is a serial innovator having developed ten devices, four of which so far have been brought to market.
