Wellbeing
Wellbeing started as a pitch to a contact to be interviewed on The Hub's hospital radio show and led to the Digital Health Chats Podcast. The podcast introduces co-host Kateryna Portmann, a dynamic product developer whose career in digital health is informed by her recovery from a potentially life-altering car accident.
Kateryna shared her story and captured the Boot Camp sessions she holds as a mentor with digital health start ups in the early episodes. Later episodes discussed the work and perspectives of start up founder Lucy Jung and health service disruptor Dr Karen Morten.
The page is renamed to Wellbeing to broaden the scope of future blogs and podcast episodes beyond and inclusive of digital health.
