Business
The stories that inspired the creation of many of the businesses that we work with are pretty amazing, and we think the stories of Oculo and its founder and CEO, Dr Kate Taylor, are right up there with the best of them.Kate trained as a surgeon but discovered she had an allergy to surgical gloves and went to work at McKinseys where she founded the Global Health Initiative through the World Economic Forum. She eventually found herself having a conversation with a Professor of Ophthalmology, wondering how their profession could do such a good job at using technology for diagnoses and management, but still rely upon letters and faxes for correspondence.Today Oculo is a Melbourne-based startup that is having a positive impact on improving patient outcomes, both locally and internationally. We love the energy that Kate brings to her organisation and the vision she has for creating positive change.To keep up to date with what is happening with Cogent, including when new episodes of this podcast are released, you can subscribe to our blog at cogent.co/blog.
