“Teleradiology has immense potential when combined with the right AI tools,” said Dr Kumar. “Medica is perfectly placed to lead this transformation, ensuring that technology is used responsibly to support radiologists and enhance patient outcomes.”
Hassan Chaudhury has been appointed digital propositions lead. He recently supported commercial growth at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust and serves as commercial director of DATA-CAN, the UK’s health data research hub for cancer.
“Digital innovation in diagnostics is not just about tech; it’s about value for patients, clinicians and systems,” said Chaudhury. “I’m thrilled to help Medica create new digital pathways that are clinically robust and commercially sustainable.”
