The Digital Medical Devices CIP Programme gave me practical tools to structure and grow an existing consulting activity built on my background as a clinical scientist.
It connected clinical evidence, regulatory thinking, and business development into one coherent practice, sharpening my understanding of how digital medical devices are developed and evaluated.
It also gave me a clearer view of how my neuroscience and neuroimaging biomarker expertise fits into today's healthcare market.

Following my Executive MBA, I joined the Health Data CIP Programme to explore the practical applications of AI in healthcare.
The programme broadened my perspective, showing me that AI is not just a technology, but also a driver of innovation and transformation whose ethical and organisational implications must be carefully considered.
Working on my own startup project as part of the CAPSTONE was particularly valuable: it helped me refine the concept, challenge some of my assumptions and strengthen the foundations of what later became TheraCompass, a company developing ethical digital tools for psychology professionals.
