LEADERSHIP
Dr Jonathan O’Keeffe
CEO & Founder
Doctor of Medicine (Oxford), Machine Learning Engineer (UCL) & Neuroscientist (Cambridge)
As a practising neurologist, Jonathan saw that his impact in clinical practice was linear — you see one patient, you impact one patient, patient number doubles, impact doubles, and you start again. Instead, he wanted to combine his neurology and computer science background to impact deeper than he ever could using one discipline alone. Perfectly positioned to see the flaws in the system, and with the expertise to solve them, he set about building Machine Medicine – a company jam-packed with AI, clinical acumen, and brazen ambition.
