This is a very special episode of the Podcast as it is the first video podcast, recorded live during the Final Pitch Event of the 2023 Children's Health Impact Accelerator, in London at the Science Gallery. If you wish to watch this episode, you can find it over on our Thinking of Oscar You Tube page.
In October 2023, David had the fortune of chairing an accelerator dedicated to Children’s Health in collaboration with London based Accelerator and Venture Builder Founders Factory, on behalf of UKRI / Innovate UK.
During the event we were fortunate enough to have a wonderful quartet of innovators who agreed to come on stage and talk about the opportunities, and some of the things to look out for, when financing a start-up focused on children’s health.
We are therefore delighted to share with you all a live recording of the panel conversation which included insights and guidance from Paediatric Venture leaders, John Parker and Marc Ramis, Children’s Health Innovation leader from Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Emma Hughes and wonderfully chaired by Founders Factory’s own healthtech investor Claire Mongeau.
Full details of each of the 10 wonderful start-ups who formed part of the accelerator can be found below:
🌟Happy Marlo
🌟ConsoneAI Ltd
🌟Goal Manager®
🌟Tutti Toot
🌟Hibi Health
🌟Grow with Iris
🌟Envisionit Deep AI®
🌟Moti Me
🌟Lorestry
🌟Tender Touch
I hope you all enjoy the conversation and please share and continue to shout from the rooftops the importance of investment in children’s health, not in the future, but now!

Our guest today on the Not Mini Adult’s Podcast is Entrepreneur, CEO and start-up founder of mOm Incubators, James Roberts.
James is the inventor of a new neonatal incubator, that has helped premature babies thrive in NHS hospitals and in war-torn Ukraine. During our conversation he shares some invaluable advice for anyone looking to create an impact start-up, especially in the world of children’s health.
The World Health Organization estimates that there are nearly one million preventable neonatal deaths each year. Keeping the infant warm could save thousands of new-borns each day. However, most incubators are too large, complicated, and expensive for universal use.
The mOm Essential Incubator is a compact, cost-effective machine that has been designed to work in multiple environments. It is being used in a series of pilots in the NHS to ease the need for short-term admission to special care, and to help maintain the core temperature of babies being moved around hospitals.
The Incubator has also been deployed in emerging economies and war zones. Over 75 incubators have been sent to Ukraine, where they are being used to keep babies warm in hospitals and bomb shelters transformed into make-shift neonatal wards.
James and his team have won numerous awards. The mom prototype caught the attention of the James Dyson Foundation, which in 2014 awarded him the global James Dyson Award for innovation.
In 2018 James was named in MIT’s 35 under 35 and in 2023 he was presented with one of the most prestigious individual awards by the Royal Academy of Engineering – The Princess Royal Silver Medal.
I had the pleasure of inviting James to be a mentor on the recent Child Health Impact Accelerator that I chaired on behalf of Innovate UK and in partnership with Founders Factory. And having got to know James, this was a story that we just had to share.

In this episode of the NMA Podcast we discuss the incredibly important topic of inequalities within children healthcare. Addressing this issue is a priority for all children’s hospital across the UK and in many, many more around the world.
One in three children in the UK lives in relative poverty and research shows a clear and consistent link between child poverty and paediatric morbidity and mortality.
There is no better person to discuss this with than Dr Ian Sinha who is a Consultant Respiratory Paediatrician at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital as well as a Professor within the Division of Child Health at the University of Liverpool.Ian’s research focuses on paediatric asthma and neonatal lung disease. And he is particularly interested in the impact of social and health inequalities on children.
This is a fantastic onversation with Ian where he explains more about this issue and what measures he and his team are taking to try and make change.

On this episode of the Not Mini Adults Podcast we talk to Jon Manning who is the the CEO and Founder of Arthur Ellis: Mental Health Support an organisation focused on Mental Health through Well-being Skills Development Programmes and Support for Businesses who Drive Positive Change in the Workplace. They also operate a 1:1 Mentoring Service to provide support to children (from 8 years old), young people and adults. Working with individuals to help them develop strategies for their exact needs to help them recover and move forward from any mental health related issues.
Jon has experienced living with mental health conditions for over 20 years and with a background in the commercial world, he set up Arthur Ellis: Mental Health Support to positively impact the way wellbeing and mental health is proactively managed throughout society. Jon believed that awareness needs to be more actionable if we really want to gain control over it rather than being purely focused on recognising symptoms, meaning people are already sick.
Jon leads the march on helping individuals look further than signposting to encourage people across the country to learn to manage mental health before the need for professional intervention. Through his work with organisations Jon and his team are then able to offer subsidised support for children in need of mental health support.
This is a very important conversation in light of the awareness and increasing problems that society has helping people of all ages with mental health conditions, no more so that with many children up and down the country and across the world. We were lucky enough to be treated to a little therapy during this episode and we hope you enjoy it and take something away with you.

On this weeks Podcast we are delighted to welcome Sarah Marikos who is the Executive Director of the ACE Resource Network.
ACE standing for 'Adverse Childhood Experiences'.Sarah’s professional career has focused on the science of things that can hurt us and heal us. As an undergraduate at the University of California Berkeley, Sarah studied and conducted research on the US national opioid epidemic, the emergence of 2009’s H1N1 in-fluenza, and other major public health problems.
But witnessing Hurricane Katrina’s devastating and inequitable impact on communities influenced her to pivot from the pre-med track to public health, deciding to pursue a master’s in public health (MPH) in epidemiology to better understand the confluence of factors that influence the health and well-being of people and communities.
Today Sarah says that she enjoys connecting people and data to improve systems in order to prevent harm and help people recover and heal.
In this episode we talk to Sarah about her journey and most importantly the impact that discovering the research around Adverse Childhood Experiences has on families and the impact that it could have on society if it was better understood by all.

October 11th 2021 is the ‘Play In Hospital Week’ in association with the National Association of Hospital Play Specialists and this week’s guests successfully applied to launch the festivities so we are delighted that this podcast will be able to coincide with recogning the incredibly impotent role that Play Specialists have to making the lives of children and their parents that little bit more bearable whilst they are in hospital.
Jo Pinney is a Senior Health Play Specialist at the Oxford Children’s Hospital and has been a Health Play Specialist since 2001- even before there was a dedicated wing for the children’s hospital. Jo has worked in several different areas, with her current role as a senior HPS within E.N.T and Plastics outpatients where she has been since 2012.Jo says that she ‘loves her role and find it especially rewarding when we have hooked or sucked an interesting find from a child’s ear or nose’.
Grace Welby is very special to Hannah and I as she was one of the pay specialists alongside Sam Mortlock. Grace has worked at Oxford Children’s Hospitals for 7 years, starting as a Play Assistant on an acute ward whilst training on the job & qualifying as a Health Play Specialist 5 years ago.
Grace says that “she very much enjoys her role as a Play Specialist, normalising the hospital environment for the patient & their families through play, having the time to interact & distract children from what can be a scary experience but seeing them smile is the most rewarding thing!”

This week we are delighted to welcome technologist, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Timothy Chou to the Podcast. We are going to discuss the power of the Cloud and what it could mean for children’s healthcare and research.
In his own words, Timothy has been lucky enough to have a career spanning academia, successful (and not so successful) start-ups and large corporations and he is also an author.
As President of Oracle’s original cloud business, Oracle On Demand, he grew the cloud business from it’s very beginning. Today he serves on the Board of Directors of Blackbaud and Teradata.
Timothy started his career at one of the original Kleiner Perkins start-ups, Tandem Computers. Now as the Chairman of the Alchemist Accelerator he is focused on next generation enterprise software start-ups.
Dr. Chou started teaching at Stanford University in 1982 and launched the university’s first class on cloud computing. For those of you that listened Episode 25 of Podcast, this is where Timothy met his now good friend Dr Anthony Chang and where the shoots of an idea were formed to begin a project to connect all healthcare machines in all the children’s hospitals in the world, which like the consumer Internet, may completely change children’s healthcare on the planet.
Today we discuss this story and understand more about the opportunity that Timothy and his team and trying to uncover.
