Healthily, a self-care platform helping people assess, track and manage their health created by Your.MD, has announced three new senior hires to its clinical advisory board.

 London-based GP and clinical lecturer Dr Patricia Schartau, joins Dr Vishal Gulati who heads up health tech investment for Draper Esprit and Julia Cawthorne, a clinical safety officer and former clinical risk manager at BT Global Health.

Healthily chief executive Matteo Berlucchi said: “Over the last year we have seen a huge acceleration in user growth, and we are delighted that our platform continues to attract the best talent to help expand our vision to help a billion people find their health through clinical grade information and technology.”

Schartau said she was “absolutely delighted” to be joining Healthily’s Clinical Advisory Board. “I think strengthening pre-primary care in this way and turning our focus to preventative medicine whilst growing informed effective self-care, is key to helping people lead happier, healthier lives.

“I am passionate about lifestyle medicine, healthcare innovation and informatics, and I believe that combining these can be used as a force for good, both to improve people’s quality of life and reduce pressure on health services.”
