For my entire career, I have worked to bring electronic inventions to healthcare markets where there is a critical and urgent need.

For me, the ability to use semiconductor sequencing to provide a medical diagnosis in just a few hours that once took days is a crucial step in saving the lives of patients. This is particularly significant for the treatment of sepsis, where every minute matters.

When patients are admitted to hospital for elective surgery or non-urgent conditions, their vital signs are only monitored every four hours, unless they have been identified as being at high risk of deterioration.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't even do my A-levels.

My private financial situation is such that I don't need to worry about my investments. I don't have much to invest.

If your only arbiter of anything is money, really you should... go and rob banks.

People always ask is it hard being an entrepreneur and a mum, and the answer is 'yes.'

The thing where I thought I made it was when I paid my house off. It wasn't actually a moment on stage - it was the first bit of financial security. It was the first time I looked at my house, and it was all paid off, and I thought, 'Alright. Jokes paid for this.'
