From hospital corridors to surgical health pioneer: Dr Rosie Scott's journey

Definition Health's Medical Director and Co-Founder, Dr. Rosie Scott, has been featured in a recent article published by the Kent Surrey Sussex Health Innovation Network.

The article, titled "From Hospital Corridors to Surgical Health Pioneers," offers an inspiring look into Dr. Scott’s journey from her role as a Consultant Radiologist in the NHS to co-founding Definition Health with Sandeep Chauhan.

In the article, Dr. Scott shares how Definition Health was born from a desire to enhance surgical efficiency, reduce unnecessary appointments, and improve patient care. Today, Definition Health is a leading provider of personalised digital health solutions for surgery, partnering with hospitals across both the NHS and private healthcare sectors.

Reflecting on her entrepreneurial journey, Dr. Scott highlights the critical support received from the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme and Health Innovation KSS. These partnerships have been pivotal in helping Definition Health secure funding, expand its reach, and continue to innovate in surgical care.

"One of the most important lessons was the power of collaboration. Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be a solitary journey. It’s beneficial to partner with others when it makes sense, combining strengths to create more viable projects. I like to think of it as there are lots of stars in the sky and we can form little constellations if we work together more closely. I believe that while each entrepreneur’s journey is unique, the best ideas often emerge from collaboration rather than competition."

Looking ahead, the article highlights our ongoing projects focused on reducing carbon emissions in surgery, expanding our solutions into international markets, and supporting hospitals worldwide with digital health technologies to address capacity challenges.
