Digital health and out-of-hospital care, from Boorloo/Perth.

I'm a registered paramedic working at Corpuls on digital solutions for ambulance services around the world. Most of what I do sits between the clinicians using the technology and the people building it.

Away from that: travel, animals, good food, and a developing interest in boardgames.

Writing

Are paramedics ready for the digital health revolution? Maybe. But the training, governance and policy frameworks weren't built for us — and where they were, we often weren't in the room. 2025
