Talking HealthTech - Investment, Pitching & Going Global

Published: March 23, 2021, 4 p.m.

Dom Raban, Co-Founder and CEO of Xploro set out on a mission-driven tech project to build a product that could bridge the gap in communication between paediatric patients and their consultants around what they can expect from their hospital experience. It is fair to say that Dom has well and truly achieved his goal with Xploro, a mobile application that uses augmented reality, gameplay and artificial intelligence to communicate healthcare information to children, reducing their stress and anxiety associated with hospitalisation. In this episode, Dom discusses the challenges that come with working on a mission-based project and pitching them to investors, as well as how to determine who the right investor is when it comes to a tech-for-good product. We also delve into Xploro’s unique board of advisors, the benefits of spinning out from an agency and the challenges surrounding adapting a product for the global market.
