About Bea

Building AI. Researching it. Applying it.

Bea entered medical AI early, working at the intersection of engineering, clinical questions and health data long before artificial intelligence became a mainstream healthcare conversation.

Her work connects machine learning, digital medicine and hormonal health with a practical founder's view: what can be built, what needs evidence, and what responsible technology should look like in the real world.

What Bea Works On

Making sense of medicine through technology. Where AI meets human biology.

AI + Medicine

How artificial intelligence is changing how we understand, diagnose and treat human health.

Human Health Data

From wearables and voice to digital biomarkers and multimodal AI.

Digital Medicine

How data, technology and AI can create more personalized and effective healthcare.

Hormones & Female Medicine

Using AI and multimodal data to better understand hormonal transitions and female-specific physiology.

Ideas & Speaking Topics

The future of medicine depends on turning data into understanding.

Our bodies produce a constant stream of information. The real challenge is understanding what those signals mean and how AI can turn them into better medicine.

Your Body Is Data

Most of us don't think about the signals we produce every day. From heartbeat to hormone levels, multimodal AI can uncover patterns in human health that were previously invisible.

AI Is Changing Medicine

But not how you think. Beyond the hype: where AI is already making a real difference in medical research, diagnostics and complex health data.

The Medicine We Never Built for Women

How daily hormones and AI expose some of medicine's oldest blind spots, and what we can do differently.

Europe's Health Data Paradox

We have the data. We have the science. So why is turning them into medical innovation still so difficult?

Testimonials

"Beatrice opened the event with a Science Slam that was engaging, accessible, and scientifically well-founded. The discussion that followed particularly benefited from her research in HealthTech and AI, and from her ability to communicate the potential of artificial intelligence in healthcare in a way that was both clear and compelling for a broad audience. We experienced Beatrice as an inspiring expert with a strong technical understanding of AI and its applications in women's health and healthcare more broadly. Working with Beatrice was seamless and highly professional."
