Immersive Healing, Inclusive Leadership: The Future of Health Tech

🤝 Meet Our Guests:Rosanna Tucker – Co-Founder, CoverMeIsabel van de Keere – Founder, Immersive RehabRosanna was dismissed in a business meeting as “just a little girl from Brighton.” Isabel was told her company must be a side project.Neither of them listened.This episode is a conversation about what happens when you build something because no one else will. It’s about how sport and injury can both be starting points for change. It’s about immersive tech being used not to escape reality, but to rebuild it.Rosanna started her journey on a running track at age seven. She ended up co-founding a company that's redefining how we manage gig economy talent across fitness, sport, and now health. Isabel survived a traumatic brain injury, recovered, and then built a company to change how stroke and spinal patients experience rehab, because she lived through a system that didn’t work.We spoke about bias, and about how it feels to pitch for funding in a room full of people who don’t believe you belong there. We spoke about confidence, leadership, invisible labour, and what real innovation looks like when it's grounded in lived experience.This conversation moved me. And I think it might change how you think about leadership, tech, and the future of care.– Grace🔗 Spotify: Connecting the Dots by The Collective 🔗 Apple Podcasts: Connecting the Dots by The Collective🔗 YouTube: We Are The Collective_world Episode Shout outs:📣 Episode Shoutouts:Emma BarryJohn TreharneBeverlee BrinkworthDebra BabalolaShefali BohraKatherine Church 💼 Key Takeaways:The hidden infrastructure powering the gig economy – and what happens when it fails.How immersive environments are helping stroke survivors and spinal injury patients regain independence.Why innovation often starts with trying to fix your own broken day.What the fitness sector can learn from clinical rehab—and vice versa.The realities of being underestimated as a female founder, and why that might be your unfair advantage.
