Keira Choy

Hi everyone! I'm Keira, a first year Biomedical Sciences student driven by the rapid advancement of medical technologies and AI-enabled tools transforming healthcare — from diagnosis to drug development. I'm standing as Technology in Healthcare Executive, because my background positions me to design events that help members stay informed on trends, and network with industry leaders and startups driving these advancements. 

My experiences sit at the intersection of technology and healthcare. At UCL's Zero-to-Demo Hackathon, I built an AI-enabled health tracking app for elderly people living alone, finishing third place — identifying a real clinical gap and creating a tech-driven solution. I won the ICL Enterprise Lab Challenge, where I developed a biodegradable syringe MVP, applying sustainable technology to a medical device to address clinical plastic waste. As founder of a 30+ member Biotechnology Society, I led discussions on AI-driven drug discovery and biotech innovations, transforming complex developments into accessible conversations.

My active engagement at healthtech conferences, startup fairs, and speaker events across UCL MedTech, Life Sciences, and Genetics societies, gives me sharp insight into topics and industry speakers to connect students with.

As the Technology in Healthcare Officer, my experiences equip me with firsthand insight and leadership skills to provide students with industry engagement, innovative inspiration, and advice to start a career in MedTech.
