SXSW Sydney Health & Med Tech
As part of SXSW Sydney 2024, CulturalPulse led a panel in the Health & MedTech category, focusing on the latest advancements in healthcare and the role of technology in improving patient outcomes. With over 1,000 sessions and 300,000 attendees, SXSW Sydney is a dynamic gathering of global innovators to drive forward new ideas across tech, screen, music, games, and culture, all set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
CulturalPulse was selected to host a panel session that will showcase our proprietary Virtual Midwife tech solution as part of SXSW’s Health & Med Tech agenda, demonstrating the latest advances in healthcare, improving patient outcomes, and driving technical innovation in medicine.
The ‘Virtual Midwife’ Panel: Can AI be the quick-fix for more inclusive and positive healthcare for multicultural Australian women?
CulturalPulse’s panel discussion unearthed the role of AI in enhancing healthcare for multicultural Australian women. Our panel conversation moderated by Mary Coustas (known for her character ‘Effie’) includes industry experts:
Dr. Kavita Krishnan: Breastfeeding and Perinatal Specialist
Reg Raghavan: CEO of CulturalPulse and Tech Lead
Amanda Morkos: New mother and user experience expert
Together, they explored how AI ‘Virtual Midwife’ will enhance antenatal communication and inclusivity for the 51% of Australia that identifies as Culturally and Linguistically Diverse. We discussed inequity, the need for language translation and the state of culturally insensitive healthcare. We delved into real-life experiences and explore how ‘Virtual Midwife’ will improve outcomes for multicultural women and their babies.
With one-third of all births in Australia involving multicultural women each year, addressing the disparities in access to quality care during pregnancy is critical. CulturalPulse’s ‘Virtual Midwife’ is an innovative AI solution designed to deliver culturally sensitive and positive health experiences for multicultural women in Australia.
This panel discussion for the Health and Tech category at SXSW Sydney highlighted the importance of this groundbreaking technology and its potential to revolutionise antenatal care for multicultural women.
