Saile Villegas was raised by a single mother in a town in Mexico, surrounded by cartels and violence. With limited opportunities for women in tech, she came to Britain to pursue a career in computer science and now leads a team developing an Artificial Intelligence that can detect fractures to the same level as expert radiologists. As Director and Co-Founder of Seeai, a Medtech company that develops solutions to solve the shortage of radiologists, Saile’s innovation is Fraxpert, which supports healthcare professionals by detecting hard-to-see fractures.

“I plan to use the Women in Innovation Award to acquire capabilities to commercialise my healthcare innovation.”

“My long-term ambition is for Fraxpert to be an integral part of the routine practice for fracture diagnosis across Europe. I want to become a role model for young women of ethnic minority backgrounds and inspire them to challenge the status quo.”
