Our team
Collectively, the Neotree team has a strong track record of leadership, mentorship, project and technical delivery in newborn and child health, building resilient partnerships and maximising impact.
Within our international team, we are co-developing the Neotree platform with healthcare professionals in the UK, Zimbabwe and Malawi, as well as collaborating between different UCL departments, such as the Institute for Global Health and UCL Computer Science. We also work with industry partners and with the Zimbabwean and Malawian Ministries of Health to develop integration with national databases.

Neotree
Neotree is a registered charity in England and Wales (No. 1186748) and a registered Company in the UK (No. 11422323). The charity has been set up to support the wider implementation of the Neotree digital health system. This includes rolling out the platform to additional countries to ensure the learnings from the research are being used to improve neonatal care. Our vision is for the technology to be used as a standard tool, in an informed way, by healthcare professionals around the world. This will help to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3, and save the lives of 1.2 million babies.
