A surgeon’s perspective on the future of healthtech: A HTQ spotlight on Professor Sneh Khemka

​In a fast-moving industry where funding and innovation often take centre stage, HealthTechQuity is here to shine a light on something just as important—the people and missions driving real change in healthcare.

The HealthTechQuity Spotlight Series is a collection of 1-on-1 conversations with leaders across HealthTech, MedTech, and BioTech, hosted by founder Perrin Joel. In each 20-minute interview, we explore the innovations, challenges, and bold ideas shaping the future of healthcare, while keeping one key question in mind: How can technology be a force for good in improving global health equity?

Expect insights, inspiration, and candid perspectives from those at the forefront of the industry—because when mission-driven people come together, real impact happens.

In this HealthTechQuity Spotlight, we sit down with Professor Sneh Khemka, CBE, a former cancer surgeon turned global healthcare innovator and strategist. From leading at Bupa and Aetna to shaping healthcare transformation in Saudi Arabia, Sneh has spent his career reimagining how healthcare is delivered.

Our discussion explores the shift from treatment to prevention, the evolving role of AI and technology in care models, and the growing investment focus on tech-enabled services rather than standalone innovations. We also dive into the biggest challenges facing HealthTech today, from funding models to market saturation, and why emerging markets may be the next big source of healthcare innovation.

With his latest venture, Archimed Health, Sneh is tackling access to critical outpatient care, and in this conversation, he shares what needs to change for HealthTech to truly make a difference.
