Mohammad Al-Ubaydli: Joining-up records of 15 million UK citizens

Mohammad Al-Ubaydli is the founder and CEO of Patients Know Best (PKB), the personal health record platform that has crossed six million registered users in the UK and was the first Personal Health Record to integrate with the NHS App. He trained as a physician at Cambridge, worked as a staff scientist at the US National Institutes of Health, before founding Patients Know Best in 2008. He has written eight books on healthcare technology, and in 2012 was elected an Ashoka Fellow as a social entrepreneur. Mohammad lives with a rare disease, an experience that led him to conclude that patients, not institutions, should hold the canonical copy of their own health data. The platform now underpins joined-up records for more than fifteen million UK citizens, and is one of the few B Corp social enterprises operating at that scale inside the NHS.
