Dr Tamsin Holland Brown Paediatrician, Founder of Hear Glue Ear and Co-Clinical Lead for the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme Tamsin works as a Paediatrician in Cambridge and specialises in children that are deaf. This led her focus on children with temporary hearing loss due to glue ear (a common condition experienced by 80% children at least once, where fluid builds up behind the ear drum, causing temporary deafness in young children), she created an affordable medical device to improve hearing and an app to improve childhood developmental skills. This became the only solution for remote patient management of glue ear during the COVID pandemic in 2020. The device and the app won innovation and paediatric awards, with NICE ‘highly commending’ the app as a shared learning example and the UK app awards awarding ‘Children’s App Of The Year’. Her journey led her to become an educator in digital health and clinical entrepreneurship, becoming the Co-Clinical Lead for the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur programme in 2021. www.hearglueearapp.com hearglueear.wordpress.com Email: [email protected] X: @hearglueear
