EnAcuity specialises in AI-powered medical imaging software which is something I'm particularly passionate about 🤖 Utilising EnAcuity's AI imaging software, surgeons are able view tissues more clearly during laparoscopic surgery, reducing the chances of accidental injuries & improving patient outcomes 🩸 EnAcuity’s software can be used with equipment that’s already found in the operating theatre, making it an easy, sustainable way to improve existing technology ♻️ The team were recently awarded an Innovate UK Smart Grant of £300,840 to roll their software out in hospitals across the UK 🇬🇧 Just 2p of every £1 invested in venture capital funding in the UK goes to female-founded businesses, with female Deeptech founders receiving even less 💸 If we want future technologies to be developed in a more equitable way, we need women in STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Maths) to build companies based on their unique perspectives & experiences 👩🏽🔬👩🏽⚕️ 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 💰 -- ♻ Re-share if this resonated with you. 👩🏽⚕️Follow Dr Fiona Pathiraja-Møller for more.
Huge respect for spotlighting this. The gap in funding for female founders is staggering, and posts like this make a real difference in awareness. EnAcuity’s approach is a perfect example of how innovation + diverse perspectives can transform entire industries.

EnAcuity's concept is such a good idea. Creating a new solution that uses existing equipment and technology seems like something that could be applied to other areas of medicine too.
Really encouraging to see investments going toward innovations that improve patient care without adding complexity for surgeons. 🙏
Technology that integrates with existing equipment is a smart path to rapid adoption.
Thrilled to see Maria and the team getting the recognition (and funding) they deserve. A perfect example of what happens when we back female founders with both capital and confidence. 👏
This is incredibly inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Inspiring to see female founders like Dr Maria pushing the boundaries of surgical tech and making healthcare safer while driving equity in STEM innovation.
Such exciting work - exactly the kind of innovation that shows why we need more women leading in deeptech. Huge congratulations to Maria Leiloglou & the EnAcuity team on pushing surgical tech forward 👏
