Accelerate - Emma Meehan: Technical Founder in a Clinical World
Episode 218: In this episode of Accelerate Podcast, host Nicola Graham is joined by Emma Meehan — Founder, CEO and CTO of KinetikIQ, a company transforming smartphones into full-body 3D biomechanics systems using LiDAR and machine learning, without the need for wearables.
ㅤ
With a background in computer science, software engineering, and competitive weightlifting, Emma sits at the intersection of technology, sport, and performance innovation. Since founding KinetikIQ, she has become one of the leading emerging voices in SportsTech — recognised through awards including Winner of the Barca Innovation Challenge 2025, KPMG Global Tech Innovator Ireland, and Best New Sports Business of the Year at the Irish Sport Awards.
ㅤ
At the centre of the conversation is the challenge of building a deep-tech company in sport and healthtech — balancing innovation, investment, and real-world application. Emma shares how her technical background shaped the development of KinetikIQ, the role of the Irish startup ecosystem in the company’s growth, and the realities of scaling as a female founder in a highly competitive space.
ㅤ
This episode explores the process of building technology from the ground up — from product development and machine learning, to venture capital, startup growth, and the future of biomechanics and movement analysis.
