So Who Cares Anyway E 29 Inclusive Future in Your Pocket
What happens when digital dignity meets lived experience, and co-production becomes a tool for trust, autonomy, and health creation?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Naveed Iqbal, GP, humanitarian, and founder of Triton Health, a platform shaped by and for people with learning disabilities. From refugee camps to frontline care, Naveed shares how fear became realism, neutrality became survival, and persistence became a way to work with the impossible.
We explore gamification as a therapeutic tool, Kiki the AI companion, and why learning disability nurses are quiet heroes whose value is recognised abroad but underplayed at home. Naveed reflects on trust as infrastructure, community as clinical frontier, and how tweets became partnerships, and partnerships became funding.
Together, we ask what it means to build health rather than prevent illness, and how digital tools might help people create their own wellbeing. This is an episode about emotional realism, systems thinking, and the quiet courage it takes to keep banging on about what matters.
Whoever you are, however you care, this episode invites you to reimagine what health could feel like, and who gets to shape it.
