Dr Dom Pimenta graduated with triple distinction from UCL MBBS in 2012. After practicing for ten years in the NHS as a cardiologist, Dr Pimenta became a pharmaceutical physician via a stint in COVID ICU. During this time Dr Pimenta ran large-scale digital health trials and published in the field of applied AI in healthcare.

Dr Pimenta became frustrated by the increasing power of clinical AI models in academia but the paucity of application in the real-world. Deciding to make this his career mission, Dr Pimenta was accepted to Europe's best accelerator programme, Entrepreneur First, and met his co-founder Christopher Tan, an up and coming machine learning scientist. Together they founded TORTUS, building the world's first AI agent for healthcare, a true co-pilot that can not only take over all software tasks from physicians, but use other forms of AI as well. Their vision is to bring clinical AI tools into the hands of every physician, using any software system, anywhere. Dr Pimenta was previously the founding CEO and later chair of The Healthcare Workers' Foundation, a charity that raised £3.2m to support healthcare workers during the 2020 COVID pandemic.

Dr Pimenta has received multiple awards for his work, including the Young Investigator Award at the European Society of Preventative Cardiology and the Royal Academy of Engineers President's Award for Services to the Pandemic.

When not founding companies and charities, Dr Pimenta is a very busy husband and father of three, as well as the owner of a particularly famous cat.
