Liz Ashall Payne

Liz Ashall-Payne Founder & CEO Passionate about the opportunities that technology and particularly apps offer to improve health and care efficiencies and outcomes, Liz founded ORCHA, the Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Application in 2015, determined to present a way to offer much needed guidance to app developers to help raise app quality, as well as helping the public and professionals to confidently find and apply apps that could genuinely improve public, patient and organisational outcomes.

Identifying the opportunities that new technology present to improve health and care efficiencies and outcomes, and passionate about the potential apps have to shape the future of health and care, Liz was determined to find a way to offer much needed guidance to app developers to help improve app quality, as well as helping the public and professionals to confidently find and apply apps that could really help their needs, while navigating round those that present less obvious risks or carry dubious levels of validity or value.

Interested in digital innovations in Health and Care she is motivated to continuously transform care, utilising resources most effectively with the opportunities these innovations offer.
