David Doherty

In 2017, David launched the HorseTech Conference with a sold-out inaugural event at the Royal Veterinary College in London. The conference, reaching worldwide audiences via its free live-stream, showcased the transformative potential of cutting-edge technologies for horses and riders.

The Conference was enhanced by the HorseTech Tour. The inaugural tour included a visit to the Queen Mother Equine Hospital and an exclusive preview of the Kurtsystem at Kingwood Stud in Lambourne (this is a groundbreaking £20 million monorail designed to pretrain racehorses).

The HorseTech Conference serves as a platform for exchanging knowledge and exploring both emerging innovations and rediscovered ancient technologies. It operates at the forefront of a transformational shift that will see medicine evolve into a proactive, lifespan-focused discipline.

The Conference has been held in Dubai (as part of the Dubai International Horse Fair), Ireland (alongside Europe's biggest BreezeUp Sale), Cheltenham (during the legendary Festival) & San Diego (on the eve of the Breeders’ Cup - the world’s biggest horse racing event). We're now planning to announce our 8th annual conference & we welcome your participation. Watch & share all the presentations via the conference website: HorseTechConference.com

David studied Medicine at University College London and co-founded 3GDoctor.com in 2006. This was the world’s first service offering fully documented mobile video consultations with registered doctors. Adopting an open approach to innovation, the company advanced mHealth and wellness services, addressing critical needs for accessibility, quality, safety, and patient privacy.

In 2009, David launched the Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit in collaboration with the GSMA, Continua Health Alliance, and the NHS, predicting the rise of the "mHealth decade." This era, defined by the convergence of mobile technology (the newest mass medium) and healthcare, led David to coin the term "mHealth." By 2020, society's reliance on mobile technology had reached unprecedented levels, with governments leveraging mobile apps for COVID-19 lockdowns and digital health passports. David's insights have been featured in outlets such as the BBC (Newsnight), The Guardian, Time Magazine, The Telegraph, and Harvard Business Review.

David offers private consulting services to individuals and organizations. His clients include leading brands across healthcare, mobile, pharma and medical device sectors, as well as governments, investors, and researchers.
