Hex Miller-Bakewell

Co-founder of Health Data Avatar

About

I'm Hex, and frustrations with my own health journey are what drove me into health tech. I've always enjoyed maths and coding, leading me to a PhD in quantum computing, and then work as a data scientist, which is where I developed my skills working with senstive data and security.

Running OpenClaw with Claude subs is dead. Now what?

As of April 4th, Claude subscriptions no longer cover usage on third-party tools like @OpenClaw.

Quantum Computer Researcher turned Health Tech and Data Privacy Founder

I'm Hex, I used to research and teach Quantum Computing at Oxford. I started my time there very ill, and only got more ill over the course of my PhD. But I'm one of the lucky ones - in 2024 I found a treatment that worked, restoring my mobility and brain function, and since then I've been working in Health Tech, keenly aware of how important healthcare is, and how many failings our current systems show.

I've worked as a quantum computer scientist, software engineer, and data scientist. I've released open-source packages for quantum computing, AI, and music theory. I've written and taught university courses, plus the PSF's first Environmental Data Science grant. I've been a researcher in Trust in Human-Computer Interactions, and been responsible for security, privacy, and compliance. I do these because I love doing them, so please ask me any questions you have about them!

What context do you carry about your health that no hospital record ever has?

Hospital records tell you (but mostly clinicians/insurers) what happened in a clinic. They don't tell anyone that that prescribed antibiotic didn't work, how your mental health affected your symptoms and the timeline of how it all escalated, or that you skipped that medication because the side effects made you unable to work. They don't tell you what your baseline actually is/was, or what your symptoms look like at 3am versus 3pm, or that the dose that works for most people doesn't work for you. This is the context that only you have. What's yours? What do you know about your own health that no system has ever captured? And what would change if you could effortlessly share it with you clinician?
