Clarum provides a digital health solution for chronic pain sufferers. It features a mobile app for tracking pain levels and software for general practitioners (GPs) to visualise analysed patients’ data. Chronic pain has a significant impact on the quality of life and places a major burden on the healthcare system. Our goal is to empower patients to enhance the communication with physicians. Moreover, data-driven insights will help patients receive better treatment options and enhance their overall quality of life.

Rita Giordano
Dr Rita Giordano is a physicist with a PhD in crystallography. She obtained a master’s degree in particle physics from the University of Catania in collaboration with CERN in Switzerland. She did her PhD at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble (France) where she developed statistical methods for protein crystallography. After, she moved to Switzerland to start a postdoctoral position at the Swiss Light Source. Her project was a collaboration with Dectris AG, a manufacturer of X-ray detectors, to characterise detectors for protein crystallography. For her second postdoc, she joined the CIMR (Cambridge Institute for Medical Research), at the University of Cambridge, as a research associate. She worked on software development for protein crystallography. After years of research in crystallography, she switched to data science, working in Germany, France, and the UK. After being a data scientist at the Royal Society of Chemistry, she decided to work as an independent data visualisation consultant, founding the Visual Data Studio. Her clients’ portfolio includes companies like Pearson UK and LinkedIn and universities such as UCL. Currently, she works on a book on statistics and data visualisation for crystallography, for the publisher CRC Press. In 2024, she launched in Cambridge Clarum Ltd, a digital health start-up
