Chen’s story
How Dr. Chen Mao Davies is Tackling Health Inequalities Through Innovation and Empathy.
A determined start: From Paddington Bear to the big screen
But Chen’s proudest achievements came not in the glamour of Hollywood, but in her next chapter—one driven by her own life’s challenges to improve people’s lives.
Inspired by Parenthood: A Personal Call to Action
Bridging the Gap in Health Equity
Anya was created with a simple but powerful mission: to ensure no one feels alone in their health journey. The platform combines AI-driven technology, personalised programmes, and community-based support to address critical gaps in care for parents, employees, and underserved communities.
Chen’s focus on health equity has driven Anya’s growth beyond parenting, tackling issues like menstrual health, fertility, and menopause—areas where stigma and poor accessibility have long created barriers. Whether it’s through providing 24/7 specialist support or fostering inclusive virtual communities, Anya is committed to creating solutions that meet people where they are, regardless of their circumstances.
Making a Measurable Difference
Anya’s impact speaks to the heart of its mission:
- Thousands of families supported across rural and urban areas, ensuring accessible care for those who need it most.
- Award-winning innovation, including a National AI Award for Healthcare, recognising Anya’s role in transforming support for underserved groups.
- Ongoing work with partners to deliver solutions that address real-world health inequalities.
For Chen, these milestones are not just achievements but reminders of the shared journey with the families and organisations that trust Anya to make a difference.
Gratitude and a Vision for the Future
Reflecting on Anya’s journey, Chen says:
“I didn’t set out to change the world—I just wanted to solve a problem I faced myself. Seeing Anya grow into a platform that genuinely helps families and addresses inequalities is humbling. But there’s still so much more to do.”
Chen and her team remain dedicated to expanding Anya’s reach, ensuring that health support is a right, not a privilege. From addressing gaps in maternity care to breaking taboos around menopause, Anya is building a future where everyone has access to the care they deserve.
