Liz Keen is the Director, Clinical Governance at the Australian Digital Health Agency. Liz has 14 years’ experience in the digital health space advocating for patient safety in tech solutions at a national level. Specialising in clinical governance, Liz is guided by her nursing experience and remains passionate about the importance of clinical safety, quality and continuous improvement in the design and development lifecycles of health tech solutions.
