About Dr. Karan Mehta

Dr Karan Mehta wanted nothing more than to help heal patients at a practical level when he first embarked on his career journey. But his experience in the healthcare sector made him rethink his future, as he saw patients return again and again with the same health issues, just months after treatment – with little or no improvement. Following a conversation with a close relative, he realised that an alternative approach to health would better incentivise patients to adopt better lifestyle choices. The decision led him to course-correct, and in 2023, Dr. Karan Mehta launched Bluezone, the first insurtech to provide specialist term Life insurance to people suffering from diabetes. Dr. Karan Mehta, based in London, GB, is currently a Founder and CEO at Blueberry Life. He brings experience from previous roles at NHS, YuLife and Startupbootcamp FinTech. He holds a 2019 - 2024 Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in Health Data Science @ UCL.
