Dr Kyle Turner MAICD is originally from Dubbo in rural New South Wales, his family’s Wiradjuri country, and now resides in Melbourne. In 2019, he founded Pearlii, which uses world-first AI technology to scan teeth and gums for dental problems, providing free dental check-ups and free oral health education to people who could not otherwise access these basic health needs.
Previously, as an Epidemiologist, Kyle held research and teaching positions at the University of Oxford and the University of Melbourne, publishing widely on the burden of chronic disease – with a heavy focus on prevention. He has a demonstrated passion for improving health outcomes for disadvantaged groups, such as First Nation people and prisoners.
