We are exploring how AI can be used to optimize triage and target resources to deliver significant improvements for the NHS and healthcare systems overall.

We are a highly collaborative, cross-institution Centre of Excellence which pools expertise in AI, healthcare and data from leaders in industry, research and clinical practice around the world. Drawing on this, the Centre will develop new diagnostic and treatment solutions across targeted disease pathways.

Our current clinical AI pathways include stroke, liver, cardio-vascular, mental health, and these typically include multidisciplinary approach with clinical lead, academic data scientists & AI technology partner working together to address key healthcare challenges.
