NHSX is backing a smartphone app aimed as revolutionising early detection of kidney disease by turning the camera into a clinical-grade tool.
The technology, which was developed by Healthy.io, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse, test and produce results from images taken by the smartphone camera.
The support from NHSX means that 500,000 testing kits will be rolled out to patients over the next three years who are at risk of developing chronic kidney disease, such as those with diabetes and high blood pressure.
