Collaboration to deliver a Transformational Tool in Cancer Diagnostics Jun 30 2021
In partnership with the Precision Medicine Centre Queen’s University, Belfast, Sonrai Analytics is to lead an Artificial Intelligence in Health and Care Award to deliver novel AI cancer screenings across the NHS.
The Belfast-based AI company is the only lead representative from Northern Ireland to secure part of the UK-wide grant, subject to contract. £140 million will be available over four years to meet the aims set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.
Seven new specialised roles to be created in the coming months, will provide a specialist team to develop and train new AI algorithms on a cloud platform. Pathogists would be able to upload biopsy images and ‘run’ them against the algorithms for faster and more accurate results.
