Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms which can provide faster diagnosis and treatments for clinicians are to be developed as part of a new partnership. The London Medical Imaging and AI Centre for Value-Based Healthcare and digital transformation consultancy Answer have teamed up to help pave the way for AI-enabled hospitals. The platforms will be developed to support clinicians with faster diagnosis and treatments, personalised therapies, and effective screening across a range of conditions and procedures. Federated learning – a model seeking to address the problem of data governance and privacy by training algorithms collaboratively without exchanging the data itself – will also be used to help address long standing privacy issues. Beverley Bryant, chief digital information officer for Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and senior responsible owner for the London Medical Imaging and AI Centre for Value-Based Healthcare, said: "This is a unique programme to implement AI at scale within the NHS. "Our partnership with Answer is another key step toward deploying this open-source technology in clinical environments.
