Oxford Health BRC wins government funding for its CHRONOS project
A project using artificial intelligence to develop digital triage tools for mental health clinicians (CHRONOS) has been successful in the latest round of the Artificial Intelligence in Health and Care Award. Oxford Health BRC was one of a handful of organisations to receive the funding, which was announced by the Health Secretary Matt Hancock on June 16. The AI Award is making £140 million available over four years to accelerate the testing and evaluation of artificial intelligence technologies which meet the aims set out in the NHS Long Term Plan. The Award means that Oxford Health BRC will be able to develop digital tools to make it easier for clinicians in secondary mental health care to rapidly identify the most appropriate treatments for their patients. This is the first time a mental health project has received the AI Award.
