Prime Minister Theresa May will use a speech today in Cheshire to highlight the potential of AI to diagnose cancer earlier. Cancer has a higher successful treatment rate the earlier it’s diagnosed. The later the diagnosis, the greater the risk of death or long-term debilitating effects. In her speech, Mrs May will say:
"Late diagnosis of otherwise treatable illnesses is one of the biggest causes of avoidable deaths.

A startup which is able to detect cardiac arrests using artificial intelligence has announced it will be expanding its service to further European cities later this year. Corti has partnered with the European Emergency Number Association (EENA) to expand its service to four additional cities. The startup, based in Copenhagen, will select which cities it will expand its pilot to next in June. The pilot in Copenhagen has been a resounding success measured by the analysis released today. Based...
DeepHeart, an AI for cardiac health, is using consumer wearables to reduce the number of people with hypertension and sleep apnea who go undetected. According to the World Health Organisation, 1.1 billion people have chronic high blood pressure — known as hypertension. Of these individuals, one in five are undiagnosed. Meanwhile, sleep apnea — where disturbances are caused by having one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep — is a problem with around 24...
AI is a key enabler in the launch of GP at Hand, a free NHS service from babylon health which provides 24/7 access to healthcare from a mobile app. GP at Hand aims to reduce the burden on GPs while also cutting the waiting time it takes for a patient to see a doctor from the current average of two weeks, to just a matter of minutes. Dr Howard Freeman MBE, senior GP said: “GP at Hand is a window into what the NHS of the future will look like. When innovative NHS GPs embrace babylon...
A UK government-commissioned industrial strategy review of the life sciences sector has identified health-based AI as a growth opportunity.
The UK is a leader in artificial intelligence while also benefiting from a wealth of patient data as part of its National Health Service. Both of these factors make the UK a potential hotbed for the development of health-focused AI. “AI is likely to be used widely in healthcare and it should be the...
The potential for AI to diagnose and even predict the onset of serious medical conditions is being demonstrated in pioneering research. More reliable predictions Starting with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common cause of dementia, a new algorithm is able to predict its onset with 84 percent accuracy. The author of the research, Sulantha Sanjeewa, a computer scientist at McGill University in Canada, believes it could help to slow or one day even stop the onset of debilitating symptoms which...
