We support projects at different stages of the innovation pathway to deliver meaningful change to health and care. These are some of the programmes of work and innovations we have supported.
| PROJECT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
C the Signs – Clinical decision support tool |
C the Signs is an integrated (Systm1 or EMIS) clinical decision support tool to aid cancer diagnosis. It uses AI to support GPs with risk-assessing patients by checking combinations of signs, symptoms, and risk factors, and will then suggesting an appropriate diagnostic pathway. The practice dashboard provides support for patient safety-netting. |
Detecting and monitoring for signs of poor esophageal health |
Cytosponge is a tool to detect Barrett’s Oesophagus – a precursor to oesophageal cancer – which is minimally invasive and can be used in primary care. Using Cytosponge a patient swallows a capsule, about the size of a multi-vitamin pill, which is attached to a cord. When swallowed, the capsule dissolves to release a sponge. The sponge can then be removed by a nurse a few minutes later collecting cells along its passage. These cells are then tested in the laboratory using an accurate method developed by the Fitzgerald Laboratory. Health Innovation East is looking at how to support the use of Cytosponge in primary care across the region. |
C2-Ai |
C2-Ai is an impact enhanced risk analysis tool which aims to help healthcare services manage waiting lists by triaging patients for elective care using key indicators related to efficiency and patient outcomes. This will also be used to develop other AI-based approaches to support the NHS recovery. |
