NHS ENGLAND: AI IN HEALTH AND CARE AWARDs
Zio Monitoring Service: iRhythm Technologies
- A complete ambulatory ECG monitoring service, utilising AI-led processing and analysis to support clinical workflows and improve the diagnostic yield and timeliness of cardiac monitoring.
- The Zio patch is a small wearable adhesive device placed on the chest. It records the heart's electrical activity for up to 14 days. It provides doctors with a detailed record of a patient's heart activity, which aids accurate diagnosis and the development of an optimal treatment plan.
- While Zio monitoring has shown promising results, we are conducting a multi-centre trial to evaluate its effectiveness and benefits over traditional methods.
NanoxAI Bone Health Solutions
- In this multi-centre trial, data are collected from the deployment of HealthVCF. This AI technology runs in the background analysing CT scans obtained for various indications to detect occult spinal fractures, which can be a marker for osteoporosis.
- Patients can be directed to fracture prevention programmes for lifestyle advice and medications where appropriate, to reduce future fracture risks associated with the disease.
- We are conducting an independent peer-review of the study.
Mia Mammography Intelligent Assessment: Kheiron Medical Technologies
- Mia is a deep learning software designed to assist radiologists in the detection of breast cancer in mammograms.
- Mia analyzes mammograms for potential abnormalities that may be indicative of cancer. The software could be used to triage mammograms, prioritising those that may require further examination by a radiologist, which could help reduce the workload of radiologists and improve the efficiency of breast cancer screening programs.
- Mia is currently under evaluation at multiple NHS sites as part of retrospective and prospective studies. A health economic evaluation is also underway.
