AI for Health
Why it matters
Health systems generate more data than clinicians can read. AI can turn images, signals and records into earlier, fairer and more personal care, provided it is trustworthy and fits clinical practice.
Key challenges
- Data quality, bias and missing context in health records
- Explaining model output to clinicians and patients
- Privacy, consent and ethical use of sensitive data
- Moving from prototype to everyday clinical workflow
Our approach
We combine machine learning, medical image and signal analysis, digital health and bibliometric methods, working with clinicians and health information researchers.
