The Covid-19 pandemic has presented many opportunities to utilise AI and new technologies.

AI startup Faculty wins contract to predict future requirements for the UK’s NHS Faculty, a VC-backed artificial intelligence start-up, has won a tender to work with the NHS to make better predictions about its future requirements for patients, based on data drawn from how it handled the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2019, Faculty raised a $10.5M Series A funding round from UK-based VCs Local Globe, GMG Ventures, and, Jaan Tallinn, one of Skype’s founding engineers, giving it a valuation o...

02:15 AM NHSX has pioneered an anonymous bank of over 40,000 scans collected over the course of the pandemic. The National COVID-19 Chest Imaging Database (NCCID) collects X-Rays, CT and MRI scans to speed up diagnosis of the disease, enabling clinicians to implement treatment plans faster and more effectively as well as allowing them to predict more accurately which patients may end up in a critical condition. Established in April 2020 with the British Society of Thoracic Imaging (BSTI), Royal...

It is hoped that the database can speed up coronavirus diagnosis and help assess whether a patient will be likely to end up in a critical condition. Currently, the rapid rise in cases has put a strain on most of the countrys hospitals, with reports that a person with COVID-19 symptoms is admitted every 30 seconds.  The health secretary, Matt Hancock, said that the NCCID was "a testament to how technology can help save lives in the UK". An algorithm based on the NCCID images is currently being ...

Increased speed and accuracy in diagnosis can lead to early medical intervention and save lives NHSX, a unit tasked with driving the digital transformation of care in the NHS, has brought together over 40,000 CT scans, MRIs and X-rays from more than 10,000 patients across the UK during the course of the pandemic. Access to this National COVID-19 Chest Imaging Database (NCCID) has now been extended to hospitals and universities across the country who are using the images to track patterns and ma...
