Nearly 60 trusts and health boards are now benefitting from radiology AI from Harrison.ai

More than 58 NHS trusts and health boards, spanning more than 150 hospitals and roughly 40 per cent of the NHS, currently have Harrison.ai live in clinical use. In 2023, the £21 million AI Diagnostic Fund selected Harrison.ai CXR across six imaging networks. Every site is now live, many for over a year, which was recognised by the Prime Minister’s AI Exemplar Award. Trusts that started through the fund are now choosing to self-fund continued access.

At NHS Grampian, the share of lung cancer patients treated within the 62-day target rose from 52 per cent to 100 per cent. At Doncaster and Bassetlaw, where CT brain AI has been deployed, AI triage of overnight scans is estimated to save around £134,400 a year and roughly 20 per cent of emergency patients become eligible for earlier discharge. At The Christie, a review of 955 lateral chest x-rays found a 39 per cent increase in vertebral fragility fracture detection.

The company gave an example of how earlier diagnosis saves lives. Dianne Covey had a persistent cough. Although not overly worried, her GP sent her for a chest x-ray. It showed a few chronic findings and a very subtle area of increased opacification, the kind that might have earned a ‘probably nothing, come back in six weeks’ follow-up, the company said. “This time, the AI zoomed in on it. Dianne had a same-day CT, a biopsy two weeks later and a resection soon after. Diagnosed with Stage I lung cancer, she is now all clear,” Harrison.ai explained.
