Government consortium co-invests in digital pathology and AI to improve cancer care in the UK
Philips will be the principal partner on cross-sector collaboration project PathLAKE, which has received £10 million of government funding to develop innovative AI in pathology. PathLAKE partners from University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and teaching hospitals and universities at Warwick, Belfast, Oxford and Nottingham will embed and demonstrate the diagnostic efficiency of digital pathology, computer-aided testing of pathology samples, and develop novel AI tools to personalise medicine by selecting the right patients for the best therapy.
Philips is also investing in Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital as part of project iCAIRD, a pan-Scotland consortium led by the University of Glasgow and comprised of partners across the NHS, academia and industry.
