The initiative, known as the Digital Health Ecosystem Wales network, will initially run for a period of two years.

In a new blog for BJ-HC, Eleonora Harwich, Head of Digital and Technological Innovation at Reform, looks at the application of AI in healthcare and argues the hype must not ‘cloud judgement around relevance and design’.

Universities are going faster and further in realising Simon Stevens’ vision of the NHS being a ‘hotbed of innovation’, as BJ-HC found out on a visit to the School of Pharmacy at Keele University.

In the wake of the Cambridge Analytica - Facebook data scandal, researchers set out a roadmap for the health and science community to restore the public's trust in big data.

The announcement comes after a new review found that more than 230 million errors occur every year in England in the medication process.

A recent NHS Digital survey of social workers highlighted that the majority wanted to see easier methods of information-sharing to support their work. A key challenge to achieving this, unsurprisingly, was sharing data with health organisations.

“Our quest is to harness large-scale data analysis and technology to power the UK as a leader in the field of precision health,” Professor Andrew Morris, Health Data Research UK Director, said at the Festival of Genomics in London last month.

BJ-HC spoke to representatives from Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and its charity, CW+, about digital health innovation success and the importance of frontline clinician support.
