Sickness to prevention
As healthcare shifts from treating illness to preventing it, our team has supported innovations that enable earlier diagnosis and intervention, while addressing health inequalities and improving access to care.
Collaborating on a world-first Digital Twin
A disease-agnostic Digital Twin has been developed from an idea to a programme of national and international significance in the last year. Using digital replicas of physical healthcare systems, processes, assets and patients, the programme will allow healthcare organisations to test scenarios, predict outcomes, optimise services, and improve decision-making.
The SYNTHEKID testbed used in our region is the world’ s first population health digital twin registered with the Digital Twin Consortium. Its first project will focus on improving the outcomes of chronic kidney disease. Partnerships have been formed with West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, Kidney Research UK and AstraZeneca, along with a coalition of universities and innovators. Launch of Digital Twin project
