Transforming healthcare through Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already reshaping healthcare by improving pathway efficiency and boosting productivity, with early evidence showing promise in speeding up diagnoses and enabling more personalised care.
However, barriers remain. Challenges like disconnected infrastructure, difficulties in accessing data, and navigating an inherently complex health system continue to slow wider adoption.
We are using our expertise in health innovation and system design to address these issues. We are working with partners to ensure AI is applied where it can make the greatest impact, informed by evidence and rooted in real-world needs.
AI in London healthcare: The reality behind the hype
In collaboration with the Health Foundation, we have published a first of its kind report to give an overview of AI adoption across NHS organisations in London. The report, AI in London healthcare: The reality behind the hype, explores how AI is being implemented, the challenges organisations face, and the steps needed to move from isolated pilots to system-wide adoption.
The findings highlight that while AI is already making an impact, adoption remains fragmented. Scaling AI effectively will require investment in digital infrastructure, workforce training, and greater collaboration across the NHS, academia, and industry. Read the full report.
Using AI to drive prevention
In collaboration with NHS North East London and Health Navigator (HN), we have launched a new initiative using AI and personalised clinical coaching to identify patients at high risk of requiring unplanned emergency care, enabling the provision of personalised and preventative support.
Our animations: Understanding AI in healthcare
To help healthcare leaders navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape, we’ve created two animations to cut through the noise and focus on practical approaches to AI in healthcare.
Our first animation sets the scene of how AI has got to the point it is at today. It aims to inspire a thoughtful and strategic AI adoption to improve patient outcomes.
Our second animation delves into how AI’s potential extends beyond addressing immediate improvement opportunities and efficiency gains. It explores AI’s transformative role in shaping future health systems to be more participatory, proactive, personalised and preventative, laying the groundwork for a more resilient and patient-centred healthcare ecosystem.
