Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust and Qure.ai have announced the early results of a pilot study using an innovative radiology AI solution to read and differentiate between normal and abnormal chest X-rays (CXRs).

qXR, a CE class IIb MDR cleared solution developed by Qure, was deployed with the hypothesis to categorise normal x-rays - approximately 40% of the caseload from GP and outpatient requests - and augment overall reporting efficiency.

The Department of Health and Social Care has just published a strategy for medical technology. The Highland Marketing advisory board asked what chief information officers need to know about it; and how they can make the most of the opportunities that will come from integrating device data with medical records.

NHS Fife is working with Buddy Healthcare on a digital pre-op pathway, so orthopaedic patients can complete assessments on an app and clinicians can use the data to make the best possible use of outpatient clinic and theatre time.

The Scottish health board has adopted the digital platform, which it calls ELSIE (the Electronic Pre-Operative Assessment App).

A new microperspective in the ACS journal Medicinal Chemistry Letters evaluates recent research on artificial intelligence (AI)-generated molecular structures from the point of view of the medicinal chemist and recommends guidelines for assessing the novelty and validity of these compounds.

NHS technology provider C2-Ai has been recognised at four high-profile UK healthcare and technology awards on a single night, after surgical teams across dozens of hospitals delivered significant impact for patients on waiting lists.

Surgeons say they are revolutionising how NHS waiting lists are managed with the help of the UK company’s technology, which is providing staff with an unprecedented understanding of the risks facing every individual patient.

Better Meds, the acclaimed electronic prescribing and medication administration (EPMA) solution based on the openEHR standard, will be implemented in over 60 hospitals in Catalonia by a consortium led by T-Systems and Better.

The largest ever single Better Meds project to date will bring Catalan Health Service's (CatSalut) ambition for providing integrated care via a patient and data-centric longitudinal electronic health record one step closer as it establishes its vendor-neutral health data platform and medication management system, which will eventually be available across the whole of Catalonia.

The Sussex Pathology Network has chosen Clinisys for a laboratory information system (LIMS) that will help its labs to collaborate, building on the supportive relationship that developed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A single, hosted instance of WinPath Enterprise will replace the existing four live LIMS systems in use at the three trusts and seven laboratories within the network, of which two are at the end of their life.
