Red Star awarded funding from Nesta’s ‘AI for Good’ program

The potential for AI to revolutionise healthcare is widely recognised, and Red Star has been awarded funding from Nesta’s AI for Good program. Working alongside NHS Glasgow, the Digital Health and Care Institute Scotland, and the University of Strathclyde, Red Star aims to explore how AI can improve diabetes diagnostics and treatment.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It can lead to a range of health complications, including nerve damage, blindness, and heart disease. Early diagnosis and effective management of the condition are crucial in reducing the risk of complications and improving the quality of life for those affected.

Red Star’s collaboration with NHS Glasgow, the Digital Health and Care Institute Scotland, and the University of Strathclyde aims to leverage AI to enhance diabetes diagnostics and treatment. The project will explore how AI can help prioritise patients and inform health care choices based on explainable AI and predictive modelling of clinical outcomes.

One of the key objectives of the project is to develop an AI-powered tool that can risk stratify patients based on analysis of their symptoms. This tool could help healthcare professionals to identify those patients most at risk of deterioration and intervene early to mitigate disease progression.

Another important goal of the project is to develop personalised treatment plans for diabetes patients. By analyzing patient data, including medical history and lifestyle factors, the AI-powered tool can provide healthcare professionals with recommendations for the most effective treatment options for individual patients.

The collaboration between Red Star, NHS Glasgow, the Digital Health and Care Institute Scotland, and the University of Strathclyde has the potential to transform the way diabetes is diagnosed and treated. By harnessing the power of AI, the project aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce the risk of complications, and ultimately save lives.

In conclusion, Red Star’s recent funding award from Nesta’s AI for Good program is a significant step forward in the development of AI-powered tools for healthcare. The collaboration with NHS Glasgow, the Digital Health and Care Institute Scotland, and the University of Strathclyde is an exciting opportunity to explore the potential of AI in improving diabetes diagnostics and treatment.
