AI, advanced computing and quantum technologies have the potential to transform how health and care services are planned, delivered and improved.
While many applications are still emerging, these technologies could support advances in diagnostics, drug discovery, personalised medicine, operational planning and decision-making.
Health Innovation North West Coast is helping the region engage early with these opportunities, connecting health and care partners with national programmes, leading researchers and industry expertise to explore practical applications and understand what is needed for successful implementation.
Our work includes:
- Supporting the responsible use of AI, data and advanced computing through evaluation, implementation and system-wide learning.
- Publishing a feasibility study into a Health and Care Quantum Innovation Centre, and co-hosting the Quantum Healthcare Summit with STFC Hartree Centre, bringing together leaders from health and care, academia, government, research and industry.
- Participating in the UKRI Digital Catapult Quantum Technology Access Programme (QTAP) with the NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Gorup to explore real-world healthcare use cases.
- Building a regional health and care quantum pipeline.
