Daiser announces AI push with EPSRC

A health tech firm is advancing personalised care and tackling data security challenges in a new AI research collaboration.

Daiser has been named a strategic partner of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) EdgeAI Hub, a UK initiative of nine research hubs that are uniting industry, academia and the public sector to accelerate innovation in artificial intelligence and edge computing. 

Bosses say the partnership will explore the development of ‘digital twins’ and AI agents – virtual models of people or systems – to help healthcare providers deliver more proactive, data-driven care.

They add that the collaboration will support the creation of personalised diagnostics, treatment plans and monitoring tools while upholding strict standards for privacy and security – laying the groundwork for more “secure, efficient and patient-centric healthcare solutions”.

Professor Mike Trenell, chief executive and co-founder of Daiser, which recently announced it had been selected for the Google for Startups Growth Academy: AI for Health accelerator programme, said: “Partnering with the EdgeAI Hub aligns perfectly with Daiser’s commitment to empowering health and care providers through advanced digital solutions. 

“Together, we can create AI-driven tools that not only personalise patient care but also uphold the highest standards of privacy and security.” 

Professor Rajiv Ranjan, director of the EdgeAI Hub and chair professor in computing science and IoT at Newcastle University, added: “Collaborating with Daiser allows us to apply our research in edge AI to real-world healthcare challenges. 

“This partnership is a significant step toward developing secure, efficient and patient-centric healthcare solutions.”
