AI in emergency healthcare
Queen Mary is leading an £1.8m research collaboration looking at AI in emergency healthcare.
The Artificial Intelligence in Trauma Risk Prediction System (AI-TRiPS) is a new and powerful AI decision support tool to assist doctors in time-critical medical care for severely injured patients. Queen Mary is leading a clinical trial of the tool in collaboration with London Air Ambulance, Barts Health NHS Trust and the University of Aberdeen.
Leading person-centred dementia care
Most people with dementia want to remain living in their own homes for as long as possible. One way that this can be done is through home visits by professional carers. However, only 29% of care staff in England undertake any kind of dementia training. This skills gap can lead to barriers in providing high quality care.
The NIDUS (New Interventions for Independence in Dementia) project was led by Professor Claudia Cooper at Queen Mary and funded by Alzheimers UK, in collaboration with experts at the Universities of Bradford, Reading and Exeter.
It examined how carers and family members can take a person-centred approach to dementia care, helping to reduce stress and improve communication so people with dementia can remain in their homes for longer.
