正文(英文) | Press release UK to innovate new life-saving treatment and diagnosis technologyDiseases could be detected even before people experience symptoms, thanks to a pioneering new health-data programme as part of the Industrial Strategy.
Diseases could be detected even before people experience symptoms, thanks to a pioneering new health-data programme as part of the government’s modern Industrial Strategy. Businesses and charities are expected to jointly invest up to £160 million, alongside a £79 million government investment, as part of the Accelerating Detection of Disease programme. The project will support research, early diagnosis, prevention and treatment for diseases including cancer, dementia and heart disease. The pioneering initiative will recruit up to 5 million healthy people. Volunteered data from the individuals will help UK scientists and researchers invent new ways to detect and prevent the development of diseases. Prime Minister Theresa May said:
The programme – Accelerating Detection of Disease – has the potential to transform the way people are treated, supporting the NHS to continue to deliver the highest quality care for UK patients. Not only will this programme save thousands of lives, it has the potential to support developing industry in artificial intelligence, healthcare and diagnostics. Business Secretary Greg Clark said:
Today’s business investment is an important step in delivering the AI and Data Grand Challenge mission to use data, artificial intelligence and innovation to transform the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases by 2030. The programme is led by Professor Sir John Bell and brings together the NHS, industry and leading charities including Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Alzheimer’s Research UK. Leader of the programme Prof. John Bell said:
Hilary Evans, Chief Executive of Alzheimer’s Research UK, said:
UKRI Challenge Director Fiona Watt said:
Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation, said:
Sara Hiom, Director, Early Diagnosis and Health Professional Engagement at Cancer Research UK, said:
The programme was a key commitment in the second Life Sciences Sector Deal and its use of genomics will change the future of health and medicine in a new era of precision healthcare. Putting genomics at the heart of this globally-leading initiative, delivers the government’s commitment to develop a genomic volunteers programme and contributes to our UK-wide ambition to sequence five million genomes by 2023 to 2024, maintaining our global lead in this field.
