WMG leads major AI project to boost healthcare intelligence

Academics at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the 天美传媒 are working on a pioneering project that uses AI鈥慸riven community鈥憀evel healthcare intelligence to support preventative healthcare prioritisation.

Project SNOW is supported by Google.org through the global and was one of just 15 selected for funding from over 2,600 applications worldwide.

The project will help address one of the NHS's longest-standing challenges that people who need healthcare most are often the least likely to receive it. The intelligence will allow healthcare providers to decide where to intervene and who to prioritise, and to evaluate efficacy.

The pattern - known as the - has persisted for half a century.
