The Digital Health Validation Lab has achieved a significant milestone as its pioneering ACcEPT study concluded at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Oxford University Hospital and Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital.
The Digital Health Validation Lab has achieved a significant milestone with the conclusion of a pioneering study.
The study, called ACcEPT (Assess the Clinical Effectiveness in Prioritising CT Heads), aimed to evaluate the impact of AI in supporting the interpretation of CT head scans and improving report turnaround times using the Qure.ai qER AI solution. It is hoped that the solution will enable clinicians to make quicker decisions about the onward care, treatment and discharge of patients with head injuries.
ACcEPT was first implemented at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) in Glasgow last December, where approximately 4,000 CT scans have been analysed by the qER AI solution to support clinical care during the study. It later expanded to Oxford University Hospital and Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, and has now concluded across all three sites.
The data will provide valuable insights into the potential impact AI can have on the challenges that healthcare systems around the world face. It is expected that the initial report and results of the ACcEPT study will be shared later this year.
