Digital

experience of care for patients. In addition, technology advances capturing health and activity indicators (wearables) might also inform disease prevention and early diagnosis interventions.

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust have both invested in research informatics platforms that overlay their electronic patient record and adhere to the highest standards of data security and privacy. This research infrastructure and ongoing plans to increase its utility will underpin many of the AHSC’s planned projects and programmes going forward. 

In addition, iCARE, the informatics platform at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, supported by Imperial BRC also hosts the integrated patient record for all residents in North West London – Whole Systems Integrated Care (WSIC)  enabling linkage of rich and deep acute hospital data with broader information for all 2.8 million residents in North West London for both direct care and research. The AHSC’s priority is to enhance these digital assets for research and direct care by:

1. Increasing the richness and coverage of data accessible through its informatics platforms, working with NHS and other stakeholders in North West London and beyond. 
2. Developing a platform(s) for developing and evaluating AI algorithms using real-world data.
