NHS AI Lab grant for our ADHD work!

 I am delighted that the inaugural call of Call of AI for Health and Care, a core activity of the new NHS AI lab that seeks to revolutionize the National Health System through the use of AI technologies, has selected our work to be funded. It was fiercely competitive call (under 8% acceptance rate) and ours was the only successful proposal focusing solely on mental health. Very encouraging.

We are working hard on it as we have received over 100 submissions to the special issue (I have never experienced anything close to it in my quite long career), a testament to the popularity and importance of this topic. We hope to have paper evaluation and selection completed by the end of April 2020.

The effect is higher productivity per clinician, resulting in reduced costs for the NHS and reduced waiting lists. Initial funding has been obtained by the National Health Service and work commenced in March 2020.
