Health data sharing
Enabling personalised statements of data access, when resources are owned by set of people and they all have different preferences regarding how the resources should be accessed.
Provenance and anonymisation
Understanding data environments to automatically apply appropriate anonymisation to protect individual's privacy.
Covid epidemic and hospital impact modelling
COVID epidemic model for UHS to forecast the impact of COVID on hospital beds, this was at time of great uncertainty when such models did not exist and provided this on a daily basis the UHS operations over the first wave.
Novel medical devices and systems
We build new sensors, fabrics and research algorithms to detect diseases and facilitate treatment.

Vivoplex LLC
Creation of a wireless, battery-free sensor that monitors three influential factors in the uterine environment-pH, temperature and oxygen level-for the optimisation of fertility treatment and uterine health.
Lab on a chip and microfluidics
Lab on a chip systems perform laboratory operations on small scales using miniaturized devices.
StrokeBack
An automated remote rehabilitation system that blends advances of ICT and practical clinical knowledge that empowers the patients and their immediate carer for effective application of the rehabiltation protocol in home settings.
Capaciflector
The capaciflector is a device that can be placed on the body (typically the chest), either directly attached or on the outside of clothing, to measure respiratory rate and movement.
Smart T project
Project Smart T will bring together specialists from France and England to raise awareness of and explore opportunities for the commercialisation of Smart Inks with SMEs, whilst offering a solution to the threat of drug-resistant superbugs.
Community Health and wellness
From tools to help communication, community involvement and personal wellness to providing better treatment monitoring out of the hospital, we develop sophisticated algorithms, sensors and applications to encourage wellness outside of the hospital.
