NHSGGC Director of Research and Innovation Professor Julie Brittenden said, "The West of Scotland Innovation Hub, and Department of Research & Innovation are pleased to be sponsoring and involved in delivering this study assessing the clinical effectiveness and acceptability of Qure.ai artificial intelligence software to prioritise chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation. Working in partnership with industry and colleagues in academia gives us many valuable opportunities to enhance our existing services and make best use of our clinical resources, and in turn provide insights that may inform treatments and practice further afield. Early diagnosis of cancer is of crucial importance to how we improve patient outcomes. Innovative approaches to how we can evaluate and then use AI to assist clinicians when treating their patients mean we can ensure patients are on to the appropriate treatment pathway as quickly as possible."
“The reality of healthcare AI is exciting for us all. Diagnosing cancer and other disease conditions earlier reduces long-term pressure on the health economy, and also enhances the length and quality of life for patients. We will be closely supporting the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde team with this deployment,” states Darren Stephens, Senior Vice President & Commercial Head of UK and Europe at Qure.ai.

Scottish Cabinet Secretary for NHS Recovery, Health and Social Care, Michael Matheson has welcomed this partnership stating, “We know that the earlier cancer is diagnosed the easier it is to treat. By providing funding to support this evaluation we will help prioritise patients that have suspected lung cancer for follow-on CT. This will support delivery of Scotland’s optimal lung cancer diagnostic pathway and help us achieve our Earlier Cancer Diagnosis Vision to reduce later stage disease.”
