#Hospitalacquiredinfections are one of the most urgent challenges in #patientsafety - yet many are preventable with early intervention. Backed by an @innovateuk.bsky.social SMART grant we’re partnering with Sanome on the next evolution of MEMORI - using #AI to transform early detection. More below ⬇️
Exeter HRC & Sanome have secured a £300k grant to enhance MEMORI - an AI-enabled platform that alerts clinical teams to infection up to seven days before symptoms appear. This is a major step in tackling #hospitalacquiredinfections, which cost the NHS £2.7bn a year.
