Queen Mary University Of London To Lead Research On AI Usage In Emergency Care

Study in UK: Queen Mary University Of London is all set to lead a study which is on the usage of AI in emergency life-saving care. The insights are expected to support clinical decision-making.

Queen Mary University of London has joined forces with Barts Health NHS Trust, London’s Air Ambulance and the University of Aberdeen and the collaboration secured a grant of £1.8 million ($2.27 million) to support Artificial Intelligence in Trauma Risk Prediction System (AI-TRiPS).

Colonel Nigel Tai, Honorary Professor of Trauma Surgery and Innovation at Queen Mary and lead investigator for the study said, “This is a pioneering step forward in trauma care. It is very exciting to be part of a great team who've worked so hard over the past decade to bring this research from concept through to implementation. We think that victims of major trauma - civilian and military - stand to benefit from new technologies, designed to give clinical teams the right information about their patients when they needed most. However, this attractive notion - of improving care by equipping Emergency Departments with advanced, AI-powered decision support systems - is still an unproven assumption."

Professor Karim Brohi, Director of the London Trauma System and Professor of Trauma Sciences at Queen Mary, stated, “London has always been at the forefront of trauma innovation. This study could push the boundaries further, potentially transforming how we deliver care and save lives globally.”

AI-TRiPS is a collaboration between engineering and medical experts at the university and across the globe. The AI algorithm of this tool has been developed by military experts, trauma surgeons, and computer science and it is integrated with the trauma registry data, research and clinical expertise.

The trial is being done to implement the AI-powered decision-support tools in various settings including military operations and civilian emergency care.

"The clinical trial, supported by the University of Aberdeen’s Clinical Trials Unit, will begin with a year of development and regulatory approvals in January 2025. Patient recruitment will follow in early 2026, with results expected in 2027," says the university statement.
