Bio-Rad Laboratories and Alleghany Health Network (AHN) have partnered to advance clinical evidence for monitoring solid tumour cancers using Bio-Rad’s Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) technology. The collaboration will use ddPCR technology for molecular residual disease (MRD) monitoring of patients across a range of solid tumour types. Accounting for approximately 90% of all adult human cancers and half of childhood malignancies, solid tumour cancers can develop in many parts of the body, including the breast, lung, prostate and colon. Used to provide a critical indication of both remission and potential relapse in patients, MRD testing has been widely adopted for monitoring haematological malignancies and is now being implemented for solid tumour diseases. As part of the agreement, the collaboration will combine Bio-Rad’s digital PCR technology and expertise in molecular oncology, assay design and development with AHN’s cancer-care expertise, clinical data and patient samples collected via its Cancer Institute’s Moonshot programme, which ...
A project being led by King’s College London (KCL) has received funding from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) totalling £100,000 to create a platform to boost artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted healthcare for cancer diagnosis.

Aphasia is a language disorder caused by some form of brain damage, including stroke Researchers from the Neurotherapeutics Group at University College London’s Queen Square Institute of Neurology have developed a new digital app that significantly improves speech in stroke patients. Supported by Wellcome and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the iTalkBetter app provides speech therapy for people living with aphasia, a language disorder. Caused by some form of brain damage, including stroke, severe head injury and brain tumours, aphasia can lead to difficulties with speech or language. The NHS currently provides around 12 hours of speech and language therapy, with further face-to-face therapy available via some charities or privately. However, most aphasia patients are undertreated with therapy. The new app offers practice for over 200 commonly used words, games to maintain engagement and an integrated speech recogniser to analyse speech in real time ...
Prescriptions ordered via the app are expected to save around 1.85 million hours in 2024 NHS England has announced that its new digital prescription service has been added to the NHS App. The launch of the service follows a successful trial last year that involved over a million users.

Patients who are waiting for an elective hospital treatment will also be able to see the average waiting time for their procedure at their local trust. Users without a nominated pharmacy will be given a barcode via the app to collect their prescription from any pharmacy, as opposed to using a paper version. Anyone with a nominated pharmacy will continue to ...
