Innovation & COVID-19

Within our unit there has been lots of different work happening in relation to COVID-19. Our AXIS team have been busy working with University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust to meet the need of integrating more technology-based solutions to share data and insights in order to help solve this global challenge. The teams are working to integrate, stage and analyse real-time clinical data in order to understand high level clinical presentation risk stratification and monitor the progression in COVID-19 patients.

Director of our Clinical Informatics Research Unit, Professor James Batchelor recently took part in a webinar session where he discussed ways to accelerate the translation of insights into clinical understanding through bioinformatics innovation to work towards the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

James talks about how members from our AXIS team have adapted an existing framework, in collaboration with BC Platforms, to understand multiple aspects and parameters relating to COVID-19 patient treatment in the NHS.

The webinar highlights insights gained while using a system to coordinate research studies in a single platform, and how this framework can be applied to the challenges associated with the burden of COVID-19.
