😀 We're thrilled to be on the team on this important initiative. 📅 From May, we'll be working closely with the collaborating organisations to deliver ethical and legal underpinning to ensure that the models and tools developed through this programme work well in practice
Together with @NIHRresearch, @EPSRC, @HDR_UK and @adr_uk we're announcing the £10m Cancer Data Driven Detection programme to help predict an individual's chances of getting cancer, which could help with earlier detection and prevention 🧪

We’re delighted to be @UKParliament today to launch our report ‘Physiology Passport: Putting personalised prevention at the heart of resilient health systems’.
#PrecisionMedicine @PHGFoundation
Download the report: physoc.org/PhysiologyPasspor…
A central recommendation of this report is the creation of personalised Physiology Passports presenting a unique opportunity to integrate diverse biomarkers, defined characteristics that indicate biological processes in health and disease, to support personalised prevention.
Calling for personalised prevention to be at the heart of care to ease NHS pressures. Our joint report with @PHGFoundation proposes an innovative, data-driven solution aimed at transforming #healthcare delivery.
