Welcome to the Digital Health Unit
We are biomedical engineers, physicists, and mathematicians working closely with doctors, clinicians, and nurses to improve health through data, AI, and computational science
AI for Healthcare
We develop robust, clinically meaningful AI methods for prediction, decision support, and health data analysis.
Multimodal Data
We work with multimodal data including clinical records, behaviour, wearable devices, imaging, genomics and multi-omics, microscopy, and real-world data to develop impactful digital health solutions.
Translation to Practice
We work closely with hospitals, startups, healthcare technology companies, and pharmaceutical partners to move innovation into real clinical and societal impact.
