'World first' Al data experiment helping research into miscarriages
An island's "world first" AI data experiment is now being used to help women who have suffered a miscarriage. Digital Jersey set up its first opt-in data trust in 2024, LifeCycle, which collected cyclists information to monitor riders and their reactions on the organisation is now working with the Southampton of University (SoU) to launch another data trust to help improve treatment for women who experience pregnancy Wendy Hall, SoU professor of computer science, likened data trusts to putting money in banks so it could be looked after, gain interest and used to help others.
She said: "If we are going to use artificial intelligence well in the future we need to think about what control we have over our own data and how AI could be applied to that for the good of society."We want to apply AI to all patients who have a disease and use AI to decipher what drugs fit with what patients, the side effects and how better to personalise prescriptions and treatments."
Improve treatments
Ms Hall said professors at SoU hope to use the data trust to look at what drugs work for women who have will also asses the side effects of drugs, how they can improve personalisation of prescriptions and treatments, and conduct further research around Jersey's cycling data trust, which was launched last year, monitored a rider's environment up to 800 times per second, collecting and analysing data about their journey and riding conditions. This included detecting events such as braking, swerving, collisions, and road surface conditions, all of which were mapped onto their Hall said Jersey was the perfect place to launch AI data trusts because it has "very useable laws"."They are softer than the the UK laws, easier to apply and Jersey lawyers are used to dealing with trust law," she Jersey's chiefs believe their AI data trusts are a world first.
