The NHS has announced an investment of £50 million for the development of artificial intelligence technology within diagnostic centres of excellence, to help speed up diagnosis of conditions including cancer.

The funding boost will scale up the work of existing Digital Pathology and Imaging Artificial Intelligence Centres of Excellence, which were launched in 2018 to develop cutting-edge digital tools to improve the diagnosis of diseases across the NHS.

The three centres set to receive a share of the funding, based in Coventry, Leeds and London, will deliver digital upgrades to pathology and imaging services across an additional 38 NHS trusts, benefiting 26.5 million patients across England.
