Latest News – Albasoft launch "on device AI" program.
Following on from our success in implementing Scotland’s Primary Care Data and Intelligence Platform (PCDIP) which has now a go live date of 31st March 2025 for the first two business cases (Vaccination program and Respiratory/Winter Pressure). We are announcing the next stage of our research and development program, on device AI. We have been active in this field for some years exploring the challenges of using AI in a healthcare environment.
Privacy and security in health are core concerns as many AI solutions are hosted, requiring sensitive health information to be transmitted not just outside the NHS but potentially overseas to big tech companies. To overcome this, we are developing "on device" AI models that can be trained off site against large, anonymized datasets, but deployed locally. This overcomes the requirement for patient information to be transferred outside the NHS environment, in testing so far, many AI (ML) tasks can be performed locally at a GP practice (Identification of Frailty, Pre-diabetes, Anticipatory care etc.)
This is an inspiring time in health tech development and Albasoft are delighted to contribute in moving this technology forward.
