Cleveland Clinic, IBM, and the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Hartree Centre have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at driving innovation in healthcare and biomedical science through advanced computing technologies.
The international collaboration, which brings together a multidisciplinary team of scientists, clinical researchers and physicians from across industry, government and healthcare, will look at how technologies such as AI and quantum computing can be used to advance patient care and accelerate new treatments. Researchers from IBM, Hartree Centre and Cleveland Clinic will examine how common hospital procedures affect a patient’s overall health and quality of life, with the goal of enhancing patient outcomes.
Two clinical research projects have been launched to kick-start the new collaboration.
The first, led by Cleveland Clinic London chief academic officer Charles Knowles and supported by the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation – a collaboration between IBM and Hartree Centre – will apply advanced AI tools to quantify the impact on patient care at Cleveland Clinic London. Researchers will examine how common hospital procedures affect a patient’s overall health and quality of life, with the goal of enhancing patient outcomes.
The second project, led by Dr Lara Jehi, an epilepsy researcher and chief research information officer at Cleveland Clinic, will apply quantum computing to analyse large-scale data sets to identify molecular features in the body that better predict surgical response in patients with epilepsy.
‘This partnership will play an important role in advancing research into the use of cutting-edge computation in healthcare and life sciences,’ said Alessandro Curioni, fellow and director, IBM Research Zurich. ‘We look forward to working with researchers from Cleveland Clinic London and the Hartree Centre to explore promising areas of discovery across quantum computing, AI and beyond.’
