WINNER: Faculty & NHS England and NHS Improvement: Applying AI to Create a Covid-19 Early Warning System to Predict Demand for Services in a Pandemic 

The pandemic tested the NHS like never before. Decisions to prevent harm had to be made every day. With multiple information sources across multiple health organisations, the lack of a single source of truth presented extreme risks to life. With world-leading experience in data science and artificial intelligence, Faculty partnered with the NHS to create predictive forecasting models to anticipate demand on health and care services. The technology allowed the NHS to make life-saving interventions, plan the delivery of care and allocate scarce resources with a degree of accuracy and confidence previously considered impossible to achieve.
