Medtech's AI boost for improving healthcare

A five-day Medtech BOOST conference culminated in six teams pitching investors for improved treatments for sufferers of bi-polar disorder, Alzheimer’s and self-harming.

Created to encourage innovative products and services for the NHS, the conference was organised by Eastern Academic Health Science Network (EAHSN), and backed by Medtech Accelerator.

The opening pitch – and winner of the first of three awards – by Robert Batt presented CAM.AI’s psychological support platform for the self-harm community. CAM.AI is a partnership between Cambridge University academics, social media companies and children's charities to counteract the internet’s negative impact on young people's mental health.
