Summary: Ming Tang and Dr. Tim Ferris will lead a group focused on data and technology for the UK’s 10-year health plan. The plan aims to improve the NHS by shifting from an analogue to a digital system and emphasizing prevention over treatment. Public engagement is encouraged through an online platform where ideas can be shared until the plan is published in spring 2025.
The group will consider how the NHS can identify and capitalise on technologies such as genomics, AI, engineering biology and quantum sensing. (View Highlight)
