At Newcastle University, our researchers are harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tackle some of society's most complex challenges.
From breakthroughs in the detection and diagnosis of health conditions, to advancing sustainable practices and building smarter, more connected communities, these innovations are shaping a better future.
Discover just a few of the many ways we’re using cutting-edge technology to drive positive change and improve lives.
Meet Dr. Dora
Our researchers have studied an AI conversational agent named Dora and its effects on patients recovering from cataract surgery. When used effectively with high accuracy, AI can help to ease pressure on clinicians and patients alike.
AI tool can detect early signs of bowel cancer
Our scientists have led a successful trial using AI in colonoscopy analysis to spot abnormalities that could potentially lead to bowel cancer. The results show that the tool is highly effective at detecting polyps that could become cancerous, highlighting its potential for early intervention and to ultimately save lives.
Tackling climate change in Singapore
A study based at our Singapore campus is exploring how AI can help to predict future weather patterns. We’re working collaboratively with industry to improve the accuracy and performance of climate models which will pave the way for faster and more accurate predictions of future climate conditions.
How AI can assist with antimicrobial resistance research
A new study led by our researchers demonstrates how AI can highlight the urgent need for better coordination in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) research methods. The study has provided valuable insights into global AMR patterns and shows how AI can assist researchers to effectively combine data from diverse fields for positive social impact.
Using AI to design quieter workspaces and offshore accommodation
Living and working offshore on ships, production platforms and other vessels can expose people to high levels of noise. At our Singapore campus we’re working with industry to find ways that AI can help us design quieter spaces.
The future of ADHD diagnosis?
Our researchers are leading an interdisciplinary team to develop a machine that uses AI to provide quick and accurate diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Diagnosing ADHD earlier and quicker makes a big difference to individuals and could ease the burden on health and social care systems.
