Current Projects 2007: Knowledge Transfer Partnership: University of Manchester, UK

Informatics is partnering Manchester University Department of Computer Science in developing a new generation of intelligent software for healthcare. The project uses formal ontologies and inference engines to represent and exploit clinical knowledge in specific domains.

The technology also supports flexible design of user interfaces. Manchester University is an acknowledged leader in the field of medical ontologies and the project runs under the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) scheme sponsored by the UK Government.
