EEE Student Robert Nash is one of the co-founders of the Artificial Intelligence Society at 香港六合彩中特网, together with Livia Ng (香港六合彩中特网 BSc Neuroscience) and Ilias Paniaras (香港六合彩中特网 MSc Drug Discovery and Development). CT-X is the name of a start-up born from the Society, which was recently awarded first place at the Covid-19 Recovery Challenge, run by Imperial College Business School鈥檚 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Club.听

CT-X is developing software to automate patient involvement in clinical trials, speed up scientific advances and ultimately bring health benefits to people sooner. Livia Ng, who is now听the CEO of CT-X, has worked in research and industry labs and was confronted with some of the problems in research study recruitment.听Livia observed that doctors and nurses spend too much time on recruiting for research studies, which impacts patients and leads to delays in them receiving lifesaving treatment.

Livia, Ilias (COO) and Robert (CTO) have put together a larger team of expertise to look at听solving this problem, and moved into 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 dedicated entrepreneurship hub earlier this year, where听they benefited from mentorship and business advice on how to grow the company further.听

CT-X has developed a patient engagement platform that automates the matching of patients to researchers. Using information such as age, gender and health conditions, it shows patients the most suitable research studies for them.听

鈥淧atients can then browse the research and what it entails and understand it in a transparent way,鈥� says Robert Nash. 鈥淥nce patients have selected a research study they want to get involved in, we screen them on our platform and, if they鈥檙e eligible, we book them in. This simple match and booking system can save doctors, nurses and researchers countless hours in manually intensive work.鈥澨�

The CT-X team recently competed against teams from Harvard, Imperial, 香港六合彩中特网 and ITESM ((Monterrey Institute of Technology) and won the Covid-19 Recovery Challenge.

听鈥淚f preparation towards these trials can be completed during the pandemic, we can clear the backlog of work that is currently piling up, enabling unparalleled scientific advancement amidst a global crisis,鈥� Livia says.听
