LIHE unlocks growth sector careers for young Londoners
A pioneering work experience project, My Life SC1ence, is helping make jobs in London’s life sciences and MedTech sector more accessible and understandable for the next generation of young talent. This high growth sector encompasses industries dedicated to the science of all living things, extending from biology and genetics to healthcare and medical devices.
The doors of LIHE opened to local school pupils and young people not in education, employment or training from London’s underserved communities.
The two groups joined a month-long work experience programme run by youth engagement experts We Rise supported by Lambeth Council. Working with technicians, academics, students and entrepreneurs from LIHE, King’s School of Biomedical & Engineering & Imaging Sciences and St Thomas’ Hospital, the young people developed, scripted and filmed videos and social media content to demystify jobs and break down barriers to life sciences opportunities.
MedTech Venture Builder participants Fraiya roll out new AI tool
AI could help sonographers identify any abnormalities at the 20-week pregnancy screening scan almost twice as quickly, without reducing the accuracy or reliability of diagnoses, a new study has shown.
Published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), the study showed that the AI-assisted scans – which automatically took several thousand snapshots of each foetal measurement compared to three taken by a human sonographer – were more reliable compared to manual measurements.
Fraiya, a spin-out from King's and our clinical partners that developed the AI tool, is rolling it out across clinical sites. Fraiya is a participant in LIHE's MedTech Venture Builder programme.
