Our aim is to improve the health of the nation, one preventable case at a time.Thanks to a pioneering partnership between clinical, healthcare Information/IT, and NHS experts, Predictive Health Intelligence (PHI) is developing a case-finding search engine, designed to identify previously hidden cases of liver disease. This innovative approach will benefit patients, GPs and hospital specialists.Liver disease places a huge burden on the health of the nation. One in nine of the UK population suffers from the condition. Liver disease accounts for 26,000 premature deaths and 100,000 years of lost life each year. It costs the NHS £6bn annually, fully 5% of its budget.The trouble is, liver disease is often symptom-free. Most of those who die from it don’t see a doctor until it’s too late for treatment. One-off blood tests with raised markers of disease don’t set alarm bells ringing because clinicians can only be certain all is not well if they look at blood test results trended over time. Although the data is there if you know how and where to look, today’s healthcare IT systems weren’t built to help doctors identify those suffering from conditions like liver disease in this way.In 2019, a clinician in Somerset shared his frustrations about undiagnosed liver disease with an expert in healthcare Information Management. They teamed up with their local Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and put in a bid to the National Institute for Health Research to address this issue. The NIHR funded their proposal.As a result, this pioneering, three-way partnership has developed and launched an innovative, case-finding search engine called HepatoSIGHT. This simple tool can identify patients at risk of liver disease by analysing the results from all of the blood tests they have given throughout their lives.
