This project is part of a study developing a new online tool for health care professionals to use when caring for people with diabetes. Researchers want to make sure that patient views and experiences are included in the development process.
MyDiabetesIQ is a new online tool being developed by MyWay Digital health. It will be driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and computer-based decision-making to help inform clinical decisions.
Involving patients in the development process means that researchers are able to carefully consider and address any concerns that people living with diabetes may have, The workshops will cover ethical concerns, safety issues, using data from electronic health records, and how the system might be used in the real world.
No previous experience of research involvement or understanding of the technology is required.
It is anticipated that this two-year project will start in autumn 2021.

This project is looking to explore and understand public and community perspectives around Greater Manchester becoming a member of UK CRIS.
UK CRIS (Clinical Record Interactive Search) is a new technology that can be used to transform information stored in patients’ mental health records into anonymised data. These datasets can then be used by services and researchers to enable service improvements, inform further research and develop new treatments and care.
The numbers of doctors working in temporary positions (known as locums) in the NHS has doubled in recent years.
This research is looking to understand where locum doctors work in the NHS in England, what kinds of work they do, and how the use of locum doctors is organised. Findings will be used to identify ways to improve working arrangements and the quality and safety of patient care they provide.
It is being carried out by a team of researchers at The University of Manchester.
