Company Profile

The Alan Turing Institute is dedicated to innovative scientific research and education. We reiterate that we aim at an interdisciplinary approach to health-related research, particularly targeted at individualized disease treatment. We have experts in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Obesity, Female Sexual Dysfunction, Cognitive and Affective neuroscience. We aim for the further development of our multidisciplinary research method through collaboration with external parties working in the medical domain, in cooperation with universities to safeguard and corroborate the institute's academic status and ambition.

Science and Technologies or Services

Although there is a growing interest for the individual patient in health care and health science in general, our approach is unique in that it employs techniques from artificial intelligence, and agent technology in particular, to reach its goals. In particular, knowledge from sources as heterogeneous as medicine, biology, psychology and psychiatry may each be represented by their own agents and agents may each have their own method of reasoning. Based on information available about a patient and the agents' own instruction sets, agents can reason on chains of causes and effects. In other words: our knowledge based systems structure knowledge and can reason with this knowledge in such a way that we can make more refined diagnoses and can predict prevention and treatment for individual patients based on their unique constellation.
