SUCCESSFUL RELEASE PRESENTATION OF ALGOCYTE VERSION 1 AT INTELLIGENT HEALTH 2020 UK IN LONDON8/2/2020
With over 1000 attendants at London's largest event venue, the Excel, the sold-out Intelligent Health 2020 event was a success and OIA/Algocyte was one of the featured sponsors where we introduced and promoted our remote blood testing and health monitoring innovative solution. Attending from OIA were Ago Forcella (COO), Ed Sant'Anna (Chief Strategist), Steeve Tchatchuing and Ines Amri (Business Associates).
Oxford Immune Algorithmics (OIA) is very proud to have partnered with the University of Reading and welcomes two of their students in Computer Science hired with the partial support of the University of Reading internship scheme and grant. OIA is engaged with the local community and the young people of Reading where OIA's headquarters are located.  We are very excited to share the announcement that we have accomplished a major milestone getting Algocyte® certified under the European Commission medical device directive. Algocyte® is OIA's flagship product, an end-to-end app and solution for remote blood testing and health monitoring based on our proprietary technology (two patents pending no. 1918950.5 and 1918948.9 (UK)).
OIA will be exhibiting at one of the world’s leading summits on AI in medicine, Intelligent Health 2020 on 5 February 2020 at a prime venue, the ExCel, London, U.K. where we will be promoting Algocyte, our flagship product for end-to-end remote blood testing and health monitoring.   Promoted and streamed online worldwide and to the Austin Vita offices in Germany and the U.S., as advertised locally in Reading's giant screen at the train station, six speakers welcomed 80 attendants in an interesting evening to talk about what kind of AI and what type of ethics and responsibilities are there behind AI adoption in healthcare. Instead of only poling more positive pile to AI, the level of discussion in the event was very high and the kind of discussion we would like to see more often.
On the pictures above are our meeting ad on the giant screen followed by Dr. Hector Zenil (CEO of OIA) talk on the challenges and limitations of AI in healthcare and Dr. Kourosh Saeb-Parsy (CMO of OIA) leading the panel discussion on AI in healthcare with panelists Prof. Slawomir Nasuto, and Dr. Weizi Li from the University of Reading, and Geoff Keeling from Ethical Reading and the University of Bristol and the University Cambridge. The event was sponsored by Austin Vita and co-organised by Ethical Reading. Bringing people interested in closing the gap between academia and industry together, and in cutting-edge science and technology solutions, we at Oxford Immune Algorithmics with Austin Fraser and Austin Vita are organising the AI in Healthcare event. Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Kourosh Saeb-Parsy, video invitation to our event 'AI in Healthcare' At OIA we believe that automation is not about replacing humans but about scaling intelligence (machine and human) to help healthcare organisations and medical professionals to deal with real human challenges today, such as:
New technologies that harness artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) present huge opportunities to transform healthcare, improve the quality of people, and help health professionals.  Followed by an introduction on the ‘limitations, challenges and the future of AI’ by Dr. Hector Zenil (Karolinska Institute, Karolinska Hospital and Oxford Immune Algorithmics), a panel discussion on ‘AI in healthcare’ will be moderated by Dr. Kourosh Saeb-Parsy (Reader of Transplantation at the University of Cambridge, NHS surgeon and Chief Medical Officer of Oxford Immune Algorithmics). Our panelists are experts in the UK in the areas of healthcare and AI, from government, industry and academia. The discussion will centre around the following questions:
Panelists Dr. Kourosh Saeb-Parsy is Chief Medical Officer at Oxford Immune Algorithmics Ltd. MD & PhD in Neurosciences (Cambridge), NHS Transplant Surgeon, a University Reader & Leader of his own lab at the University of Cambridge (specialised in immunogenicity of regenerative cellular therapies) has over 15 years experience in biotech companies, director of the Cambridge In Vivo Assessment Platform & the Cambridge Biorepository for Translational Medicine. Prof. Slawomir Nasuto is a Deputy Research Lead of the Biomedical Sciences and Biomedical Engineering Research Division within the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Reading. Prof Nasuto heads the Brain Embodiment Laboratory, an interdisciplinary facility within the School of Biological Sciences comprising two experimental laboratories performing research in Brain Computer Interfaces and cell cultures, and using complex systems science approaches to characterise the resulting data. His research on phase synchronisation, functional connectivity and complex evolving networks informs, and in turn benefits from, interrogating cognitive processes and more directly nervous system. He is interested in the use of BCI and neurofeedback for therapeutic applications and to affect human behaviour, as well as wider applications of complex systems science, swarm intelligence and machine learning to uncover complex relationships hidden within data. He published over 180 research articles in books, journals and international peer-reviewed conferences in the related areas. Geoff Keeling is a Research Assistant at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge. He is also a PhD candidate in the Philosophy Department at the University of Bristol. Geoff is interested in the ethics of artificial intelligence, and how we can make ethical decisions when we are uncertain about the consequences of our actions. His talk examines what informed consent might look like in a future containing artificial doctors, and considers the implications for algorithmic decision-making in other areas such as finance and advertising.

OIA's first anniversary was this past September 25th and the University of Oxford planted a 4-year old beech tree in honour of Oxford Immune Algorithmics (OIA) at the Oxford University premises in Wytham Woods in Oxford where a plaque dedicated to OIA was unveiled. The tree will be taken care of for 15 years after which the plaque will be placed on the base of the tree for the hundreds of years that the tree will hopefully live and for next generations to take care. This is an initiative to create awareness and help replant an area of the woods.
Young trees like these ones can absorb CO2 much faster than larger trees as their metabolism is faster between 4 and 15 years old. Our ambitious goal at OIA for the next 15 years is to become the leaders in healthcare technology and offer an affordable scalable solution to help cure all curable human diseases. Helping plant the tree were personnel from Oxford University Innovation and OIA, including OIA's CEO Dr. Hector Zenil. OIA is honoured to have received this distinction from the 8 startups and spinouts from Oxford University that launch in average every year.
OIA will be at the the early stage life sciences investment event to be held at Level39 in Canary Wharf, London, January 20, 2020.
On the 15-16 October 2019, OIA is attending The Global Innovation and New Technology Health Event at the Chelsea Football Club Stadium in London where it is showcased the leading health tech startups from around the world.
An application of our research in causal models in molecular biology has been published today in one of the finest journals in molecular biology, Nucleic Acids Research (Oxford). This is the first meaningful application of algorithmic complexity to experimental cell biology beyond previous methods based on statistical approaches. It strengthens our position as pioneers in the area of causal knowledge discovery and it propels us forward as a validation of our work and technology.
Our paper shows how our methods identify DNA sequences holding key information about genetic regulation.
We have been growing at an exciting rate and we have moved offices three times already only this year. We have now opened our new AI-biomedical lab this month and we are already thinking of expanding it. We have here some pictures of how the the lab looks like today.
