UK-headquartered healthcare analytics company, C2-Ai, has appointed a senior clinician as its new international medical director.
Dr Mike Roberts, who has a background in emergency medicine and cardiothoracic surgery, has worked in both the NHS and in New Zealand, where he has held chief medical officer and medical director roles for more than 15 years.
He will now work to help expand how C2-Ai’s products are used by healthcare providers – for both new and existing customers.
Hospitals within the NHS and internationally use the company’s AI-backed technologies to provide them with intelligence to help enhance patient safety and to improve quality and equity of care.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic C2-Ai’s systems have also been used to help surgeons safely and efficiently prioritise patients waiting for hospital treatment, with significant results reported by customers around faster clearing of backlogs, fewer emergency admissions, and substantial time released for busy surgeons.
Commenting on his appointment, Dr Roberts said: “I have been extremely enthusiastic about the potential of C2-Ai’s technology for many years and I have seen the impact it can achieve first hand as a customer, when it comes to supporting clinical governance.
