This Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project aims to develop a Smart Care Home software platform to improve residents’ quality of care by enhancing personalised care plans, enabling early health interventions, and enhancing operational efficiency.
LMH has already started the development of a digital system to move away from manual paper administration but has reached a point where it needs to elevate its digital capabilities to develop a novel, automated system to take full advantage of the latest advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
The successful applicant for this position will design novel data analysis and machine learning techniques to automate the capture of data within the setting and to provide data-driven, personalised insights to help staff make better care decisions. They will work with end users to design and deploy a software application, providing staff and other stakeholders with intuitive access to the AI-driven functionality.
The KTP will enable LMH to enhance the quality of care provided to residents and the operational efficiency of the business. Embedding the new knowledge will enable LMH to further disseminate the novel capabilities across the care sector through the provision of the Smart Care Home platform via a Saas model.
Candidate Profile: PhD in AI and/or Machine Learning (ML) or a Master’s degree with equivalent professional experience.
