MoU with Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB)
17/07/21: MoU with CTMUHB
01/10/21: Extended to RIW (external funders)
Situation
Tom Powell of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board wishes to enable CTMUHB research partners to capture and annotate voice data for the purposes of AI research.
Target Objective
CTMUHB research partners want to enable clinicians to capture data in a manner that will enable them to develop insights with regard to the relationship between speech and breathing conditions
Our Support of the Target Objective
CarefulAI has a platform for the capture of data: because of its work associated with COVID analytics. The data capture system is called NUDGDESHARE: elements of it are shown below. NUDGESHARE uses privacy protecting technology to enable users to understand the relationship between breathless and speech rate.
Next Steps
Tom Powell to attract funds to enable the deployment of NUDGESHARE for AI research purposes.
1. Specifically, the training of COPD clinicians in the use of NUDGESHARE for data capture
2. The distribution of encrypted NUDGESHARE data to a safe haven for AI research undertaken by CTMUHB partners
Insight Sharing between CTMUHB Partners and CarefulAI
Partners will share insights arising from analysis of the metrics (i.e word count per minute, spectral analysis) and clinical conditions of a defined population, in a manner that enables a statistically significant relationship to be drawn between metrics and breathing conditions.
MoU Status
This MoU does not constitute a contract. It explains the extent of a joint understanding. Each party will protect the nature and methods of systems described within it. Both parties in the MoU will insure the other against potential and existing breaches of confidence and any associated loss.
