Summary
Using a “One Health” approach, the ground-breaking project tackles the increasing threats of emerging pathogens to both human health and the environment. In line with global sustainability goals and strategic initiatives like the UKRI Strategy 2022–2027 and the Medical Technology Strategy, the initiative seeks to establish a sustainable paradigm for future health needs. To detect and track newly emerging bacterial pathogens, the project entails transforming sensors and materials into a digital twin format and incorporating artificial intelligence.
