Sensyne announces collaboration with Exscientia

Sensyne Health announces one year agreement with Exscientia to utilise real-world data platform

Agreement includes an upfront payment for four SENSIGHT subscriptions and associated professional services

Oxford, U.K. - 24th December 2021 Sensyne Health plc (LSE:SENS or "the Company") today announced a one-year agreement with Exscientia to leverage the deep learning AI capabilities of the Sensyne platform to study real-world health data. 

Under the terms of the agreement, Exscientia will make an upfront payment for four SENSIGHT subscriptions and a project-based fee, with a 40/60 split between the two. Sensyne will apply its data science expertise to create bespoke data sets from its database of patient records to answer project-specific questions regarding biomarker discovery and targets for new medicines. Sensyne's collaborative relationship with the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS) means the Company is able to capture a more complete record of a patient's treatment over a longer period of time than is typically possible.

"We look forward to having the opportunity to leverage insights from Sensyne's platform. We believe having access to this real-world health data will not only potentially enhance our discovery of biomarkers, but also aid in patient selection for clinical trials," said Dr. Dan Crowther, VP of Bioinformatics at Exscientia.

The collaboration will use the SENSIGHT platform to enable the ethical analysis of anonymised patient data from Sensyne's growing network of strategic research partnerships with NHS Trusts in the UK and health systems in the United States, currently totalling 48.3 million patients1.

Lord (Paul) Drayson PhD FREng, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sensyne,

commented:

"Exscientia is a leader in AI-driven drug discovery and has already brought several AI-designed drug candidates to the clinical trial stage. We are excited about the opportunity to explore how we can work together to apply AI throughout the drug development process to bring new medicines to patients faster and more cost effectively."

SENSIGHT is a clinical AI platform that provides industrial scale access to insights from anonymised and de-identified RWD, across multiple therapy areas, from Sensyne's partner healthcare organisations in the UK and US, combined with built-in simple to use research algorithms. The platform provides life science professionals, medical research academics and clinicians with instant access to AI research capability to analyse health insights to inform decision making, generate deeper insights into patient journeys and improve the speed and outcomes of clinical trials.
