Sensyne Health signs Strategic Advisory Services agreement with EY

EY to support Sensyne's mission to increase capacity to curate and analyse large numbers of anonymised datasets as it develops a global approach to the valuation of patient medical data

Oxford, UK; 21 November 2018: Sensyne Health plc (LSE: SENS), the British clinical AI technology company, and EY, the multinational professional services firm and one of the "Big Four" accounting firms, today announce a Strategic Advisory Services agreement. Under this agreement EY will provide 'design and build' specialist resources comprising strategy, analytics, cyber, valuation, risk and governance capabilities.

Sensyne Health is enabling healthcare providers and life sciences companies to collaborate ethically using the Company's clinical AI technology to analyse anonymised patient medical data across multiple linked datasets to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs and accelerate medical research.

This agreement with EY enables Sensyne Health to create global capacity and build on its unique business model which has been welcomed by the UK Government and resulted in partnerships with three NHS Trusts to date. The agreement will also enable Sensyne to scale up its business further, including responding to any government-led initiatives involving patient medical datasets.

Sensyne Health is creating a framework for the ethical commercial use of patient medical data, modelled on its business approach of a double bottom line providing an attractive commercial return and making a positive health and social impact. This business approach also facilitates investment in effective medical data curation and analysis through equitable deal structures and valuation models.
