Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust partners with Annalise.ai and Newton’s Tree to Deliver Faster, Smarter Diagnosis

Update: Harrison.ai Radiology solutions were previously marketed as Annalise.ai.

Leeds, UK – May 29, 2025 – Thousands of patients in Leeds are set to benefit from faster and more accurate chest X-ray diagnoses thanks to a new artificial intelligence (AI) software that is undergoing clinical evaluation at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT).

Every year, over 135,000 chest X-rays are performed at LTHT, many of which are crucial for making urgent clinical decisions. The newly implemented software will act as a “second pair of eyes” for clinicians, identifying up to 85 different findings – including findings suggestive of lung cancer, acute infections, and incorrectly placed feeding and breathing tubes – with results delivered in minutes.

Part of a regional project backed by the NHS AI Diagnostic Fund and delivered through the Yorkshire Imaging Collaborative (YIC), LTHT has partnered with AI company Annalise.ai and vendor-neutral platform Newton’s Tree to bring this cutting-edge tool to our hospitals.

Dr Fahmid Chowdhury, Consultant Radiologist and Clinical Lead for the project at Leeds Teaching Hospitals said: “This technology is about putting patients first. By helping busy frontline staff detect serious conditions quickly and accurately, Annalise’s Enterprise CXR solution will support clinical decision-making and allow us to get patients the treatment they need faster. Such large-scale evaluations of the use of AI in everyday clinical practice should provide crucial information to inform our future use of AI to improve the quality of care that we provide to our patients”.

The software could also play a key role in patient safety, helping to detect critical conditions such as chest sepsis promptly and reducing the risk of avoidable complications, such as “never events” involving misplaced medical tubes. This collaboration with Annalise.ai and Newton’s Tree ensures that Leeds patients will benefit from some of the most advanced diagnostic tools available in the NHS today.

Dr Aengus Tran, co-founder and CEO of Annalise.ai, said: “We are happy to partner with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Newton’s Tree to bring our AI-powered diagnostic support to the frontline of patient care. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency for the NHS with proven, highly sophisticated technologies.”

Haris Shuaib, CEO of Newton’s Tree, and NHS Consultant Clinical Scientist said: “We’re proud to support Leeds in this important deployment. This is a strong example of how AI can be adopted responsibly and effectively when built around real clinical needs and backed by the right infrastructure. Our mission is to make AI easier to deploy, safer to use, and more valuable for both clinicians and patients across the NHS.”
