Harmony: A new AI data tool for Research at the Alan Turing Institute

The Harmony project is an Official Partner of AI UK 2025, the UK’s national showcase of data science and artificial intelligence, hosted by The Alan Turing Institute.

Bettina Moltrecht and Thomas Wood will be presenting Harmony at the AI UK event and we will also have a stall.

  • 📅 Date: 17-18 March 2025
  • 📍 Location: Queen Elizabeth II Centre, Westminster, London.
  • 📍 Room: Workshop space three, Albert room, Second floor

​Join the workshop – Monday 17 March, 10 AM - 12 PM – where we’ll dive deep into how Harmony is being used to improve research data with Bettina Moltrecht and Thomas Wood.

Harmony is a new open-source data tool, a winner of the Wellcome Trust Mental Health Data Prize, which uses custom LLMs to help researchers compare and harmonise metadata from different research studies.

Join this 2 hour workshop for a deep dive into the Harmony project, get insights into the tool, how to use it and how it can transform your research and data science processes. We will also introduce to the next phase of Harmony where we will apply it to data discovery challenges. There will be live demos of the tool and live discussion around use cases and applications. We will also share our coding and design challenges and how you can get involved in in the Harmony community.

Workshop booking will open for all in person delegates at 10am on the 12th March

The Ethics of AI in Healthcare: Opportunities and Risks

Guest post by Jay Dugad Artificial intelligence has become one of the most talked-about forces shaping modern healthcare. Machines detecting disease, systems predicting patient deterioration, and algorithms recommending personalised treatments all once sounded like science fiction but now sit inside hospitals, research labs, and GP practices across the world.

How can you use large language models and stay HIPAA or GDPR compliant?

How can you use large language models and stay HIPAA or GDPR compliant?

If you are developing an application that needs to interpret free-text medical notes, you might be interested in getting the best possible performance by using OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, or another large language model. But to do that, you would need to send sensitive data, such as personal healthcare data, into the third party LLM. Is this allowed?
