BMJ Group joins RADIANT to drive safe and effective digital health innovation

BMJ Group is pleased to be part of RADIANT, a newly established Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI) for Transformative Digital Health and AI. Funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), RADIANT will tackle regulatory challenges in digital health, ensuring AI-driven healthcare innovations are safe, trusted, and sustainable.

Led by Brunel University London, RADIANT is a collaboration between leading universities, businesses, and healthcare organisations, including King’s College London, UCL, University of Westminster, Imperial College NHS Trust, Helix Data Innovation, Zinc, BMJ Group, and the Health Innovation Network of South London.

BMJ Group’s involvement in the project is significant as a global healthcare knowledge provider, contributing to regulatory and innovation efforts. Alongside other collaborators, BMJ Group will support the development of safe, trusted, and sustainable regulatory frameworks, ensuring that digital health solutions can advance while safeguarding users. Through our expertise in evidence-based medicine, publishing, and knowledge dissemination, we will help translate cutting-edge research into practical, accessible guidance for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and innovators. The BMJ Future Health team will work with colleagues across RADIANT at BMJ Future Health events throughout 2025.

Dr Ashley McKimm, Director of Partnerships and Innovation at BMJ Group, said:

“Regulatory science must keep pace with the rapid development of AI and digital health technologies to ensure safe and effective patient care. BMJ Group is excited to contribute our knowledge dissemination and evidence-based practice expertise to support this vital initiative.”

By fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and healthcare, RADIANT will play a crucial role in shaping the future of digital health regulation. BMJ Group’s focus remains on ensuring that knowledge is shared widely, helping to bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice.
