About us

We are the UK’s national Centre of Excellence for Regulatory Science and Innovation in AI and Digital Health. We work with innovators, regulators, patients and the NHS to optimise the regulation of AI and Digital Healthcare so as to accelerate innovation that will improve people’s lives.

At CERSI-AI, we work across the health and tech ecosystem to identify and address current and future needs and opportunities in the regulation of AI & Digital Healthcare products and services, using scientific methodology, community engagement and whole system impact. 

Our vision is to make the UK a global leader in the regulation of AI and digital healthcare, being recognised as the best place for innovators to develop, evaluate and market new products and services, and the best place for patients and health staff to benefit from AI and digitally-enabled healthcare.

Our role and funding

We were established through funding from the UK Government, provided by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funding agency, with the Office of Life Sciences and the Medicines and Health products Regulatory Agency (the MHRA). This funding forms part of the UK Government’s agenda to support innovation across a range of technologies, with AI and Digital Healthcare being one of their priority areas. We work closely with the MHRA, but we also work with all the UK health regulators (such as NICE, CQC and the HRA), and indeed many international regulators such as the FDA (USA), TGA (Australia) and the FSA (Singapore).

Our people

Our leadership and wider community represent the UK’s  exceptional expertise in regulatory science and the policy and practice of regulation and innovation. 

Our partners

The founding partners and wider community of CERSI-AI bring together the knowledge and skills of the UK’s Universities, the NHS, regulators and industry.

Our principles

It’s not just about ‘what’ we do, it is also about ‘how’ we do it. We are clear about our destination and how we want to get there. And we'd love you to get involved...
