Human Facial Expression Identification using AI for Clinical Trials

Transpharmation Ltd. is a leading global Contract Research Organisation (CRO) providing drug discovery support for the Biotech and Pharmaceutical Industry using preclinical models. The company's strategic plan is to expand into the clinical trials market. The vision behind this KTP is to develop an AI-powered software tool that objectively tracks human facial expressions called 'syllables' via machine learning techniques. Currently there is no commercial software available for human behaviour. This technology has the potential to significantly accelerate drug development timelines by providing objective assessment and identification of biomarkers through facial expression analysis. This will, in turn, significantly improve diagnostic accuracy, translatability, and operational efficiency, positioning Transpharmation as a market leader in the CRO industry.
