\n \n\n \n \nA new end-to-end ecosystem for clinical AI \u2013 from data preparation to implementation \u2013 offers the NHS a reproducible blueprint for deploying trustworthy, human-centred tools for patients with multiple long-term conditions.
\n \n\n \n \nHospital admission for adolescent eating disorders can disrupt recovery. ARC OxTV is building the economic evidence for Hospital at Home \u2013 an intensive community-based alternative developed in the Thames Valley.
\n \n\n \n \nAnalysis of nearly 33,000 pupils in the OxWell Student Survey reveals that children from disadvantaged and minority ethnic backgrounds are more likely to be denied mental health support and less likely to find it helpful.
\n \n\n \n \nOne in three UK adolescents is above a healthy weight, but current services aren't meeting their needs. This ARC OxTV research reveals what young people actually want from weight support \u2013 and how services are starting to change.
\n \n\n \n \nWhen care home residents become physically unwell, hospital admission is still the default \u2013 despite the harm it can cause. This research reveals what needs to change and where Hospital at Home is already working.
\n \n\n \n \nThe OxWell Student Survey has gathered responses from over 170,000 young people across England since 2019. Its data platform returns findings directly to schools and local authorities, driving changes to mental health support, school policies, and commissioning decisions.
\n \n\n \n \nThe ARTEMIS app helped adults lose weight without any clinician input \u2013 and more than doubled the odds of clinically meaningful weight loss. A large trial shows it works safely, equitably, and at minimal cost.
\n \n\n \n \nARC OxTV's evaluation of England's digital weight management programme proved it cost-effective and equitable \u2013 directly influencing the 10 Year Health Plan commitment to double referrals, reaching 125,000 more people annually.
\n \n\n \n \nSix years of evidence on Oxfordshire's whole-family safeguarding reform. Children experienced fewer intensive interventions and shorter time in services \u2013 but only when key elements were delivered consistently. What worked, what didn't, and what comes next.
\n \n\n \n \nARC OxTV researchers developed online training and digital tools to get proven rehabilitation programmes for rheumatoid arthritis, spinal stenosis, and shoulder problems into NHS practice faster \u2013 cutting appointments and reaching underserved communities.
\n \n\n \n \nA digital programme empowering parents to treat child anxiety reduced clinician time by 40% with equivalent outcomes. Now NICE-recommended and used by over 1,000 families, it is rolling out across the NHS and internationally.
\n \n\n \n \nNew research quantifies the NHS costs of childhood overweight and obesity at \u00a3270 million per year and identifies critical windows for early intervention \u2013 strengthening the economic case for prevention in England.
