The benefits of using Ledidi Core for NHS

How Ledidi Core is improving data use and research in the NHS

Ledidi Core is a secure and seamless end-to-end platform for health research, clinical audit and registries. A SaaS platform that empowers the global health and life science community to collaborate and conduct innovative research in real time, together.

Common challenges across the NHS

Excel sheets are being used for data capture and storage

A significant amount of important data, for example in registries, is being entered and stored in excel. Whilst excel is useful for some tasks, it is not fit for purpose for research, audits, or registries. Data entry is slow and cumbersome, while storage and transferring of data is risky and insecure. Data is not being used to its maximum value for patient benefit.

The solution: With Ledidi Core, you can effortlessly collect structured data using drag-and-drop entry forms, import data from existing datasets/spreadsheets, or seamlessly integrate with other software through our API.

A lack of time, funding, and confidence with statistics is preventing important research from being conducted

Traditionally, complex systems such as SPSS have been used for conducting analysis on research. This requires time and a significant understanding of statistics. Alternatively, statisticians are employed, which adds significant time delays and cost to projects.

The solution: Ledidi Core has a user-friendly and intuitive analysis panel with a rich repertoire of built-in descriptive and comparative statistical analyses that works for all, no matter the level of knowledge in statistics.

Use statistics and data visualisation to get real-time results. All analyses can be performed without exposing the underlying primary data. This allows you to preserve the data privacy and confidentiality of any sensitive data your dataset may contain.

Data is stuck in un-useable formats, meaning it isn't being utilised for secondary uses such as research and quality improvement

Many clinicians and sites have lots of data stored up but it isn't being used to its full potential. Data can provide immense value to improve patient outcomes, for research, and for quality audits. Often, if data is accessible, it's not an easy process to analyse or visualise the data.

The Solution: Ledidi Core allows instant analysis and visualisation within customisable dashboards. No need to rely on statisticians or software developers to code dashboards. Empower yourself and your team to manage their own data.

A lack of collaborative tools, meaning multi-site projects are delayed or too challenging to complete

Without fit-for-use tools, collaborative projects across sites and sectors are challenging to complete, delaying vital research progression.

The solution: Ledidi Core is tailor-made for research collaboration. Whether it is a small research project or a study spanning various institutions - this versatile platform covers all your needs.

Our platform enables privacy-preserving data sharing while ensuring secure access management through role-based access control. It allows teams, departments, and organisations to collaborate seamlessly across borders while maintaining compliance with international data privacy frameworks such as EU-GDPR and US-HIPAA.

Clinical audit

Collaborate within and beyond your site and specialty to conduct clinical audits for quality improvements.

Ensure only clean data is submitted, easily design the data entry form with drag and drop functionality, and assign roles and permissions to protect primary data. Analysis can be conducted on the specific sites or national data, whilst preserving patient-level data.

Security and privacy by design and default

Ledidi Core is developed using Privacy Enhancing Technologies on the AWS cloud infrastructure.

Data stored in Ledidi Core is secured end-to-end with Confidential Computing combined with encryption of data when stored and in transit. Access to data is protected by multi-factor authentication, and the platform uses industry standards for logging, backups, data restoration and prevention of attacks. Access to primary data containing sensitive information is restricted using roles and privileges.

The database functions and support from Ledidi's biostatisticians and programmers has been transformative. Moving our data from an Excel spreadsheet into a fully functional database is allowing us to analyse these data in new ways, unlocking outcome associations and trends, and allowing us to explore new ways to predict outcomes.

I can genuinely say that I’ve never been so excited by data before! Seeing our data being explored, analysed and opened up through the Ledidi Core database and analytics team has left me beaming with excitement as we consider how we can apply new lessons to our understanding about SDR surgery."

Dr John Goodden, Consultant Neurosurgeon, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

We transitioned from regular excel spreadsheets onto the Ledidi platform with ease. The ability to give a member of the team his/her own privacy level helps to optimise for GDPR standards. Going forward, this is the platform where all our research database and statistical analysis would be done.

It has been a delight working with the Ledidi team exploring future options for our Oncology Database (ONKOS) and support for Research and Development. The product is clear in its offer – it feels to me like intelligent BI with a light statistical capability. Ideal for clinicians looking at case series for presentations and the first steps to publications.

Our ONKOS system drives the Oncology Department’s international reputation for research in the field of musculoskeletal sarcomas. The ask was to see if we could design the potential successor to our system and to come at the problem from the basis of integrating existing data systems, adding what we could in terms of value for clinicians.

What you don’t know, until you work with Ledidi, is how positive, proactive and efficient they are in their application. The solution demonstrated after our innovation sprint was a showcase of Ledidi’s rapid understanding, not only of our systems, but also the meaning of our clinical data; ability to place in context. The added layer was a surprise too – a deep understanding of the clinician-researchers need to manage ad hoc and short-term data collection for individual studies. Neatly integrated into a unified solution.

I have no hesitation at all in recommending this company to work with, based on our experiences to date.

Matthew Revell, Executive Medical Director, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

The Ledidi platform has been extremely useful for us and it has also helped us collaborate with wider teams. It is easy to use and the Ledidi team has been really helpful with all our questions. So far the platform has cut down a lot of the time consuming parts of audit work and I am still learning all the amazing things it can help with analysing the data!

Gabriella, Breast Cancer Pharmacist at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Trust

Really intuitive. Easy to input and clean data. The statistical analyses are easy to apply and make really high quality figures. Such a well thought out application which brings an end to Excel spreadsheets and difficult to use statistical analysis programmes.

Medical oncologist at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust

Our early impression of the platform is that it has a lot of functionalities that would take a number of years to develop internally. We see this tool as a significant enabler in analysing our own real-world data.

Head of Pharmacy at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust

Partnering with Ledidi on this evaluation of their Ledidi Core platform gives us the opportunity to assess its role in optimising clinical data management. We are focused on understanding how it could enhance the efficiency of our audits and research activities, while promoting collaboration across different specialties. A key area of interest is assessing its role in supporting improved patient outcomes. It is great to be supporting an international company like Ledidi through the Innovation Pop Up, and hopefully playing a part in their efforts to scale adoption across the UK.
