"To have the knowledge of Ancoris to help support us at every step of the journey has been amazing. Ancoris truly is a partner that we hold in the highest regard."
Mutahar Ali
Head of Data Management, NHSBT
Ancoris was asked to establish a machine learning model that would use anonymised donor data plus some publicly available data to establish correlations, characteristics or insights into the data. Ancoris was also asked to demonstrate the benefits of the Google Cloud solutions vs the ones of the current architecture. The current stack used within NHSBT wasn’t capable of efficiently managing the large datasets.
NHSBT was limited to certain machine learning models within their current stack; performance tuning and updating the models required significant resources from the team. Within 3 weeks, Ancoris established a data warehouse using Google BigQuery, Data Build Tool (“DBT”), BigQuery ML, Vertex AI and Auto ML. This created a single patient view that used the data across public health services.
Ancoris created models with a fit of 85% and was able to showcase the key levers that impacted the model to the NHS. The information gathered by Ancoris will help the NHS improve its donor records in the hope they will be able to better support more patients in desperate need in the future.
Organisations of all sizes and across all sectors know they need to become more data driven: using the data they already collect to make better decisions, operate more efficiently, and improve customer experiences and engagement.
