The winners

The overall winner of the £10,000 prize for the best idea in the All-Innovate contest was DECancer.AI, developed by a team from Jesus College. Their personalised diagnostic platform uses AI to detect early cancer through analysis of an affordable blood test, combined with personalised medical history of the patient, allowing early treatment and cure. Since most cancers are curable when diagnosed early, this idea could have significant global and social impact. The team included students in Clinical Medicine and Physics. As Judge Brent Hoberman noted: “The time for this impressive diagnostic tool is now, and this is the Oxford team to seize their competitive advantage and deliver it.”

As DECancer.AI team member Peter Liu, DPhil candidate in Clinical Medicine from Jesus College, stated:

“We are so grateful for support from the Oxford Foundry, so that the DECancer.AI team can do our part in the fight against cancer, and support patients and their families. The All-Innovate Idea Competition has been an action packed and fast paced two weeks, and taught us indispensable skills in innovation, pitching, and entrepreneurship. We are also grateful for all the teams and friends we have met through All-Innovate, who continue to inspire us with their ideas. This is only the beginning for all of us to contribute to causes that will create positive impacts for our communities.”
