CEREBRIS focuses on Multi AI-Agents to Revolutionise the Management of Neurological Diseases and is one of only 44 projects selected in the 2025 European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder programme, which supports visionary research with transformative potential.

At the University of Bath, the project team is led by Professor Damien Coyle, Director of the Bath Institute for the Augmented Human (IAH) and member of the RCSI Advisory Board, together with Professor Michael Yang, Dr Benjamin Metcalfe, Dr Steffi Colyer and Dr Adwait Sharma.

Background information

CEREBRIS tackles one of today’s most pressing health challenges — neurological disease. The project will develop a secure, federated, and explainable AI ecosystem for stroke care, capable of learning from diverse patient data including brain scans, motion patterns, and neural signals. By enabling hospitals and research centres to collaborate without sharing raw data, CEREBRIS ensures privacy while improving diagnostics, treatment, and rehabilitation outcomes.

The goal is to transform the stroke-care pathway — from early diagnosis through recovery — reducing long-term disability and healthcare costs worldwide.

Participation in CEREBRIS builds on Bath’s leading research in neurotechnology, spatial computing, neuroimaging, and biomechanics, supporting the University’s commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration that advances health and human performance.
