'If you're not taking risks, you're not innovating hard enough' - Anthony Nolan CIO Danny Attias

Technology is bone-deep at cancer charity Anthony Nolan

Stem cells are the root of all new growth in the human body. They can turn into any other type of cell, making them one of the most important tools healthcare has to treat cancer; for some people, especially those with blood or bone cancer, stem cells represent their only hope of survival.

That's why stem cell donation is so important, and why many organisations make it their main goal to gather more donors. One of these is Anthony Nolan, which has more than 800,000 people on its own donor register. However, every year more than 400 people in the UK still fail to find a suitable donor.

Danny Attias is the Chief Digital and Information Officer at Anthony Nolan. In this video interview, he talks to Computing's Noel Anderson about the effect of the coronavirus pandemic; future technologies that will aid the charity sector in general, and Anthony Nolan specifically; the impact of social media; and his preferred vision for a post-Covid future.
