About DIAGNOSYS

The DIAGNOSYS system (up to v2.3) was a TLTP Phase 1 project, based around the five unversities of the North-east (Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumbria at Newcastle, Sunderland and Teesside) with the principal site at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The TLTP scheme was funded by the HE funding councils of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Since January 1996, development has continued, largely by the original project director, Dr John Appleby, at the University of Newcastle.
