How AI is transforming the NHS Whether being used to discover links between genetic codes, power surgical robots or maximise hospital efficiency, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the healthcare industry. By Tom Austin-Morgan.
According to the ONS, approximately 22% of all UK deaths in 2018 were considered avoidable. Of these, 64% could be attributed to causes considered preventable and 36% to treatable conditions. Improving the diagnostic process is therefore one of the most important areas where AI is being implemented.
For example, incomplete medical histories and large caseloads can lead to serious human error. Immune to human error, AI can predict and diagnose disease faster than most medical professionals. In one study, an AI model using algorithms and deep learning diagnosed breast cancer at a higher rate than 11 pathologists.
