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.

Recognising the enormity of the challenges faced by the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic, experts from the University of Bristol have created a data monitoring system to help hospital staff as they care for patients.
One of the greatest challenges facing Intensive Care Units (ICUs) is the need to track and monitor test results, vital signs and patient trajectories. By working directly with clinical staff from University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW), Bristol University developed an operational data dashboard to be used in hospital ICUs.
“We reached out to the local hospitals at the start of the pandemic when they were under intense pressure and it quickly became clear that a clinical data dashboard would be of immense help,” says Professor Ian Craddock, who together with Dr Chris McWilliams and second year postgraduate student Marceli Wac, volunteered to be seconded to the local NHS.
