Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform the health service by increasing patient care and freeing up staff time.
Its applications are numerous, ranging from identifying risk factors in order to help prevent chronic illnesses such as heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes to supporting clinicians by analyzing scans and x-rays to expedite diagnosis.
The technology also increases efficiency by performing basic administrative activities such as automated voice assistants, appointment scheduling, and gathering medical consultation notes.
‘Transformative’
Generative AI, a sort of artificial intelligence capable of producing numerous types of content, including text and visuals, will be revolutionary for patient outcomes, according to this.
Sir John is the president of Oxford’s Ellison Institute of Technology, a major new research and development facility that investigates worldwide concerns such as the application of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
He claims that generative AI would increase the accuracy of diagnostic scans and create predictions of patient outcomes under various medical interventions, resulting in more informed, personalized treatment decisions.
