Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to be rolled out more widely across the NHS in a bid to diagnose diseases and treat patients faster.
The Government has announced a £21 million funding pot that NHS trusts can apply for to implement AI tools for the likes of medical imaging and decision support.
This includes tools that analyse chest X-rays in suspected cases of lung cancer.
AI technology that can diagnose strokes will also be available to all stroke networks by the end of 2023 – up from 86% – and could help patients get treated faster and lead to better health outcomes.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said the technology could help cut NHS waiting lists ahead of winter.
