Daily Mail Media Feature: Potential for AI in NHS is 'limitless', expert says

The potential for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the NHS could be “limitless,” but the pace of its rollout should “balance safety with efficiency”, according to an expert.

Dr Adam Dubis, associate professor and programme lead in digital health and entrepreneurship at University College London’s (UCL’s) Global Business School for Health, told the PA news agency AI could help in several areas, such as how long it takes until patients are seen.

He said: “The potential impact on the NHS is limitless. We are well aware of the long wait times to get into the GP and routine follow-up care.

“Having AI-enabled assistants will help triage these and provide necessary support for those waiting.

“A system optimised by AI which sees the sickest first, for whom intervention is still possible, is more time and cost efficient.”

The article featuring Prof Dubis's view on the potential of AI in the NHS for improving healthcare efficiency and quality has been published in over 100 media outlets, including the Daily Mail, The Independent, Daily Express, and Yahoo! News UK.
