Overview
The British National Health Service (NHS) will deploy generative AI tools for identifying and treating illnesses like cancer, heart disease, and strokes, funded by the government’s AI Diagnostic Fund. NHS Trusts can apply for grants to buy and embed AI diagnostic tools from developers in hospitals if approved by the Fund. The British Health Secretary aims to make generative AI assistance available in every stroke treatment center in the country by the end of the year. The AI is trained on medical databases to look for and report indicators of health problems like lung cancer or incipient stroke.
