UK invests £21M to expand AI technologies within the National Health Service

June 23 2023
The UK government has committed £21 million ($26.75 million) to National Health Service (NHS) trusts to accelerate the deployment of AI tools in hospitals across the country. The investment aims to bring promising AI imaging and decision-support tools to diagnose and treat patients with heart conditions, cancer, and strokes. The government plans to deploy AI tools in all NHS stroke networks by the end of this year and use AI to analyze chest x-rays to detect early signs of lung cancer. NHS Trusts can apply for funding for any AI diagnostic tool but must justify their request in terms of value-for-money.
