How do we ensure digital healthcare doesn't leave some patients behind?

The future of healthcare is bright. Daily articles and news reports herald the arrival of digital technologies and artificial intelligence right into the heart of our homes and healthcare institutions. Indeed, technology is not so much an add-on but seen to be essential to the NHS as we look to future proof our precious health service. The recent Topol Review explored how to prepare the workforce for a digital future, and the release of the "Code of Conduct for Artificial Intelligence Systems used by the NHS" amongst others are both statements of intent in order to deliver this ambitious digital agenda. In addition, Matt Hancock, secretary of state for health and social care, has also identified technology as the answer to some of the challenges faced by the NHS and this demonstrates the weight of commitment to artificial intelligence and digital health.
