New AI Software That Can Detect Lung Cancer And Heart Disease Will Soon Be Available To NHS Hospitals

A research team from a hospital in Oxford have created artificial intelligence that can diagnose scans for lung cancer and heart disease. The AI system will reportedly help in saving billions of dollars by helping to diagnose the diseases much earlier. NHS hospitals can avail the technology for free, beginning summer 2018, and AI could help in saving the NHS. "There is about £2.2bn spent on pathology services in the NHS. You may be able to reduce that by 50%," said immunologist Sir John Bell.
