28 Jan 2026
AI In Healthcare Transformation Stage
  • Supporting diagnosis in Primary Care is critical to patient outcomes across the NHS 
  • We know that in order to improve diagnostic accuracy we have to suggest diagnoses before a patient comes in front of a clinician - AI can take a history pre-GP contact. 
  • Recommending diagnosis is a medical device. At present LLMs cannot reliable do this task. Neurosymbolic AI may be an alternative approach.
