'Patients could benefit from AI where it increases the time clinicians spend face-to-face with patients. If AI successfully reduces administrative burdens, this may make in-person appointments more effective, with clinicians focussed on the patient rather than administration. This was found in interim data from pilots, including from NHS England-funded studies in London (led by Great Ormond Street Hospital) have shown that ambient AI tools can drive efficiencies in the NHS, including reduced administrative burden and reduction in appointment times.

There will also be benefits to overall population health if new technologies support earlier diagnosis or more efficient care. For example, integrated data from wearables could benefit patients through improved health outcomes. Data, if available for a representative group of the population, could be used to identify disparities in health outcomes across diverse groups and target interventions to relevant group(s).

Evidence suggests the public has an increasing appetite for using technology to self-manage their care:

4 in 5 people said they would be happy to use technology to manage their health if recommended by the NHS, and more than 7 in 10 say they would use technology to avoid a hospital admission.
