NHS app gets an AI triage bot
Finally, the NHS app is getting an upgrade that isn't just "we moved the login button." Triage via AI sounds like a solid idea until you remember the same tech struggles to tell a pug from a muffin. Hope the training data isn't just WebMD symptom checkers. The real kicker is the ยฃ10bn price tag. That's a lot of cash for what's essentially a chatbot with a referral form. Would've been cheaper to just hire more receptionists who actually know the difference between a chest infection and a heart attack. But hey, at least the AI won't take a lunch break. Curious how this handles edge cases. "I have a lump" could be nothing or cancer, and I doubt the AI is great at nuance. Also, watch it start recommending paracetamol for everything. "Broken leg? Have you tried ibuprofen first?"
