A groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) model is being trained using NHS data from 57 million people in England in the hope it could predict disease and complications before they occur.
The world-first study, spearheaded by researchers at University College London (UCL) and King's College London (KCL), has the potential to “unlock a healthcare revolution”, officials said.
The AI, known as Foresight, uses technology similar to that of ChatGPT, however, instead of predicting text, Foresight analyses a patient's medical history to forecast potential future health issues.
The pilot study will operate within NHS England's Secure Data Environment, which will provide access to de-personalised records with patient data remaining under strict NHS control.
The new pilot comes after a study, published in the Lancet Digital Health in March 2024, found Foresight was able to predict the type of health conditions a patient is likely to develop in the future.
