‘C the Signs’ artificial intelligence program scans medical records to increase likelihood of spotting cancers
Artificial intelligence that scans GP records to find hidden patterns has helped doctors detect significantly more cancer cases.
The rate of cancer detection rose from 58.7% to 66.0% at GP practices using the “C the Signs” AI tool. This analyses a patient’s medical record to pull together their past medical history, test results, prescriptions and treatments, as well as other personal characteristics that might indicate cancer risk, such as their postcode, age and family history.
