Read our privacy policy Data from patients’ health records should be shared with private firms to improve care using artificial intelligence, the Government is told today. However, it also highlights how the NHS is failing to exploit AI through data tie-ups with the likes of Your.MD, which offers “immediate trustworthy healthcare advice” via a mobile phone app. It quotes Matteo Berlucchi, the firm’s chief executive, who appealed for “access to reliable and consistent data sets of anonymised personal health records” to push forward the project. The report, entitled Growing the Artificial Intelligence Industry in the UK, argues the “security challenges” holding up access to health data for AI “can be overcome by agreements”.
