The GP’s guide to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine

Authors

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine involves using computer programs, algorithms, and machine learning to analyse complex medical data and support clinical decision-making. In general practice, AI has the ability to transform patient care through predictive analytics, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, personalising treatment plans, and forecasting chronic disease risks, leading to proactive, tailored health care, and improved patient outcomes. Uptake of AI technologies in the medical workspace will be accelerated by increasing our awareness and understanding, and by heeding ethical and regulatory constraints.
