The Sunday Times- The app that promised an NHS ‘revolution’ then went down in flames
At the time, the “AI” Parsa was selling was a symptom-checker that would suggest possible treatments based on answers to prompts. Behind it, though, was not a complex algorithm but “decision trees written by doctors, put into an Excel spreadsheet”, Harvey said. It was, in short, a zippier way to look up answers in a medical textbook. Harvey was dismayed.
So the Theranos of the NHS?
Were the Arrivecan developers involved?
Typical AI hype. Just a decision tree, not even a data base with heuristics, ubintelligent and totally artificial.
I can’t access the link. I just get a CAPTCHA farming page. (Endlessly recycles CAPTCHAS).
Same here. I get them from time to time and don’t know how to get around them.
This has nothing to do with AI. These people pulled a bait and switch. Actual cutting edge AI is better than a human doctor at diagnosing illness.
I doubt it.
