Hey @TheEconomist! Come speak to us on this: “Nobody at Microsoft, let alone in the nhs, yet knows how best to put generativeAI to use—and would you trust Chatgpt to fill out medical forms…?” We have very clear ideas…and clinicians are excited about those forms being filled!

Why bother with AI for lateral flow? To me it's this sentence: "The number of true positives identified increased from 93 (identified by trained Assisted Testing Site Operators) to 123 (identified by the algorithm and confirmed by clinical reviewers). @SensyneHealth
